About compressing to this size
1 MB is a common cap on job portals and a safe size for email. Ten or more photographed pages usually fit at good quality.
How it stays under 1 MB: the tool builds the PDF, checks its size, and if it is too big it lowers the image resolution and JPEG quality step by step, keeping the best-looking version that fits. Pages keep the same layout either way, so the document still looks like the original.
Tips: photograph documents flat, in daylight, and crop the edges before adding them — clean images shrink much better. If several pages can’t reach 1 MB, remove pages you don’t need or split them into two uploads.
Need a different limit? 100 KB · 200 KB · 300 KB · 500 KB — or type any number into “Max PDF size” above. Already have a PDF that is too big? Use Compress PDF to 1 MB.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert JPG to PDF under 1 MB?
Add your photos above, put them in order and click “Create PDF”. The limit is already 1 MB, so the PDF you download stays under it.
Can I combine several photos into one PDF?
Yes. Add as many as you need; each photo becomes one page, in the order shown. Use the ↑ button to reorder.
What if it can’t get under 1 MB?
You’ll get the smallest possible PDF and a note. Use fewer photos, crop them, or split the document into two files.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The PDF is made in your browser — your documents never leave your device.
