About GovtTools

Last updated: 13 November 2026

GovtTools is an independent website run by the GovtTools team in India. We build free tools that help applicants prepare photographs, signatures and documents for online government exam and recruitment forms.

Why we built GovtTools

Every year millions of applicants lose time — and sometimes a deadline — because a portal rejects a photo that is 60 KB instead of 50 KB, or a signature with the wrong pixel size. Many end up paying a cyber café for a two-minute job, or upload private documents to unknown websites.

We wanted a single place that does these jobs properly, explains the rules in plain English and Hindi, and never takes your files away from your device.

What we offer

  • Photo and signature resizers that hit exact KB and pixel limits
  • Exam Ready: both files prepared for a chosen exam in one step
  • A list of photo and signature rules for 30 central and state exams, each with its source
  • Passport photo sheets, a signature cleaner and background removal
  • Eight PDF tools: compress, resize, merge, split, page manager, JPG to PDF, PDF to JPG and passwords
  • A printable submission checklist that checks your files before you apply

How we keep your files private

All image and PDF processing runs inside your web browser using your device's own processor. Your photos, signatures and documents are not uploaded to our servers, so we cannot see, store or share them.

How we keep exam rules accurate

Each exam shows where its numbers come from: an official notice, exam-preparation websites (marked unverified), or a note to check the notice yourself. Notices change with every recruitment, so we always link to the official website and ask you to confirm before submitting. If you spot an outdated rule, use the Report outdated rule button and we will check it against the official notice.

Independence

GovtTools is not a government website and is not affiliated with UPSC, SSC, IBPS, RRB, any public service commission, recruitment board or ministry. Exam names are used only to describe which rules a tool applies.
