Make a file fit an upload limit.
Prepare a supported file for a form, portal or website by working toward the size limit you actually have to meet.
Make a supported file fit an upload limit for a form, portal or website. Enter the size you actually have to meet. Timamu works toward that target and keeps your original untouched.

Why uploads get rejected
Portals reject files for more than size. A form may want JPG only, a PDF under a page count, or a name without spaces. Read the requirements first and list them: format, maximum size, and any dimension or page rule. Timamu handles format and size. It cannot certify any particular website.
Steps to prepare a file for upload
- Write down the portal's format and size rule.
- Choose the file in Timamu Web. A HEIC photo can become JPEG in the same job.
- Use Reach Target and enter the size, with a margin of a few percent.
- Download the copy, rename it if the portal requires, and upload.
Common upload cases
- Photo for an application: JPEG under the stated size.
- Scanned certificates: a PDF under a per-file cap, often 2 MB.
- Short video for a form: an exact target size is Premium; Free uses the Free video allowance.
- Several files for one submission: combine them with Merge PDF or pack them as a ZIP if allowed.
Before you upload
- Rename the prepared copy with plain letters, numbers and hyphens if the portal is strict about names.
- Open the copy once to confirm it looks right.
- Keep the original in case the portal asks for a smaller version later.
Questions
What if the portal wants JPG but my photo is HEIC?
Choose the HEIC in Timamu Web and select JPEG as the output. The copy is a JPEG you can upload.
Will the portal definitely accept it?
Timamu cannot promise that. It makes the file valid and close to your size limit; the portal's other rules still apply.
Which file types can I prepare?
Images, HEIC photos, PDFs and video such as MP4, MOV and HEVC.
Can I upload a ZIP instead of many files?
Only if the portal allows archives. Many forms accept single files only, so read the requirements before packing anything.
