UK visa documents
Compress a PDF for a UK Visa
UK visa applications and the commercial partners that handle document uploads enforce file size limits. Scanned bank statements, passports, and sponsor letters often exceed them, blocking your submission.
While using the browser tool, your PDF is processed locally in your browser. Pick a target within the upload limit, then preview supporting documents so figures, names, and dates remain clearly legible.
