# Compress PDF for upload portals.

Prepare a PDF for upload portals by compressing, cutting pages, and checking original vs output size before export.

If a portal rejects your PDF, BitePDF helps you reduce size, remove extra pages, and export a cleaner submission copy.

## Target

portal upload

## Example Result

- Original: 6.1 MB
- BitePDF output: 1.8 MB
- Saved: 70% smaller

## Why This Workflow Works

- Target upload limits like 1MB, 2MB, and 5MB
- Cut page ranges before export
- Add signature or approval text before downloading
- Checkout after seeing the prepared file

## How To Use It

1. Drop the PDF and choose a compression profile.
2. Remove pages that the portal does not need.
3. Export the finished copy when the output size is acceptable.

## Good For

- school portals
- HR systems
- visa portals
- reimbursement systems

## Questions

### Does BitePDF show the compression result before checkout?

Yes. BitePDF shows original size, output size, and saved percentage before you choose an export plan.

### Can I change compression strength?

Yes. The compression picker lets you choose Low, Medium, or High. Low favors quality, Medium balances quality and size, and High targets the smallest export.
