Common Recruitment Portal Errors and How Kagazo Fixes Them
Critical failure points prevented by our automated validation engine:
File Compressed Below Portal Minimum
Commissions like TNPSC reject files under 100 KB due to low-res legibility rules. Kagazo locks a 170–190 KB sweet spot.
Fractional Excess Causing Upload Failure
Government servers block files that exceed stated limits by even 0.1 KB. Kagazo enforces strict safety ceilings.
Over-Quantization Blurring Gazetted Stamps
Aggressive lossy compression destroys fine ink signatures. Kagazo preserves high-contrast edge curves.
Corrupted Metadata in PDF Scans
Low-quality tools strip PDF compliance headers. Kagazo outputs standard ISO-compliant PDF 1.7 streams.
Frequently Asked Questions
Verified answers regarding exam portal requirements, document security, and file formatting:
What is the standard PDF file size limit for government exams in India?
Most central and state commissions enforce limits between 100 KB and 300 KB. SSC standardizes on 50–200 KB, TNPSC on strictly 100–200 KB, and UPSC ORA on 100–300 KB. Kagazo provides calibrated presets for all major commissions.
Will official rubber stamps and gazetted officer signatures remain legible?
Yes. Kagazo isolates high-frequency line art and stamp contours, preventing ink bleeding or blurriness while selectively compressing background paper texture.
Why do some government portals reject PDFs that are too small?
Commissions like TNPSC set a strict 100 KB minimum floor to prevent applicants from uploading heavily pixelated scans where roll numbers and grades cannot be verified by scrutiny committees.
Can I combine and compress both sides of a marksheet into one PDF?
Yes! Upload both pages into our workflow. The engine balances compression across both sheets to ensure the combined document stays within the prescribed limit.
Are my confidential educational credentials uploaded to any server?
Never. Kagazo processes all PDF documents locally in your browser memory via WebAssembly. Zero files are uploaded or stored remotely.
Does Kagazo add any watermark or Kagazo logo to my compressed document?
No. All documents generated by Kagazo are 100% clean with zero watermarks, brand stamps, or alterations.
How can I verify that my PDF is ready for portal submission?
After compression, check the exact output file size shown in kilobytes and use the built-in zoom loupe to confirm that all text, serial numbers, and signatures are crisp.
Which image formats can I convert into compliant exam PDFs?
You can convert JPG, PNG, and mobile HEIC scans into compliant PDF documents directly using our dedicated exam tools.
Can I compress community, EWS, and disability certificates with this tool?
Yes. The engine is optimized for all official certificates issued by Tehsildars, Revenue Authorities, and Medical Boards.
Does this tool work on mobile devices?
