Edit =>Thank you all.After scan, can reduce 3mb

How can I provide all the passport pages with the required date, but keep the file size within the 3 MB limit?

When I take photos, the total size becomes around 60 MB, and even after compression it is still about 20 MB.

Do you have any advice on how to reduce the file size further?

Hi! I just got a request to add some documents to my application: all the pages of my current + previous passport (i recently renewed it because all the pages of the previous one where full).

I have been trying now for 3 hours to merge all the scans in a PDF that is less than 3MB and it looks impossible.

Please help me if you know how to do this! I am desperate.

ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi all, I'm applying for the DTV and struggling with the 3MB file limit. I already downsized some of my files on the initial application, and they came back with 'please check document quality' comment. But there's no way I can add the requested 6 months banking history in good quality within 3MB.

What would you advise in this case?

Edit: I already compressed some of them to the smallest size using Photoshop on my initial application, but in the following request for additional info they wrote "Check your document quality". So I'm confused. How about sending the large pdfs to the embassy by email? Or by google drive and add a link in the PDF?
