Frequently asked questions

What size should NSP documents be?

The portal states a maximum for each upload field, and it varies by scheme and by year. Read it on the upload screen rather than trusting a figure quoted elsewhere.

Can I merge all my documents into one PDF for NSP?

Usually not. Each document has its own upload field, and merging is a common cause of rejection. Upload each document into the field it belongs to.

My income certificate scan is 5MB. Can it be compressed?

Yes. A single-page scan compresses dramatically because most of its size is photographic noise rather than detail.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Compression runs in your browser using your own device. The file never leaves it, which matters for identity documents, marksheets and financial records.

Is there a watermark, sign-up or limit?

None of the three. The tool is free, adds nothing to your document and does not require an account.

What NSP applications usually need

A National Scholarship Portal application generally asks for an income certificate, a caste or community certificate where applicable, a bank passbook or cancelled cheque, the previous year's marksheet and a student photograph. Most are scanned, and scans are large.

The limits are per document, and they are strict

NSP applies a size limit to each upload separately, and the accepted formats differ by field. The current figures are shown on the upload screen and in the portal's user manual for the scheme you are applying to. Use those, and enter the number in the target box below.

Why applications get rejected on documents

Rejections are more often about legibility and the wrong document in the wrong field than about size alone. Compress to the limit, then open the result and confirm the certificate number, the issuing authority and the date are all still readable before you submit.

Bank and income documents are sensitive

A passbook scan shows your account number. This tool never transmits it — compression runs entirely inside your browser, so the document stays on your device.
