Guides

Step-by-step articles written for Tokitool’s own tools, not scraped how-tos. Each guide explains a real workflow on this site (export PDF, compress for a form, passport sizing, QR payloads, passwords, privacy checks) so you can finish the job without guessing.

How these guides relate to the tools

Tokitool’s tools are intentionally small. The guides sit next to them so you get export steps, size tables, and privacy checks without stuffing every edge case into the tool UI. Start with the article when you are unsure which menu WhatsApp shows, which passport millimetres apply, or whether a “private” converter is actually uploading your file.

Size and type hubs are separate from the long-form guides: use them when you already know the job and need a country, kilobyte target, or QR payload type quickly.

Guides FAQ

Are these guides official WhatsApp or government docs?

No. They explain Tokitool workflows and commonly published sizes. Menu names and rules change; confirm with WhatsApp, Passport Seva, GOV.UK, or your issuing authority when it matters.

Which guide should I read for WhatsApp to PDF?

Start with How to export a WhatsApp chat to PDF, then use the iPhone/Android hubs under /whatsapp-chat-to-pdf if you only need device steps.

Where do I find India or US passport photo sizes?

Open Passport photo sizes by country, then the India or United States page. Use Passport Photo Resizer for the crop.

Do guides require an account?

No. Guides and tools are free to read and use without signing up.
