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.

How to prepare UK visa documents

Use Best Readability for bank statements and official letters where numbers must stay sharp.
Use Grayscale Scan for plain black-and-white documents to reduce size quickly.
Upload each document separately when the portal asks for individual files.
