How to combine certificate images into one PDF

Prepare the certificate images first

Place each document on a flat surface with even lighting. Hold the camera directly above it so the page does not look slanted. Include all four edges, avoid shadows and reflections, and make sure names, dates, grades, serial numbers and seals are readable.

Combine the images step by step

1. Open the Image to PDF Converter.
2. Select the JPG or PNG files you want to include.
3. Arrange them in the requested order.
4. Choose a suitable page size and orientation.
5. Create and download the PDF.
6. Open it and compare every page with the source images.
7. Give it a clear filename such as Firstname-Lastname-Certificates.pdf.

Keep the final PDF within the limit

Phone-camera images can be several megabytes each. If the finished PDF is too large, compress the images before combining them. Do not make them so small that certificate text becomes unreadable. If a portal requests separate documents, do not combine them merely for convenience.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Putting pages in the wrong order.
• Mixing sideways and upright scans.
• Cropping away signatures, seals or document edges.
• Including duplicate or unrelated pages.
• Submitting without checking the downloaded PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Can I combine JPG and PNG files together?

Yes. Each selected image becomes a page in the finished PDF.

Should I use portrait or landscape?

Use the orientation that best matches the source documents. Most certificates are portrait, but some are landscape.

Are the images uploaded?

The conversion is designed to happen locally in your browser. For sensitive records, avoid shared devices and remove downloaded copies when finished.
