500 KB KYC cap

Character certificates, caste, GST, Form 16, passbook, and many university attachments stop at 500 KB. This page defaults there. Pages are rebuilt as JPEG. Selectable text is lost. A two-page certificate usually stays readable. A 20-page colour statement often needs a split. Last checked: September 2026. Confirm on the form. Not a government website.

When to use 2 MB or 1 MB instead

Visa desks and banks often allow 2 MB. Email checklists often want 1 MB. Stay on 500 KB only when the circular names that cap. Family packs of several certificates belong on the family document pack (merge, then 2 MB) unless the portal is tighter. Processing stays in this tab. No account. No watermark. We do not pad a small PDF up to 500 KB.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Exact cap?Open

512,000 bytes. The download is at or under 500 KB. Type 200 KB if the portal is stricter.

Quality vs size?Open

500 KB is tight for long colour scans. A 2–4 page certificate usually stays readable. A 20-page statement may need splitting.

Scanned vs born-digital?Open

Scans fit 500 KB more easily. A dense exported PDF is rasterized; selectable text goes away.

Still over 500 KB?Open

After quality and page-shrink passes, drop fewer pages. Merge-then-cap lives on Merge PDF to 500KB.

Photos instead of a PDF?Open

Yes. Drop each page in order. Output is one .pdf.

Character certificate or resume?Open

Same cap, different copy. Use the matching document page so the FAQ matches the form.
