Your files never leave your device
Source: IMT exchange-platform user manual (in Portuguese, version V.5, 28/05/2026): imt-ip.pt. It states that documents must be uploaded as PDF, maximum 2 MB, one document per file upload. Checked 25 Sep 2026.
Choose or drag your images JPG, PNG or WEBP · add several (for example front and back) and reorder them afterwards

If you choose a limit, we lower quality and page size only as much as needed to meet it.

What IMT asks for, according to the manual

The full list of documents (for example certificates and translations, depending on your case) is on the IMT website and in the manual above.

How to prepare each PDF

  1. Photograph the front and back of the document in good light with all four corners visible.
  2. Choose both images above and order them (front first).
  3. The limit is already set to 2 MB. Click Create PDF.
  4. Repeat for the other document and upload each PDF in its own field.

For text-only documents the black and white option shrinks the file a lot. For a driving licence with a photo, leave colour on.

Frequently asked questions

Are my documents uploaded to a server?

No. Everything happens on your phone or computer.

Do front and back go in the same PDF?

Yes: each document is one PDF with both pages. The IMT manual asks for front and back of the identity document and of the licence.

The PDF is still over 2 MB. Now what?

The tool warns you when it cannot meet the limit without making the text unreadable. Try black and white, or photograph at a lower resolution.

Does this replace the IMT instructions?

No. It is only technical help with file size. Always follow the instructions on the IMT platform.
