About Listo para Subir
The tool was built after ordinary PDF compressors made official filing documents too blurry to review.
Why it exists
While preparing two Colombia work-visa applications, the document package exceeded the portal allowance. A general-purpose compressor reduced the size but also damaged fine details in an apostilled diploma. Another page was left sideways. The application required corrected documents.
What is different
Listo para Subir considers the complete package, preserves native text, avoids making a file larger and warns when a source scan is already weak. It is designed around whether a human reviewer can still read the result.
How privacy works
The site is static. PDF and image processing runs in your browser with open-source libraries hosted on this domain. There is no application server or user database receiving selected documents.
Who built it
Maxime Jean created the site after encountering the problem while supporting foreign employees in Bogotá. The project is independent and is not affiliated with the Colombian government or another authority.
Limitations
The guides describe practical filing issues and cite official sources when requirements are stated. They are not legal or immigration advice. Read the editorial policy for verification and correction standards.
