About This Tool
EU Blue Card applications run on consulate and immigration portals with strict per-file caps — commonly 5-10MB — while degree certificates, employment contracts, and passport scans arrive as bloated multi-megabyte files. One oversized upload blocks the submission and costs weeks. This tool compresses every application document to portal-friendly sizes in your browser, keeping seals, signatures, and fine print legible for the caseworker.

Frequently Asked Questions
What documents does the EU Blue Card need?
Typically a recognised degree (often with apostille), an employment contract meeting the salary threshold, passport scans, and sometimes Anabin printouts. Compress each under the portal cap before attaching.
Will compression blur apostille stamps?
Check stamps at full zoom after compressing — Medium preserves them in nearly all cases. Use High only if a portal still rejects the file.
Can I merge my application into one file?
Some portals want single uploads per category, others one bundle. Compress each document first, then merge per the portal instructions with a free PDF merger.
