Turn JPG and PNG photos into one PDF under a size cap

Combine phone photos of a document into one PDF in this tab, then compress it under a portal limit such as 200 KB or 300 KB per page.

Phone photos of paper

A certificate photographed on a desk is a JPG of several megabytes. Many Indian forms want a PDF, and they want it small: 200 KB on NSP, 300 KB per page for PAN scans, 50–300 KB for UPSC documents. This page makes the PDF. Compress PDF then aims at the number.

Drop JPG, PNG, or WebP files in the order the pages should read. They become pages of one PDF in this tab. The photos are not uploaded. The PDF is not yet small — a camera original embedded in a PDF is still huge. Open Compress PDF on the download and pick the cap the form printed.

Passport Seva’s photo specification we are willing to repeat is a JPEG under 250 KB at 630×810 pixels, not a PDF. Do not send that portrait through this tool and expect it to become the passport photo. Use it for document pages.

  1. Photograph the document in even light, crop the table, and prefer grayscale if the form allows.
  2. Drop the images in order. Download the PDF.
  3. Compress to 200 KB, 300 KB per page, or the UPSC band, depending on the portal.
  4. Check the file size on your phone before you submit.

Frequently asked questions

How do I turn a JPG into a PDF without uploading it?

Drop the images on Images to PDF. The PDF is built in this tab. Compress it afterward if the portal has a size cap.

Will the PDF already be under 200 KB?

No. Camera photos stay large until you compress. Use the 200 KB target, PAN’s per-page mode, or the UPSC band on Compress PDF.

Can I use this for a Passport Seva photo?

Passport Seva’s photo spec is a JPEG under 250 KB at 630×810 pixels. This tool makes a PDF of document pages. It is the wrong tool for that portrait JPEG.

Are the photos uploaded?

No. They are read in this browser tab.
