About This Tool

USCIS online accounts cap each uploaded file — typically 12MB per document — and immigration cases run on bundles: birth certificates, marriage evidence, tax transcripts, medical exams. One oversized scan blocks the whole submission. This tool compresses evidence PDFs to fit USCIS limits while keeping stamps, seals, and handwriting legible, all without uploading sensitive immigration paperwork anywhere.

How It Works

Drag and drop or browse to select your PDF file. Files are processed locally and never leave your device.

Choose Compression Level

Pick Low, Medium, or High compression. Higher levels produce smaller files while keeping text and layout readable.
