Applying for an Australian visa, Indian government job, or Canadian residency often hits a roadblock: 'File too large'. Government portals have notoriously strict upload limits, often capping files at 5MB or even 500KB. If your scanned passport is 10MB, you are stuck.

The Balance: Size vs. Quality

You cannot just make it a tiny pixelated blur. The officer must be able to read the text. Our Smart Compression Tool reduces file size by optimizing the internal structure of the PDF and downsampling images only as much as necessary.

Remove Encryption!

Critical Tip: Many government portals auto-reject password-protected or encrypted files. Even if you know the password, their system does not. Always use Unlock PDF to remove protections before uploading.
