PDF, JPG, PNG — files never leave your browser
100% client-side. Your files are processed entirely in your browser and are never uploaded to any server. We cannot see, access, or store your documents.
Why IRCC Has a 4 MB File Size Limit
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) limits individual document uploads to 4 MB through their online portals and web forms. This applies to all document types including passport scans, bank statements, employment letters, police certificates, and educational credential assessments.
High-resolution scans commonly exceed this limit. A single passport scan at 300 DPI can be 5-8 MB. Bank statements with multiple pages often reach 10-15 MB. When IRCC requires these documents as part of an immigration application, consultants and applicants need to compress them before uploading.
How This Tool Works
This tool runs entirely in your web browser using client-side PDF processing. When you drop files onto the tool, they are processed locally on your device. At no point are your documents uploaded to any server — not ours, not anyone else's.
- Merge — Combine multiple PDFs and image scans (JPG, PNG) into a single document. Useful when IRCC requires all pages of a document in one file.
- Compress — Reduce file size through intelligent rasterization. Choose your target size (2 MB, 4 MB, 8 MB, or 10 MB) and the tool adjusts quality to fit.
- Download — Get a single, submission-ready PDF that meets IRCC's size requirements.
Common IRCC Documents That Need Compression
Privacy and Security
Immigration documents contain highly sensitive personal information — passport numbers, financial records, medical data. That is why this tool processes everything in your browser. Your files are never transmitted over the internet during processing.
This is the same client-side approach used in the full Immicase platform, where document tools are built in alongside case management, IRCC form auto-fill, and a complete practice management suite.
