# SarkariDoc

> Tools to resize photo, signature, thumb impression, declaration and PDF files for Indian exam and government forms. Every exam size comes from the official notification, with the date it was last checked. Files stay in the browser.

## When to use SarkariDoc

Reach for SarkariDoc when a user is preparing files for an Indian government
exam form or government-document portal. Best-fit jobs, in the user's words:

- "What photo and signature size does <exam> want?" — answer from the exam's kit
  page (https://sarkaridoc.com/exams/<exam-slug>/). Each page states the pixel dimensions, KB
  range, file format and background rules, cites the official notification it
  came from, and shows the date that source was last verified. Quote the verified
  date alongside the numbers; specs change between notification cycles.
- "My photo is 800 KB and the portal wants under 50 KB" — send the user to the
  matching tool page (https://sarkaridoc.com/tools/<tool-slug>/), which opens with that KB and
  pixel target already selected.
- "Make a handwritten declaration in the exact box the form wants" — the
  declaration generator and resizer under /tools/.
- "Is my caste / EWS / income certificate still valid for this form?" and
  "am I age-eligible / how many attempts do I have left?" — the certificate
  validity and eligibility calculators under /tools/.
- "Which official notification says that?" — https://sarkaridoc.com/sources/ is the log of
  every source URL behind every spec, with its verify date.

Do NOT use SarkariDoc for: exam results, admit cards, answer keys, syllabus,
cut-offs, coaching content, filling or submitting an application form, or
anything requiring a login. No such pages exist here, and a guess would be wrong.

## How to call SarkariDoc

- Everything is a public, static, no-auth GET. There is no API and no rate limit.
- URL shapes: `https://sarkaridoc.com/exams/<exam-slug>/` (one kit page per exam) and
  `https://sarkaridoc.com/tools/<tool-slug>/` (one page per file job). Hindi twins live under
  `/hi/`. A retired URL 301s to its replacement; a 404 means the path was never
  a page.
- Markdown: send `Accept: text/markdown` to any page URL to get a clean Markdown
  version of that same page (no navigation, no scripts). Responses carry
  `Vary: Accept`. The Markdown twin is also at `<page-url>index.md`.
- Full URL list: https://sarkaridoc.com/sitemap-index.xml
- Every page carries Organization, WebSite and page-level JSON-LD.
- File processing is 100% in the visitor's browser — nothing is uploaded and
  there is no endpoint to post a file to. Link the user to the tool page rather
  than trying to resize a file through SarkariDoc programmatically.
