Why 2MB Is the Magic Number
A huge share of upload forms β visa portals, university applications, job boards, court e-filing β silently reject anything over 2 MB. A scanned passport or a few photographed pages sail past that limit easily, and you're left staring at an error with no idea how much to cut. This page is tuned for exactly that: it targets 2 MB and gets your file under it.
Done Locally, Which Matters for 2MB Uploads
The documents people squeeze under a 2 MB cap are usually the sensitive ones β IDs, bank statements, signed forms. Here the compression runs entirely in your browser, so the file you're about to upload to an official portal isn't first uploaded to ours. It's set to a 2 MB target out of the box; change the number if your portal's limit is different.
