Overview

Job portals want PDFs under tight size limits with consistent formatting. This hub focuses on the document side of applications: exporting Word drafts, compressing uploads, merging resume + cover letter + references, and signing offer letters when needed.

Draft content in Resume tools (Free AI Resume Builder and Cover Letter Generator), then Word to PDF for a stable layout. Compress PDF or Compress PDF to KB when a portal rejects your file. Merge PDF combines separate attachments into one upload. Profile Picture Maker and related image tools live under Image tools—use them before you refresh LinkedIn.

Open the Apply for a job workflow for the full checklist: photo, resume, cover letter, word count, and final compression. Job application photo package covers headshot + resume when you are not ready for the cover letter step.
