Why This Matters for Indian Government Portals
Government exam portals in India have very strict file size requirements. Every uploaded file is checked automatically — if your photo, signature or PDF is even 1KB over the limit, the portal rejects it without explanation. Millions of applications are rejected every year for this reason alone.
PDF Vault was built specifically to solve this problem. Every tool on this site targets the exact requirements of Indian government portals — SSC, UPSC, Railway, Passport Seva, PAN card, and more.
