Online courses, professional development programs, and industry certifications frequently deliver completion certificates as PNG or JPG images — not PDFs. When you want to attach a certificate to your LinkedIn profile, include it in a job application, or share it with an employer, a PDF is almost always the more professional and universally accepted format.
Here's how to convert any certificate image to PDF using QuickyDesk's free Convert tool.
Download Your Certificate as an Image First
Most certificate providers offer a download button that saves the certificate as a JPG or PNG. If the certificate only displays as a web page, take a full-page screenshot and save it as PNG. Ensure the full certificate is visible — no cropping, no missing text.
Converting a Certificate Image to PDF
Step 1: Open the Convert Tool
Navigate to QuickyDesk's Convert tool and select Image to PDF mode.
Step 2: Upload the Certificate Image
Upload the JPG or PNG certificate file. For multiple certificates, upload all images at once to create a combined credentials PDF.
Step 3: Convert and Download
Download the PDF. Name it clearly: GoogleAnalytics4_Certification_JohnSmith_2026.pdf
Step 4: Add to LinkedIn or Application
On LinkedIn: navigate to the relevant Experience or Education section → click the pencil to edit → scroll to Media → Add Media → upload the certificate PDF. Or post it as a Featured document on your profile.

Convert Images to PDF →Combining Multiple Certificates
If you've completed several courses or certifications, convert each certificate to PDF individually, then use QuickyDesk's Merge PDF tool to combine them into one organized credentials PDF. This is cleaner for attaching to applications than multiple individual files.
