Project Title: Docly – Smart Document Formatter & Secure Vault (Web App with Payment Integration) Project Overview: We are building a modern web-based SaaS platform called Docly that helps users instantly format their documents (images, signatures, PDFs) to meet the exact requirements of online forms (government exams, job applications, passport forms, etc.). Additionally, the platform will offer a secure document vault where users can safely store and reuse their documents. The goal is to create a fast, simple, and highly reliable tool that reduces document rejection during form submissions. Core Concept: Upload a file → Select requirement → Download perfectly formatted file in seconds. Target Users: Students applying for exams (SSC, UPSC, etc.) Job applicants General users filling online forms Cyber cafes / service centers Features Required Phase 1 – Core Tools (No Login Required) 1. Image Resizer Tool (Primary Feature) Upload JPG / PNG Resize by: File size (KB control – e.g., 10KB to 500KB) Dimensions (width x height in pixels) Output formats: JPG PNG Maintain image quality as much as possible 2. Signature Tool Upload or draw signature Background removal (auto white/transparent) Resize to required size Export as PNG/JPG 3. PDF Compressor Upload PDF files Compress to smaller size (user selectable level) Maintain readability 4. Format Converter JPG → PNG PNG → JPG Image → PDF 5. Form Presets (Key Differentiator) Predefined templates such as: Passport photo Govt exam formats Admin should be able to add/edit presets Presets auto-apply: File size Dimensions Format 6. Instant Download No login required Process and download instantly Files auto-deleted after processing (important) Phase 2 – Secure User Portal (Paid) 7. User Authentication Email + OTP login Password-based login 8. Secure Document Vault Upload and store documents Folder system: Aadhaar PAN Certificates Download in required formats anytime Encrypted storage 9. Subscription & Payment Integration Plans: Monthly Yearly Payment gateway: Razorpay (India) Stripe (optional international) 10. User Dashboard View uploaded documents Manage files Track subscription Download history Technical Requirements Frontend: React.js (Next.js preferred) Fully responsive (mobile-first design) Backend: Node.js (Express) OR Python (FastAPI) File Processing: Image processing: Sharp / OpenCV PDF compression: Ghostscript or equivalent Database: MongoDB or PostgreSQL Storage: AWS S3 (with encryption enabled) Security: HTTPS (SSL certificate) AES-256 encryption for stored files Secure APIs (JWT authentication) Auto-delete files for non-logged users Basic rate limiting UI/UX Requirements Clean, minimal, modern UI Very simple 3-step flow: Upload Select format/preset Download Fast loading and processing (<5 seconds) Mobile-first design Admin Panel Add/edit form presets View users Monitor usage Manage subscriptions Performance Requirements Handle uploads up to 10MB Fast processing time Scalable architecture Deliverables Fully functional website (frontend + backend) Payment integration Admin panel Source code Deployment support (live server setup) Timeline Phase 1 (Core Tools): 2–3 weeks Phase 2 (Full Platform): 4–6 weeks Budget (Open to proposals – mention your quote with timeline) Ideal Developer Experience in SaaS platforms Strong experience in image/PDF processing Experience with secure file handling Payment gateway integration experience Notes Focus on performance and simplicity over heavy design The platform must be extremely easy to use Accuracy in file output is critical (must meet size/dimension requirements)
