About Compress PDF

Compress homework PDFs in the browser so WhatsApp and school portals accept them — without uploading exam papers to a random site.

Compression runs in your browser. Files are not uploaded to Mentr servers.

WhatsApp size limits and school portals

Indian tutors live on WhatsApp. Large phone scans and image-heavy notes often fail to send. Compressing a PDF for WhatsApp is one of the highest-intent jobs on this hub — and it should not require uploading exam papers to an unknown cloud.

Light mode repacks the file. Strong mode scales pages slightly for a bigger size drop. Always open the result once before sharing with parents.

पीडीएफ कंप्रेस — WhatsApp लिमिट से पहले

भारत में ट्यूटर्स और पेरेंट्स रोज़ WhatsApp पर PDF भेजते हैं। बड़ी स्कैन फ़ाइल अटक जाती है। यहाँ Light या Strong मोड से साइज़ घटाएँ — फाइल आपके डिवाइस पर रहती है।

भेजने के बाद विषय समझ नहीं आ रहा हो तो Mentr पर tutor खोजें — connect मुफ़्त।

Quality vs size — a practical rule

Keep originals for printing answer scripts. Use Strong only for chat sharing. If readability suffers, split into smaller ranges instead of crushing one giant file.
