Compress PDF for Tax Filing

Tax portals cap uploads at 5-15MB. Compress your returns, W-2s, and receipts to fit — entirely in your browser.

Compress Tax PDF Now

No signup. Your tax documents stay in your browser — nothing uploaded.

Tax filing portals like IRS.gov, HMRC, TurboTax, and H&R Block enforce upload limits — typically 5-15MB per document. Scanned W-2s, 1099s, and receipts can easily exceed these limits. fileGOD compresses your tax filing PDFs to fit any portal limit while keeping all text readable. Processing runs entirely in your browser, so sensitive financial documents are never uploaded.

2

Compress to portal limit
