Job portals often allow one attachment of up to 2 MB. Drop your CV, degree certificates and other documents and PaperWingPDF makes a single PDF that fits.
How to prepare documents for a job application
- Choose or drop your documents: PDFs and photos of documents both work.
- Check the size limit: 2 MB is already selected. Pick the limit your form shows if it differs.
- Put the files in order, then click Make upload-ready.
- Download the single PDF and upload it.
Why job portal uploads fail
Recruitment systems commonly limit uploads to 2 MB or 5 MB and prefer PDF. Scanned certificates are usually the reason a file is too big. Before applying, use the CV & resume checker to make sure the software can read your CV.
If it still won’t fit
- Turn colour scans into black and white: tick Black and white, or use Grayscale PDF first.
- Remove pages the form doesn’t need with Remove pages.
- Upload one document per field instead of combining everything.
- Rescan at 150–200 dpi instead of using a large colour photo.
Private by design
Passports, bank statements, transcripts and ID cards are exactly the documents you shouldn’t upload to an unknown website. PaperWingPDF does all the work in your browser, so nothing leaves your device.
Why PaperWingPDF
- Private by design
- No queues, no waiting
- Chain your tools
- Works offline, installs as an app
Frequently asked questions
Should my CV be in the same file as my certificates?
Only if the portal has one upload field. Put your CV first so it is read first.
Will hiring software still read my CV?
Yes, as long as your CV page keeps its text. Pages are turned into images only if nothing else fits the limit; choose a larger limit if the result tells you that happened.
