SqueezePDFCompress PDF for a rental applicationfree & private
A rental application usually bundles your ID, recent payslips, and reference letters for a landlord or letting agent, and their online form often rejects anything too large. SqueezePDF trims each scanned document in your browser so it slips under the upload limit. Since you are sharing proof of income and identity, none of it is ever uploaded anywhere.

Getting tenancy documents under the limit
Add your PDF and this page opens on the Balanced quality preset (72 DPI), keeping the highest quality that still fits; look at the letting portal or agent's form and switch the target to the exact size they ask for. Applications come with a stack of files, so compress your ID, payslips, and references in turn and download each one. It all happens on your device and nothing is sent to a server, so your personal details stay with you.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a PDF for a rental application?+
Drop your document onto this page and it compresses to the target size in your browser. Set the target to match what the letting agent's form allows, then download the smaller PDF and upload it with the rest of your application.
What size should my rental documents be?+
Landlords and letting portals typically allow files somewhere in the low megabytes, but there is no universal rule. Check the exact limit stated on the application form you are filling in and set that figure as your target.
Can I compress several files, and is it private?+
Yes. Compress your ID, payslips, and reference letters one after another and download them all. Everything runs locally in your browser, so payslips and personal documents are never uploaded and never leave your device.
Will my payslips and ID stay readable?+
Yes. Text and vectors stay crisp and only embedded images are reduced, so a scanned payslip or ID card stays clear enough for a landlord or agent to verify.
Is it free and do I need to sign up?+
Yes, it is completely free with no account, no watermark, and no file limits, and it works offline once the page has loaded.
