Estimate Application Attachment Sizes Before Uploading — Free
Spot which attachment is likely to exceed a portal’s per-file size limit before exporting a high-resolution PDF. Keep the distinction between a forecast and the actual file properties.
The proof surface
Resume-fit tools judge content. This is a delivery preflight for attachment size, with explicit binary units and a per-file flag instead of content scoring.
Why the flat version breaks
Treating KiB as decimal kB
This estimate divides by 1024; convert the portal limit deliberately.
Rejecting by combined total
A per-file cap does not impose a combined cap.
Trusting an average over file properties
Final export overhead and images can change the size.
How to work the upload weighbridge
Determine whether the limit applies per attachment or to the whole application. This tool flags each row against a per-file MiB limit; it does not reinterpret a decimal MB label for you.
Export a few typical pages and estimate KiB per page from file properties. Image-heavy spreads and text pages differ, so keep unusual files separate rather than averaging the whole application.
The twelve-page sample at 600 KiB per page is about 7.03 MiB and exceeds a 5 MiB limit. The combined total is informational and is not used to reject small individual attachments.
Check actual bytes, readability, embedded fonts and required file type before submitting. Compression can damage diagrams; submit a permitted alternate format only if the portal accepts it.
What the upload weighbridge replaces
| Question | Before | Visible working |
|---|---|---|
| Treating KiB as decimal kB | This estimate divides by 1024; convert the portal limit deliberately. | Measure representative pages |
| Rejecting by combined total | A per-file cap does not impose a combined cap. | Read each file flag |
| Trusting an average over file properties | Final export overhead and images can change the size. | Verify the finished export |
A local arithmetic aid replaces hand calculation, not expert review. No paid AI service is needed.

FIRST-LOAD
Input is processed locally. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
This estimates file size only. It never reads or uploads an application and cannot confirm portal acceptance; check actual file properties and employer instructions.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the upload weighbridge: your file | pages | average KiB per page stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Go deeper: the companion app files the same reading as a meter band gauge
The article demo above runs without limits. The companion app keeps a local history, exports the rows as CSV, prints the upload weighbridge reading, and holds your drafts on this device — one free run, then $ 4 one-time for the layer that keeps filing.
The upload weighbridge reading is complete for free. The optional $4 layer adds print, row CSV and the last five local reading summaries; it does not add hidden answers. Checkout is not configured yet; the article demo remains unlimited.

What this is built on
- Method: The twelve-page sample at 600 KiB per page is about 7.03 MiB and exceeds a 5 MiB limit. The combined total is informational and is not used to reject small individual attachments.
- All sample records are invented examples. The app does not fetch measurements, policies, files or personal records.
- Google’s official pricing page, fetched 2026-09-27, lists free-tier access including AI Studio. Optional formatting only; limits and availability can change. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Never paste private records there.
Before: This estimate divides by 1024; convert the portal limit deliberately. After: the upload weighbridge shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.
Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this upload weighbridge, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a upload weighbridge. Return plain rows only: file | pages | average KiB per page. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: file | pages | average KiB per page. No AI response is executed as code.
