About This Tool

Every UK tenancy starts with document tennis: passport scans, share codes, bank statements batted between tenant and letting agent, each email provider capping attachments around 25MB and agency portals far less. Phone scans of passports come out enormous — one file can block the whole application. This tool compresses ID scans and statements to email-friendly sizes in your browser, keeping every detail legible for the agent reviewing your file.

Frequently Asked Questions

What documents do I need for a Right to Rent check?

A passport or biometric residence permit plus, in some cases, a Home Office share code and proof of address. Scan each, compress under a few megabytes, and send one tidy email instead of five bounced ones.

Why do letting agents reject my scans?

Almost always size: phone scans run 8-15MB each and agency inboxes or portals choke. Compressing each document to 1-2MB resolves the vast majority of rejections.

Is it safe to email passport scans?

Email is never perfectly secure — but processing them in a browser tool at least avoids uploading your ID to a third-party server first. Compress locally, then send directly to the verified agent address.
