Why portals ask for PDFs under 2 MB

A 2 MB cap turns up constantly on visa applications, embassy appointment portals, and government upload forms. The reason is rarely about storage — it's that many of these systems run on older infrastructure with a hard per-file limit and reject anything larger without a useful error message. Some portals go tighter still, down to 500 KB or 200 KB for specific documents, so it's worth reading the form's fine print before you compress.

The documents people upload here are usually scans — passport pages, bank statements, photographs — which are image-heavy and therefore very compressible. fits. downsamples those images while preserving the detail an officer needs to read names, numbers, and faces. Critically, your scan never leaves your browser, which matters more for an identity document than for an ordinary attachment.

Common questions (3)
Why do visa and embassy portals require PDFs under 2 MB?
Many consular and government systems run on legacy infrastructure with strict per-file upload limits. 2 MB is a common ceiling — sometimes lower (500 KB, 100 KB) for specific forms.
Will my passport scan stay readable after compression?
Yes. fits. uses downsampling settings that preserve facial features and text fields. Manual verification by an officer is unaffected.
Is it safe to compress sensitive documents like a passport or ID?
Yes — the entire compression happens in your browser. Your scan never reaches our servers or any third party. The "0 bytes of your file uploaded" indicator is verifiable in your Network tab.
