What this does
SubmitReady looks for the smallest amount of image compression needed to bring your PDF under 2 MB, preserving as much quality as possible along the way.
When you need it
2 MB is a common cap for email attachments and for portals slightly more generous than the typical 1 MB limit — useful for multi-page reports, portfolios, or contracts with a handful of images.
What if 2 MB isn't reachable?
If the document genuinely can't fit under 2 MB without becoming hard to read, we tell you clearly and provide the best result we could honestly produce.

All compression happens on your device. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
