SqueezePDFCompress PDF for a visa applicationfree & private
Visa portals bundle a lot into one form: passport bio page, bank statements, sponsor letters and photographs, each with its own size cap. SqueezePDF shrinks every file right here in your browser so scanned pages fit without you re-scanning at a lower quality. Nothing is uploaded, so your passport and financial details stay on your device.

Fitting each visa document under the cap
This page opens on the Balanced quality preset (72 DPI), but check your embassy or VFS upload screen and switch to Target size and pick the exact figure it states before you compress. Scanned bank statements and passport pages downsample the most while text stays legible, and you can run several PDFs through one after another and download them all. Every file is processed locally in your browser and never leaves your computer.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a PDF for a visa application?+
Drop your passport scan, bank statement or invitation letter onto SqueezePDF, pick the size your portal allows, and it downsamples the file in your browser. Save the smaller PDF and repeat for each supporting document.
What file size do visa portals usually allow?+
Limits vary by country and system, but per-file caps commonly fall somewhere between 200 KB and 2 MB. Do not trust a general figure; use the exact limit printed on your own upload page and switch to Target size and pick.
Can I compress passport and bank documents privately?+
Yes. Compression runs entirely in your browser, so passports, statements and photos are never uploaded. You can process every document in the set locally, one after another.
Will my scanned documents still be readable?+
Text and vector content stay sharp; only embedded images are reduced, so a scanned passport or statement often shrinks 70 to 95 percent while remaining clearly legible for a consular officer.
Is it free and do I need an account?+
It is completely free with no sign-up, no watermark and no file limits. You can compress as many visa documents as you need without creating an account.
