JPG to PDF Converter

Combine your certificates, mark sheets and ID proofs into a single PDF, in the order you choose. Set a target file size if the portal caps uploads.

Nothing is uploaded. The PDF is assembled inside your own browser, so your documents never leave your device.

Why you need this

Government recruitment portals increasingly ask for documents as a single PDF rather than separate images — one file for all your educational certificates, another for your category certificate, and so on. Phones produce JPGs, so the conversion has to happen somewhere. Doing it here avoids uploading your certificates to an unknown website, which matters when the file contains your date of birth, your parents’ names and your photograph.

How to use this tool

1. Choose your images, or drag them in. Add as many as you need.
2. Put them in the right order with the arrows — the order shown is the page order in the PDF.
3. Pick a page size. A4 suits most portals; “Fit each image” makes each page exactly the size of its image.
4. If the portal caps the upload, enter that figure in KB and the images are compressed to fit.
5. Create the PDF. It downloads straight to your device.

Getting the order right

Verification officers work through documents in the order the notification lists them, and a PDF that jumps around wastes their time and yours. The usual sequence is matriculation certificate first, because that is the document your date of birth is taken from, then intermediate, then graduation and any higher qualification, then category or relaxation certificates, then experience certificates.

Where a notification states an order, follow that instead. It overrides the general convention.

Scanning tips that make a real difference

• Photograph documents flat and square on. A page shot at an angle can be unreadable once compressed, and there is no fixing it afterwards.
• Use daylight rather than flash. Flash creates a hotspot that usually lands on the text.
• Include the whole page. A certificate with a cut-off corner or a missing seal is treated as incomplete.
• Check it is readable at the size you upload. Compressing to hit a small KB target can blur the fine print, including the registration numbers officers actually check.
• Never edit the content of a document. Adjusting brightness is fine. Anything beyond that is forgery, and it ends a candidature.

Keeping the file size down

If the PDF is over the limit, the effective options in order are: remove any page the notification does not actually require, photograph the documents again at a lower camera resolution, then set a target KB figure here. Lowering quality is the last of those because it is the one that can make a document unreadable.

Always open the finished PDF and look at it before uploading. It takes ten seconds and it is the only way to know the compression has not destroyed something important.

A note on privacy

Most free conversion websites upload your files to their servers, process them there and delete them at some later point you have to take on trust. Your certificates carry enough personal information to be useful to someone committing identity fraud. This tool does the work in your browser, which is why it keeps working even if your connection drops after the page has loaded.
