Compress PDF for University Submission

University portals cap uploads at 2-20MB. Compress your thesis, assignment, or application PDF to fit.

No signup. Documents processed in your browser — nothing uploaded.

University submission portals — Turnitin, Blackboard, Canvas, Moodle, and application systems — enforce strict file size limits, typically 2MB to 20MB. Thesis documents with charts, images, and appendices often exceed these limits. fileGOD compresses your academic PDF to fit any portal while preserving all text, citations, and formatting. Processing runs entirely in your browser. Graduate theses with embedded high-resolution figures, data visualizations, and appendices routinely reach 50-100MB — far exceeding even the most generous portal limits. Application documents like transcripts, recommendation letters, and personal statements also need compression when scanned at high DPI. fileGOD handles all of these without affecting academic formatting or citation integrity.

Why fileGOD for University Submissions?

University Portal Limits

Turnitin: 100MB. Blackboard: varies (often 10MB). Canvas: 500MB. Moodle: varies (often 2-20MB). Application portals: typically 2-5MB.

Preserves Academic Formatting

Citations, footnotes, headers, page numbers, and table of contents remain intact after compression.

Chart & Figure Quality

Charts and figures are resampled intelligently. Text in figures stays readable even after compression.

Handles Large Theses

100+ page theses with embedded images compress dramatically. A 50MB thesis can often reach under 5MB.

100% Client-Side

Your research stays private. Academic work is processed in your browser — never uploaded to any third party.

Deadline-Friendly Speed

Compression takes seconds, even for 100+ page theses. No upload queue, no waiting — compress and submit immediately before the portal closes.
