Hitting your exam form's upload limit
The page opens on the Balanced quality preset (72 DPI), a widely used default for exam-form uploads, but every portal differs, so switch to Target size and pick the exact limit your specific exam form states. Switch to Target size if you need a hard cap — it tries multiple quality levels and keeps the sharpest file that fits. Processing is local, so your documents are never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a PDF for an online exam form?+
Drop the PDF onto this page. It opens on the Balanced quality preset (72 DPI) and gives you a smaller file to download and upload to the exam form. Set the target to whatever cap your portal shows.
What size limit do exam forms usually set?+
It varies a lot between boards, but scanned document caps commonly fall between roughly 100 KB and 500 KB, with photos and signatures smaller. Always follow the exact figure on your exam portal.
Are my exam documents kept private?+
Yes. Everything runs in your browser. Files are never uploaded and never leave your device.
Will the scan still be readable after compressing?+
Yes. Only embedded images are downsampled while text and vectors stay sharp, so scanned certificates and forms stay legible.
Do I have to pay or register?+
No. It is completely free with no watermark, no sign-up, and no file limits, and it works offline once the page has loaded.
