Scholarship and university application portals are the strictest forms most people ever fill in. Caps are often low — sometimes a few hundred kilobytes per document — the portal tells you nothing about why a file failed, and the deadline does not move. Meanwhile the source material is a phone photo or a flatbed scan of a transcript, which is exactly the kind of image that falls apart if you compress it naively.\n\nThe trick is to treat each document on its own terms. A transcript or certificate needs legible small print, so keep resolution and reduce quality gently. A passport photo needs exact dimensions. A signed form just needs to be under the cap. Skwish handles all three in the same batch: resize to a target, compress with a live size readout, then export the accepted set as a ZIP. It runs in the browser, so sensitive academic and identity documents never get uploaded anywhere.
