Submitted my visa the other day and had feedback to send additional forms as expected.

Been asked to send all the pictures of my passport.

However, as a passport has many pages I have to compress and I’m struggling to get the large file size down to 3mb.

Does anyone know how I can fix this ?

I’ve tried everything.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is looking for solutions to compress multiple pages of their passport into a single file under 3MB, as required for their visa application. Various community members suggest methods including using online tools like Tiny JPG and iLovePDF for compression and merging, creating a PowerPoint to convert images to PDF, or using a PDF scanner app. Additionally, there are discussions regarding whether documents can be sent via email to the embassy.

I used a website called "Tiny JPG" to compress the size of pictures and another website called "ilovepdf" to help merge and compress any other documents.

I had the same issue. I provided pages with stamp in medium resolution. The rest in low resolution. Then merge and send.

Get a pdf scanner app and scab every page. You can just reply to their email and send it in.
