University Portal Upload Caps

University portals frequently enforce strict upload size limits (e.g., 10MB or 25MB). Dissertations packed with high-resolution microscopy images or survey charts often exceed these caps.

How to Safely Shrink Your Thesis:

- Upload your final compiled manuscript to Compress PDF. - Select Recommended Compression to shrink image data while keeping charts clear. - Re-verify your file size before submitting to Turnitin or Canvas.
