# Compress NZ tenancy ID and income documents for email, free

Open the tenancy document scan, choose PDF or JPG and set Maximum size to an available step at or below the property manager’s limit. Download and check the required identity or income details. A 1 MB target is an editing choice, not a New Zealand tenancy rule.

Dokus keeps your NZ identity documents and prepared sharing copies together on your iPhone. 4.8 out of 5 stars [Free on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/nz/app/dokus-private-id-wallet/id6781915709)

## Shrink the attachment your property manager requested

1. Open the licence, passport, payslip or bank-statement scan, up to 25 MB. Use Document for a full page rather than a card preset.
2. Choose PDF when the recipient wants a document attachment. Set Maximum size to an available step within their stated ceiling.
3. Wait for Copy size and inspect the preview. The compressor reduces JPEG quality before lowering resolution and reports when the target cannot be reached.
4. Download and reopen every page. Check identity details on a licence or passport, or the name, period and income entries on financial evidence.

Available targets run from 100 KB to 5 MB, with No limit also available. Here 1 MB is 1,000,000 bytes. There is no universal tenancy upload limit: use the agency's actual instructions.

## Keep the rental evidence useful

Consumer Protection lists ID and income evidence among things to prepare for renting. Avoid sending a larger financial history than the check needs. For a bank statement, [hide unrelated transactions](https://dokus.app/en-nz/redact-passport-driver-licence/) before checking the final attachment size.

Do not delete a required page to hit a target. Crop blank background, use a clearer scan or ask for a larger permitted file if small print becomes unreadable.

## One existing PDF, rather than a merged evidence pack

This tool compresses one existing PDF. It does not merge separate payslip, bank and ID files into a dossier. For the two sides of one licence, first [make an A4 tenancy PDF](https://dokus.app/en-nz/passport-driver-licence-to-pdf/). Share a digitally signed financial document in its original form when its signature matters.

## Files, privacy and originals

Open JPG, PNG, supported HEIC or PDF up to 25 MB. Only the first ten PDF pages are used; prepare the required page range before opening a longer file. HEIC availability depends on your browser. Processing stays on your device, with no document upload or account, and camera metadata is removed from the copy.

The exported PDF contains images of its pages. Selectable text, digital signatures and interactive fields are not preserved. Keep the complete original separately and inspect the saved copy before sending.

## Common questions

### Must a New Zealand tenancy attachment be under 1 MB?

No national limit is established here. Use the property manager's stated limit; 1 MB is simply one available target.

### Can I make a rental bank statement smaller after redacting it?

Yes. Save the redacted copy, open that saved file here and check its final size and legibility. Keep the full original separately.

### Can this combine a payslip and passport into one PDF?

No. It compresses one existing file. Combining the front and back of a single card is available through the PDF converter.
