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.

Why Direct Image-to-PDF Conversion Beats Ordinary PDF Compressors

Standard Tools (2-Step Nightmare)

Candidates first convert photo to a 2 MB PDF, then use a second compressor tool which either fails or drops the file to a blurry 70 KB with illegible roll numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions (Image to PDF under 300KB)

Everything you need to know about converting photos to 300 KB PDFs.

Which exams require certificate PDFs under 300 KB?

Several State Public Service Commissions (such as BPSC, MPSC, RPSC, KPSC, WBPSC), High Court clerk and judicial recruitment portals, and central universities mandate caste certificates, educational marksheets, and domicile proofs to be uploaded as PDFs under 300 KB.

Can I combine Front and Back pages into a single 300 KB PDF?

Yes! Upload both Front and Back photos of your diploma or degree certificate. Kagazo combines them into a multi-page A4 PDF while ensuring the combined file size stays strictly below 300 KB.

Will text and stamps remain clear after compression to 300 KB?

300 KB allows even higher visual resolution than 200 KB. Kagazo preserves high-contrast text edges, university seals, and signatures with crisp readability.

Is this conversion safe and private?

Yes. Conversion happens in ephemeral volatile memory (RAM). Files are never written to server disk or kept in any database.
