Fix PDF upload limits without sending files to a server

When a portal rejects your file for being too large, ExactPDF gives you exact-size compression and related workflows that run locally.

What to try first

Start with the exact file limit shown by the portal. If the PDF is already optimized, switch to page split, JPG export, or image compression.

  • Choose the exact target size
  • Preview whether target was reached
  • Use split/JPG fallback when compression cannot go further

Common upload-limit workflows

The fastest path depends on the portal requirement, not just the PDF itself.

  • One PDF under 200KB
  • Separate JPG pages under a per-image limit
  • Merged application packet under 2MB or 5MB

Questions people ask before using it

Can every PDF reach 200KB?

No. If a file is already heavily optimized or has many pages, ExactPDF will show the best result and recommend fallbacks.

What if a portal needs JPG instead of PDF?

Use PDF to JPG or high-resolution image export, then compress if required.

Do upload-limit tools work locally?

Yes. The browser tool handles the file on your device.
