Compressing passport & visa scans safely

Passport and visa documents are the single most sensitive thing most people are ever asked to upload, and the portals that demand them often impose tight size limits at the same time — commonly under 2 MB, sometimes 500 KB or 200 KB. That combination pushes people toward random online compressors, which is exactly where an identity document shouldn't go.

fits. resolves both halves of the problem at once: it compresses the scan to the portal's ceiling, and it does so without the file ever leaving your browser. Downsampling is tuned to keep facial features and machine-readable text intact, so a consular officer can still verify the document. Check the specific portal's stated limit and pick the matching chip — or use Custom for an exact number.

Common questions (4)
What size should a passport PDF be for visa portals?
Most visa portals require under 2 MB; some go down to 500 KB or even 200 KB. Check the specific portal’s requirements before choosing a chip.
Is it safe to upload my passport scan to a compressor?
With fits. you’re not uploading anywhere — the compression happens in your browser. Your passport scan never reaches our servers or any third party.
Will my passport photo still be recognizable after compression?
Yes. We downsample with quality settings that preserve facial features and text. Consular officers will be able to read and verify the document.
What if the portal also requires JPG, not PDF?
fits. is PDF-only for now. For images, consider Squoosh (also browser-based) — same privacy guarantees, different tool.
