Check and crop your original photo
Keep the entire required subject visible. Remove unwanted background without cutting off text, signatures or facial details.

Prepare your photos and PDFs for an online application.
Many application portals ask for separate images, a single document PDF, or specific file-size limits. Use this sequence to prepare clear files and check them before submission—without assuming every portal has identical rules.
Resize to the portal's pixel requirements
Set the specific width or height stated by the form. Keep an original copy; compression and resizing are not interchangeable.
Open free tool →Convert photos into PDF pages
Place legible JPEG images into a PDF. This does not turn photographs into editable or searchable text.
Open free tool →Merge documents in the right order
Combine your application pages and attachments only if the portal requests a single PDF. Confirm page order after download.
Open free tool →Check whether PDF compression helps
Structural compression may reduce size, but cannot guarantee any particular KB target or fix a blurry scan.
Open free tool →Prepare a passport-photo sheet
Arrange multiple copies on a page if the application specifically needs a printable photo sheet; check your exact photo dimensions.
Open free tool →Example: one supporting-document PDF
You have a one-page cover note, a two-page mark sheet and three certificate pages. If you combine all six pages in the intended order, the result should be a six-page PDF. Open the output and compare its first and last pages with the originals before submitting.
Final checklist before upload
- Confirm the application portal's permitted formats, file-size maximum, naming rules and photograph dimensions.
- Open every downloaded output and check that text, dates, names and signatures remain readable.
- If the document is digitally signed, check whether altering it invalidates the signature.
- Use the official portal for actual submission. CraftAI does not submit the form or validate eligibility.
For official applications, the receiving organisation's instructions take priority over any general tutorial.
