Frequently asked questions
What file size does HMRC accept?
HMRC typically accepts files up to 5MB per document, but some portals and forms have lower limits. Our tool compresses to under 2MB to ensure compatibility with all HMRC upload portals, including Self Assessment, VAT returns, and Corporation Tax.
Can I compress photos of receipts?
Yes! Take photos of receipts with your phone, then drop them here to compress. The quality is maintained well enough for HMRC's requirements — text remains legible while file sizes are significantly reduced.
Is this secure for tax documents?
Your documents never leave your device. All processing happens in your browser — no files are uploaded to any server. This is the most secure and private way to compress documents for HMRC.
What formats can I compress?
We support JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and BMP images. These cover photos taken on phones, scanned documents, and screenshots. If you have PDF documents, you'll need to convert them to images first or use a dedicated PDF compressor.
