Why does my government PDF show a yellow question mark?

Indian government PDFs are digitally signed using certificates from NIC, eMudhra, or other CCA India licensed authorities. Adobe Acrobat and most PDF viewers don't include India's Root Certifying Authority (RCAI) in their default trusted certificate store. So even though the signature is completely valid and legally recognised under the Information Technology Act 2000, your PDF viewer shows a yellow question mark because it cannot automatically verify the issuer. Kagazo checks your PDF against the actual CCA India trust hierarchy and gives you a copy with a permanent green tick visible on any device.

Is my document safe? Do you store my PDF?

Your PDF is processed entirely in memory during verification. We never write your file to disk, never store it on our servers, and never share it with any third party. The file is deleted from memory immediately after verification is complete. You can also verify this by checking our open source backend code.

Which documents does Kagazo support?

Kagazo supports any PDF digitally signed under India's CCA certificate hierarchy. This includes e-Aadhaar, PAN card, DigiLocker documents, ITR-V, Form 16, and all state government certificates from Tamil Nadu e-District, AP and Telangana MeeSeva, Karnataka Nadakacheri and eJanma, Kerala Sevana portal, and more.

My Aadhaar PDF is password protected. Will it work?

Yes. Enter your Aadhaar password (first four letters of your name in capital letters followed by your birth year, for example RAMA1995) in the password field that appears after you upload your e-Aadhaar PDF. We decrypt it in memory, verify the signature, and return a verified copy.

What is the difference between "Signature Valid" and "Signature Unknown"?

Signature Valid means the document is genuinely issued by the government authority and has not been modified. Signature Unknown means your PDF viewer cannot verify the certificate chain — this is a viewer configuration issue, not a problem with your document. Signature Invalid means the document may have been tampered with or re-saved after signing.

Does this work on mobile?

Yes. Kagazo is fully mobile responsive and works on any Android or iOS browser. No app installation required. Simply open kagazo.in on your phone browser, upload your PDF and verify instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions (200KB Compressor)

Clear answers about compressing images to 200KB.

Why do government portals mandate 200KB for certificate uploads?

Government exam and recruitment portals (such as TNPSC, SSC, UPSC, and State PSCs) enforce strict 100KB–200KB limits on certificates, community papers, and marksheets. This guarantees readability while keeping server storage manageable for millions of applicants.

Will text on my certificate or marksheet stay readable at 200KB?

Yes. 200KB is generous for document photos. Kagazo uses adaptive unsharp masking and 4:4:4 color preservation to ensure small text, registration numbers, and official stamps remain sharp and legible.

Can I crop off messy desk backgrounds before compressing?

Yes! Open the "Crop & Edit Studio" on the page to freely frame, straighten, or crop out unwanted table or desk areas around your document with interactive handles.

Is this 200KB tool safe for confidential government documents?

100% secure. Processing is executed in your browser RAM using WebAssembly. Your documents are never uploaded to our servers, keeping your sensitive identity details completely private.
