Image to PDF for government form uploads

Many application forms ask for a certificate, caste or domicile certificate, marksheet or experience letter as a PDF, often under a limit such as 200 KB or 500 KB. If you only have photos of the papers on your phone, choose them here, put the pages in order and set the KB limit printed in your notice. The tool places each image on its own page and lowers the image quality only as much as needed to fit. Everything happens on your phone or computer, so your documents are never uploaded to our server.

Page size

Choose one or more images to start. They stay on this device.

How to use it

  1. Photograph each page flat, in daylight, with all four corners visible, or use the scans you already have.
  2. Choose the images. You can choose several at once and add more later.
  3. Put the pages in order with the arrows, and remove any you do not need.
  4. Choose A4 for documents, enter the maximum KB from your notice, tap Make PDF and download the file.

How the KB limit is met

The tool first saves every page at high quality. If the PDF is over your limit, it tries lower JPEG quality settings, the same for every page, and keeps the best one that fits. Only when even low quality is too large does it also reduce the pixel size. Text on a document photo stays readable well below full quality, but a 10-page PDF under 100 KB will look rough; if your notice allows, upload large documents as separate files.

A4 or the image’s own size

A4 puts each image inside a small white margin on a standard A4 page, turned sideways for a landscape photo, so the PDF prints and views like a normal document. “Same as image” makes each page exactly the size of its image, with no margin. Portals check the file type and size, not the page size, so either works for an upload.

Frequently asked questions

Are my documents uploaded anywhere?

No. The PDF is made inside your browser. Your images do not leave your device, and they are gone when you close the page.

Which images can I use?

JPG and PNG work in every browser, and WebP in most. iPhone photos in HEIC open in Safari; if one does not open elsewhere, share it as “Most Compatible” first.

How many pages can one PDF have?

Up to 30 images, one per page. Each page is kept at most 2,000 pixels on its longest side, which is sharp enough to read and print.

The PDF is still over my KB limit. What can I do?

Remove pages that are not asked for, crop away the background before choosing the image, or split the document into two files if the form allows more than one upload.

Can I edit the text in the PDF?

No. Each page is a picture of the document, as a scan would be. Application portals accept this for certificates and marksheets.
