Image preset
Resize a document photo or scanned page for portals that limit upload dimensions and file size.
Add up to 25 images at once. Your images never leave your browser.
About this requirement
Certificate, ID proof, receipt, and marksheet portals often accept a document image around 800 x 1000 pixels with a maximum size near 200 KB. The priority is readable text, straight edges, and complete margins—not artistic cropping.
Capture the page flat and fully in frame, then crop out tables, bedspreads, or floor tiles around the document. Keep seals, signature blocks, and registration numbers inside the crop. After resizing, zoom in on the densest text and confirm it is still legible.
JPG is usually the right format for photographic scans. If the portal requires PDF instead of an image, use the Image to PDF tool after you have a clear page photo. Always read whether the site wants one combined PDF or separate page files.
Detailed guidance
Place the document on a contrasting flat surface. Align the camera parallel to the page to reduce keystone distortion. Use daylight or bright indoor light from the side to limit shine on laminated cards. Take the photo in the highest quality your phone allows before editing.
Include the full page border when the portal asks for the complete document. For cards, include all edges and corners. Do not crop through barcodes, QR codes, or perforated serial numbers. If one side is cut off, retake the photo instead of stretching the image.
Text suffers when compression is too strong. Aim for the largest file still under the KB limit. If small print becomes muddy, improve the source photo first—higher resolution and better focus help more than repeatedly compressing a soft image.
Process each page separately when the portal wants one image per page. When it wants a single PDF, prepare clear page images first, then combine them with the Image to PDF converter. Keep pages in order and oriented upright before converting.
Avoid direct flash on glossy or laminated documents. It creates white hotspots that hide text. Prefer even ambient light or bounce lighting.
Capture it in the correct orientation. If the portal expects portrait dimensions, you may need to place the landscape document within a taller frame only when instructions allow—otherwise follow the stated width and height exactly.
Yes unless the portal requires black and white. Color often preserves stamps and security features better. Convert to greyscale only when the instructions say so.
