Pre-set cap · 1 MB
JPG to PDF in 1 MB
The roomier end of the cap family: visa counters, scholarship forms and document portals that accept up to 1 MB or 2 MB. Pages keep most of their photographic quality and the whole document still weighs what the form demands.

The page order is the list order below. Photos with EXIF rotation are straightened automatically. With a cap on, every page is re-encoded just enough to fit under it — counted the way forms count, 1 KB = 1,000 bytes.

How the 1 MB budget is shared
A 1 MB PDF holds 4–8 document pages at good quality:
| Pages | Each page gets | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | ≈ 500 KB | Comfortable |
| 3 | ≈ 333 KB | Comfortable |
| 4 | ≈ 250 KB | Comfortable |
| 6 | ≈ 167 KB | Comfortable |
Why this cap will actually pass
A megabyte is where compression becomes invisible — pages keep everyday photographic quality and the file still sails under caps that reject 5 MB phone bundles. The builder targets 1,000,000 bytes, the stricter decimal reading, so portals and Windows File Explorer both accept the file.
Need the pixels smaller instead of the bundle smaller? The resize tool trims dimensions; 100 KB and 50 KB preset pages compress the photos individually; the full PDF builder runs quality-first when no cap exists.

1 MB, answered
My portal allows up to 2 MB — should I use this page anyway?
Under 1 MB is also under 2 MB, so yes. Keeping the byte budget small costs you nothing at upload time, and at 1 MB the encoding is usually indistinguishable from an uncapped build.
How many photos can fit under 1 MB?
Four to eight typical document pages per bundle. More pages share the same budget, so each one gets a little softer — the result card shows the exact final size before you download.
Does the builder count 1 MB as 1,000 KB or 1,024?
It targets 1,000,000 bytes — the stricter, decimal reading that upload forms use. That also passes the Windows File Explorer reading (about 976 KB), so both counters accept the same file.
Is anything uploaded during the build?
No — everything happens inside the browser tab on your device. Nothing is transmitted, queued or stored.
