Frequently asked questions
What size limit do most university portals set?
Common limits are 2 MB, 5 MB, or 10 MB per document. UCAS, Common App, and most European university systems enforce 5 MB or lower.
My transcript is a scanned PDF - will it compress well?
Yes. Scanned documents are image-heavy and compress the most in Compact mode, often shrinking by 60–80% while remaining fully readable.
