Passport document upload
Compress PDFs for a Passport Application
Passport applications and renewals increasingly use online portals that accept document uploads, and scanned IDs or proofs can exceed the size limit. Clear, readable documents matter for approval.
While using the browser tool, your PDF is processed locally in your browser. Pick a target within the portal limit, then preview to confirm names, numbers, and dates remain clearly legible.
Typical rejection: “File exceeds the maximum size.”
