Indian students and freelancers live inside PDFs: admit cards, Form 16, rent receipts for HRA, GST invoices, client NDAs, and exam portal size caps. Uploading Aadhaar or bank statements to a random converter is a bad default. These nine SortMyFile tools stay private (browser-local), free forever, and uncapped.
1. Compress PDF for exam and university portals
Many portals demand 100KB–200KB photo or document uploads. Use Compress PDF with target KB mode, then verify readability before the deadline.
2. Rent receipt generator for HRA claims
Draft monthly rent receipts in the browser for employer HRA paperwork. Confirm final requirements with your CA — the tool is a draft helper, not tax advice.
3. Merge PDF for KYC and onboarding packs
Combine PAN, address proof, and forms into one attachment without uploading identity documents to a third-party merger.
4. OCR PDF for Hindi-English mixed scans
Free on-device OCR helps searchable English typed scans. Degraded Hindi/Indic and handwriting are harder — Pro OCR Pack is the planned upgrade path.
5. Passport photo maker and image compress
Crop to ID sizes and shrink images for portals that reject multi-megabyte phone photos.
6. Salary slip and GST invoice drafts
Generate draft slips and GST-style invoices locally for freelancers who need a quick PDF today. Validate compliance with a professional when stakes are high.
7. Protect PDF before sharing with clients
Password-lock proposals or invoices before email. Unlock only with a password you control.
8. Sign PDF for simple acceptance forms
Self-stamp a signature on one-party forms. For multi-party contracts with audit trails, wait for Pro send-for-signature or use a dedicated e-sign product.
9. Redact PDF before sharing screenshots of KYC
Black-box and flatten Aadhaar numbers or account digits before you send a “help me debug” screenshot to a client or forum.
How unlimited free tools fit Indian money constraints
Adobe-class subscriptions are hard to justify for occasional form season. SortMyFile keeps the daily tools free forever. Pro is reserved for GST extraction, batch, and Office conversion — features people already pay Indian SaaS tools for.
