- 3Download the result and check it opens cleanly before you submit it.
When you need this
Online applications, concours registrations, government portals and e-mail attachments often cap PDF uploads at a strict size. FileNorm compresses scanned documents to fit under that limit while keeping pages readable, so your dossier is accepted the first time.
Frequently asked questions
- Is 1MB enough for a multi-page document?
- Usually yes — 1MB comfortably fits a 5-15 page scanned or photo-heavy PDF at readable quality. Very long documents (30+ pages) may need a lower per-page image quality to fit.
- Which portals ask for exactly 1MB?
- 1MB is one of the most common upload caps for job application portals, university admissions, and some government dossiers — a middle-ground limit, stricter than 2MB but looser than 500KB.
- Will compressing to 1MB affect text sharpness?
- No — compression targets the embedded images inside the PDF, not the text layer, so any real text stays crisp regardless of the target size.
- What if my file is already under 1MB?
- The tool detects that and skips unnecessary re-compression, so you don't lose quality for no reason.
