Your daughter comes round on Sunday and offers to sort out four small jobs you have been putting off: a code for the club noticeboard, a scanned form that will not attach to an email, some wedding photos to shrink down, and an invoice for the mending you did for a neighbour. All four can be done from one website in an afternoon.
What are these four tools, in plain words?
A QR code is the small black and white square pattern you see on menus and posters. Point a phone camera at it and the phone opens a web page by itself, no typing needed. A PDF is simply a document file that looks the same on any computer, the kind a form usually arrives as. Jobbit's free tools cover four such jobs from one website: a QR code maker, a PDF shrinker, a photo resizer and an invoice writer. Each is a short form to fill in, not a blank box you must know how to talk to.
Which free tool is easiest?
| Job | What it does | What you type or attach |
|---|---|---|
| QR code maker | Makes a code that keeps working forever | Paste a web link, pick a style |
| PDF shrinker | Makes a large scanned file small enough to email | Attach the file, choose a size |
| Photo resizer | Shrinks and renames a whole folder of photos at once | Attach the photos, say what they are for |
| Invoice writer | Lays out a proper, numbered invoice | Type who it is for and the amount |
How to do it together in one afternoon
Sit down with whoever is helping and sign up once with an email address, no bank card involved. Pick the tool for today's job and fill in the short form, which mostly means choosing from a list rather than typing sentences. The finished file, whether it is a code, a smaller PDF, a folder of photos or an invoice, lands in a chat window a minute or two later. If it is not quite right, say so in plain words, such as "make it a bit bigger", and it is corrected without starting the whole job again.
What it costs (nothing) and what to watch out for
The free plan covers all four tools, with 100 credits a day and no bank card at any point. The one thing to watch is comfort, not money: you need a device connected to the internet, and the result appears online, so someone should be nearby the first time to help save or print it. The original guide this is based on is here: Jobbit's four free tools, explained in full. Jobbit itself is a British service you can try free.
