A free browser-based toolkit for resizing, compressing, flattening, and checking PDFs and images against upload requirements.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

UploadFixer separates common upload failures into four concrete operations: PDF size targeting, requirement checking, form flattening, and image normalization. Its guides preserve the practical edge cases behind those operations, including HEIC and Display P3 phone photos, XFA PDFs, and the stated 12 MB USCIS file cap. The site says processing happens locally in the browser, while its requirements directory is presented as a source-linked reference rather than a government service.
