Every small trade hits the same four jobs sooner or later: a QR code for the van or the counter, a PDF that will not upload, a folder of phone photos to resize, and an invoice before the details slip your mind.
Three mistakes people make
Bookmarking four different websites
One site for the QR code, another for the PDF, a third for photos, a fourth for invoices. Each has its own sign-up and its own rules, and remembering which one you used last time is half the job.
Printing before checking the catch
Plenty of "free" QR sites hand you a code that quietly stops working once a trial ends, usually after the flyers are already printed.
Leaving the invoice until you have forgotten the details
Doing the sums from memory at the end of a long day is how invoices go out with the wrong VAT line, or do not go out at all.
The fix: one form, one place
Jobbit's free tools page puts all four jobs behind one login: a QR code generator, a PDF compressor, an image resizer and an invoice generator. Each is a short form, not a blank box, so you pick your choices, attach a file if there is one, and sign up once with an email address, no card. The result lands in a chat, so the next small job is one more sentence rather than a new website. Jobbit's own writeup of all four tools covers each form in more detail.
How the free tools stack up
| Job | The usual free site | Jobbit |
|---|---|---|
| QR code | Bitly and similar lead with codes that can stop after a trial | A static code that keeps working |
| Smallpdf allows two tasks a day | 100 daily credits cover several jobs | |
| Photos | TinyPNG takes 20 images at a time | A whole folder in one message |
| Invoice | Invoice Simple allows three free invoices a month | As many as the daily credits cover |
A plumber's Tuesday
Picture a plumber who has just finished a boiler service. He wants a QR code on the van, the gas safety certificate compressed for the landlord's portal, and an invoice before the parts list slips his mind. Four free sites means four sign-ups. On Jobbit it is three short forms in one account, and the invoice remembers his bank details from last time.
When to pay instead
If you are printing hundreds of codes for a big campaign and need to track scans, or you invoice fifty clients a month and want it tied to a proper ledger, a paid tool built for that single job earns its keep. For the everyday version of these four jobs, the free plan usually covers it.
