Preparing Documents for Job Applications
Make sure your resume, photo, and certificates are ready for online job portals.
Common job application file requirements
Job portals often ask for a profile photo, a resume, and supporting documents. Typical requirements include: file size under 500 KB, image format JPG or PNG, and specific photo dimensions such as 35 × 45 mm.
Always check the specific instructions on the job portal, because requirements vary between countries and employers.
Recommended workflow
1. Take or scan your documents at a high resolution.
2. Use the File Compliance Checker to verify your files meet the requirements.
3. Use the Image Resizer to adjust photo dimensions.
4. Use the Image Compressor to reduce file size.
5. Use the Image to PDF tool if the portal requires PDF format.
6. Use the Metadata Remover to remove GPS or camera information before uploading.
Final tips
Save your final files with clear, simple filenames without spaces or special characters. For example, 'profile_photo.jpg' is better than 'My Photo (2).jpg'.
Review your uploaded documents before submitting. Some portals cannot be edited after submission.
