Frequently Asked Questions
Why does government portals require files under target size?
Government portals receive millions of uploads. Enforcing a target size limit keeps their servers fast and their databases manageable for officials who review applications.
Will my text still be legible after compressing to target size?
Yes. Our algorithm uses content-aware compression that prioritises text sharpness and contrast so your document remains clear and readable.
Is my personal document safe when I upload it?
Absolutely. We process files in an isolated temporary session and auto-delete them within 15 minutes. We never read, store, or share your data.
My PDF has 100 pages — can I still compress it to target size?
It depends. A single-page scan can reliably reach target size. For multi-page PDFs, try removing unnecessary pages first or scanning in black-and-white mode.
Does the tool add a watermark to my file?
No. Utilifyx does not add any watermarks. Your compressed PDF is clean and ready for official submission.
Can I use this on my phone without installing anything?
Yes, the tool works entirely in your mobile browser. Just open Utilifyx, upload your file, and download the compressed version — no app required.
