How to
How to convert JPG to PDF under 2 MB
- 01
Add your pages
Photos or scans of each page, or a PDF you already have, in the order they should appear. About 20 to 30 scanned A4 pages stay readable under 2 MB.
- 02
Keep the 2 MB limit
It is already set. The tool builds the PDF, or compresses yours, until it is under 2 MB: about 1000 KB a page for two pages, 400 KB for five.
- 03
Download the PDF
Check the size shown, then upload it to your form.
Why this size
Why forms ask for a PDF under 2 MB
2 MB fits 20 to 30 scanned pages, so it suits long documents: bank statements, transcripts and visa supporting documents.
2 MB means 2,000 KB or 2,048 KB depending on who counts; the PDF made here stays under 2,000,000 bytes, so it passes both. A 10 MB scan usually comes under 2 MB by compressing only the photos of its pages. To check a size in KB, use the MB to KB converter.
| Size limit | Readable A4 pages |
|---|---|
| Under 1 MB | 10 to 15 |
| Under 2 MB (this page) | 20 to 30 |

How the tool works
Each image becomes one page of a PDF built in your browser, and a PDF you add keeps all its pages, in the order you add the files. With a size limit, the tool first compresses the photos inside the PDF, quality first and size second, while typed text, links and drawings stay as they are, so the text can still be selected. Only if that is not enough is each page drawn with pdf.js (Mozilla, Apache 2.0) and saved as an image, smaller pages before lower quality, until the whole file is under the limit. Nothing is uploaded. Everything happens in your browser; your images are never uploaded.
