Type the exact size your form asks for and compress to fit. Works in KB or MB, entirely in your browser — the file is never uploaded.
Multiply by 1024. 1MB is 1024KB, 1.5MB is 1536KB, 2MB is 2048KB, 5MB is 5120KB.
You can enter any value, but what is achievable depends on the document. A single scanned page can usually reach 30–50KB. A long multi-page scan cannot, and the tool will tell you the smallest readable size it reached instead.
Not necessarily. Hitting a fixed size means re-encoding pages as images, so selectable text may become part of the picture. If your portal requires searchable text, check the output before submitting.
No. Compression runs in your browser using your own device. The file never leaves it, which matters for identity documents, marksheets and financial records.
None of the three. The tool is free, adds nothing to your document and does not require an account.
Upload forms rarely agree on sizes. One portal wants 120KB, another 180KB, a third asks for 1.5MB. Rather than compressing to the nearest preset and hoping, enter the figure your form actually states and the tool targets that number directly.
Type the limit in kilobytes into the target box before compressing. For a megabyte limit, multiply by 1024 — 1MB is 1024KB, 1.5MB is 1536KB, 2MB is 2048KB. The tool aims just under whatever you enter so the file clears the limit however the portal counts it.
Some targets cannot be met while the document stays readable — a twenty-page scan will not become 50KB. Rather than returning something illegible, the tool reports the smallest readable size it managed and suggests splitting the document. That is more useful than a file the portal accepts but a verifier cannot read.
If your limit is a standard one, the size-specific pages carry guidance for that exact figure and the use cases behind it.
Fixed sizes: 50KB · 100KB · 150KB · 200KB · 250KB · 300KB · 500KB · 1MB · 2MB
