Reduce upload failures by compressing large PDF documents, splitting multi-page files, or converting PDF pages into JPG images for exam and government forms.
How PDF Compression Works
Compression optimizes the PDF by shrinking embedded images, discarding unused metadata, and simplifying page objects while preserving text clarity and document structure.
When to compress
- Submitted file exceeds portal size limits.
- You need to email or upload certificates quickly.
- The PDF contains high-resolution scan images.
Merge and Split PDF Files
Combining multiple PDF pages into one document is useful for multi-page mark sheets or experience letters. Splitting a PDF helps extract individual certificate pages for single-field uploads.
Process PDFs entirely in the browser
Open the PDF tool to compress, split, or convert files locally without any server-side upload.

PDF to JPG Conversion Use Cases
- Portals that only accept image uploads instead of PDFs.
- Creating a clean photo of a marksheet page for a single upload field.
- Turning a scanned certificate into an image for easier preview and cropping.
For exact image format guidance, see the Image Format Guide.
