Question 1

Why do government portals ask for documents in PDF format?

Accepted Answer

PDF is the standard format for document portals because it preserves page layout, is universally readable, and cannot be easily edited. State government portals, court filings, scholarship portals, and CSC centres all require multi-document PDFs.

Question 2

What documents can I convert to PDF for form submission?

Accepted Answer

Any scanned or photographed documents: Aadhar card, PAN card, marksheets, certificates, income certificate, caste certificate, domicile certificate, birth certificate, employment letter. Photograph each document clearly and convert here.

Question 3

How do I scan documents with my phone for conversion?

Accepted Answer

Use Microsoft Lens (free) or CamScanner. Open the app, select "Document" mode, photograph each page. The app auto-crops and adjusts perspective. Save as JPEG for each page, then combine here into a single PDF.

Question 4

What is the maximum PDF size accepted by government portals?

Accepted Answer

Most government portals accept PDFs between 1MB–5MB. IBPS allows up to 1MB PDFs. Central government scholarship portals allow 5MB. Compress individual JPEGs to 200KB each before converting to stay within limits.

Question 5

Can I add a cover page or title to the PDF?

Accepted Answer

Our JPG to PDF tool creates a multi-page PDF from your images. For a cover page, create a plain document image with the title and add it as the first image in the sequence.

Question 6

Does this tool work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once the page loads in your browser, the PDF conversion process uses PDF.js / browser APIs and does not require an active internet connection. Your files are never uploaded to any server.
