Free On-Device Tools for Everyday India: PDFs, Photos, Forms, Drafts and More

What can I do on IndiaDigital without signing up?

Most people arrive with one urgent job: a form that rejects a 3 MB photo, a PDF that is too big for a portal, an SMS that says the bank account will be blocked tonight. IndiaDigital is built for those moments. Every tool opens straight away, with no account, no email and no watermark on the result.

The tools are grouped by the job you are trying to finish. The table below is a quick map of the most used ones and what they are for.

Bina upload ke PDF compress kaise kare?

Open Compress PDF and choose your file. The work happens in your browser tab: the PDF is read from your disk, rebuilt in memory and handed back as a download. Nothing is sent to a server, so it also works on slow connections once the page has loaded.

  1. Note the size limit your portal states, for example 200 KB or 1 MB.
  2. Open Compress PDF and pick the file from your phone or computer.
  3. Choose a preset or enter a target size, then run it.
  4. Open the result and check that every page is readable, especially small print and stamps.
  5. Download it and check the file size in your file manager before uploading.

TipScanned PDFs shrink the most, because they are really photos of pages. A PDF made from Word is usually small already; if it is still large, it probably contains big images.

Online form ke liye photo aur signature ka size kaise kam kare?

Exam, job and scholarship portals ask for a photo and signature in a fixed range, such as 20 KB to 50 KB, sometimes with exact pixel dimensions. The Photo and signature size optimizer crops, resizes and then searches for the JPEG quality that lands just under your limit. For exact pixel sizes, use Application photos.

Our longer guide on reducing a photo to 20 KB or 50 KB explains KB, pixels, centimetres and DPI in plain words, which is where most people get stuck.

Is this SMS a scam? Check before you click

Fake KYC updates, electricity bill warnings, part-time job offers, UPI collect requests and digital arrest calls cost Indians a great deal of money every year. The Scam Checker reads the message you paste and points out the patterns fraudsters use: deadlines, look-alike links, requests for an OTP or PIN, and payment to a personal UPI ID. It explains each warning sign and tells you what to do next.

If money has already gone, do not wait. Call 1930 or report on cybercrime.gov.in, then call your bank. Our guide on what to do in the first hour after cyber fraud lists the exact steps.

RTI, rent agreement, affidavit: ready drafts in Hindi and English

The Ready drafts section turns a short form into a properly laid out document you can print or edit: a rent agreement, an RTI application, a general affidavit, a lost mobile complaint, a consumer complaint and many office letters. Each draft lists the official rules it relies on, such as the RTI fee and reply time, with the date we last checked them.

Drafts are a starting point, not legal advice. For anything disputed or high value, show the draft to a lawyer before you sign.

Sarkari yojana kaise pata kare ki main eligible hoon?

The scheme finder asks simple questions: your state, age, work, income range and family situation. It then lists central and state schemes that may fit, such as PM-KISAN, Ayushman Bharat and state schemes for women, each with the documents you need and the official link to apply. The final decision is always made by the department, and you never need to pay an agent.

Panchang, muhurat and kundli without an app

For families that follow the Hindu calendar, the panchang gives the tithi, nakshatra, Rahu kaal and choghadiya for your city. The muhurat pages list traditional dates for weddings and griha pravesh, and My Kundli draws a birth chart with the Vimshottari dasha. These are computed from planetary positions on your device and presented as traditional belief, not as predictions.

Do these tools work on a phone or a slow connection?

Yes. The pages are built to work on ordinary Android phones and older laptops. Because the processing happens on the device, a slow connection only affects how long the page takes to open, not how long your file takes. Very large files are limited by your phone’s memory, so a 300-page scanned PDF is easier on a computer.

Many tools keep working if your connection drops after the page has loaded. Read why IndiaDigital never uploads your files for how this works and how to check it yourself.

Frequently asked questions

Is IndiaDigital really free?

Yes. The tools, drafts, scheme finder, scam checker and panchang are free to use with no sign-up, no trial period and no watermark on what you download.

Do I need to create an account?

No. You open a tool and use it. Your theme and recently used tools are remembered in your own browser, not in an account on our servers.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. PDF, image and document tools process files inside your browser tab. The file contents, your typed text and the results are not sent to our servers. Read our privacy page for the full list of what does use the network.

Can I use these tools in Hindi?

Many are available in Hindi, including the scam checker, ready drafts, scheme finder, panchang and kundli. Look for the language menu at the top of the page or start at the Hindi hub.

Are the drafts and scheme results legally valid?

They are general information and editable formats. A rent agreement still needs the stamp duty and registration your state requires, and a scheme is approved only by the department that runs it.
