## Answer

Visa portals often demand small colour scans. Use Target size below. Redact unnecessary IDs before sharing packs, and prefer readable quality over maximum shrink.

## Limits

- Blurry passport pages can cause refusals — preview after compress.
- Follow the embassy/consulate checklist exactly.

## FAQ

### What size for visa PDF uploads?

Whatever the form states — commonly hundreds of KB to a few MB per document.

### Is compression private?

On mypdf, yes — local only. The visa site is a separate upload.

### Multiple documents?

Compress each to the stated cap, or merge only if the portal allows one file.
