How to Use the Driving License Resizing Tool

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to use the Driving License Resizing Tool at indocuments.com/DL.php to prepare your photograph, signature, and document for a driving license application. The free, user-friendly tool automatically resizes and compresses files to meet Sarathi Parivahan portal requirements (e.g., W: 413 px x H: 531 px for photos, W: 256 px x H: 64 px for signatures, JPEG, <20 KB; A4 PDF for documents, <500 KB). No software installation is required, and files are processed securely in your browser, automatically deleted after 1 hour.

• A valid photograph, signature, and document file (e.g., JPG, JPEG, PNG, or PDF).
• A device with internet access (mobile or PC).

Tips for Best Results

• File Quality: Use a clear, high-resolution image or document to avoid pixelation.
• Photo Guidelines: Use a recent, color passport-size photo with a plain white, light gray, or cream background. Avoid glare on glasses, shadows, or flashy clothing.
• Signature Guidelines: Upload a scanned, handwritten signature (not digital text) on a white background.
• Document Guidelines: Ensure the document file size is within 500 KB after compression, as displayed in the preview.
• Verification: Confirm portal requirements (e.g., W: 413 px x H: 531 px for photos, W: 256 px x H: 64 px for signatures, <20 KB, JPEG; A4 PDF for documents, <500 KB) before uploading.
• Browser: Use modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) for the best experience.
