Government e-services often accept attachments only as PDFs under a small size limit. Drop your ID scans, certificates and photos of documents and PaperWingPDF makes one PDF that fits.
How to prepare a PDF for a government form
- Choose or drop your documents: PDFs and photos of documents both work.
- Check the size limit: 1 MB is already selected. Pick the limit your form shows if it differs.
- Put the files in order, then click Make upload-ready.
- Download the single PDF and upload it.
Why government uploads fail
Government portals for permits, tax, residency and other services usually set a size limit per attachment and often accept only PDF. Check the limit shown next to the upload field and choose it in the size list.
If it still won’t fit
- Turn colour scans into black and white: tick Black and white, or use Grayscale PDF first.
- Remove pages the form doesn’t need with Remove pages.
- Upload one document per field instead of combining everything.
- Rescan at 150–200 dpi instead of using a large colour photo.
Private by design
Passports, bank statements, transcripts and ID cards are exactly the documents you shouldn’t upload to an unknown website. PaperWingPDF does all the work in your browser, so nothing leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions
My portal says 5 MB. Can I choose that?
Yes. Pick 5 MB, or any other limit, in the size list before you click Make upload-ready.
Can I send a photo of a document?
Yes. Photos are placed on PDF pages and made smaller to fit. Tick Black and white to make text clearer and the file smaller.
