If your document is only slightly larger than the limit that Turnitin allows, try saving it as a PDF, as this will automatically reduce the file size.

If your document is not uploading into Blackboard Assignment there is a 500mb limit, this can occur if using audio and images, try compressing your images.

Compressing Images

The example below shows how to compress your images in a Word document but this is the same for PowerPoint too. 

In any Microsoft file containing a number of large images, we recommend that you compress them to avoid assignment upload issues.  

• We recommend that you create a copy of your original file before compressing, and always check the quality of images after you have reduced the file size.
• Try compressing images at the point of pasting into your document or this can be actioned after as needed:

1. Select an image - there will be a box around it and the ribbon across the top will change into Picture Format mode.
2. Click the option 'Compress Pictures' (Ribbon - Adjust section)
3. In the Compress Pictures pop-up window... You can then choose an output size. If your original document is very large you might need to check the E-mail option to significantly reduce your file size.

Check the quality of your pictures, ensuring all content is still accessible in the compressed document and ​save​ again.
