Batch processing multiple worker documents

Drop all files at once, apply the MOHRE preset, then download everything as a ZIP. Each file is individually compressed under 500 KB.

Tip: Flatbed scan at 150 DPI typically produces a JPEG well under 500 KB without extra compression.

What if my document is a PDF?

Use PDF Merge & Split to extract pages, or Images to PDF if you need to combine scans — then compress each JPEG under 500 KB.

Worker passport photo requirements

Worker photos must be under 200 KB JPEG with a white background. Use Passport Studio to crop and resize before compressing.
