JPG to PDF
Combine photos or scans into one PDF. Choose a standard page size with margins, or let each page match its image exactly.
How to use the JPG to PDF
- Drop in your images, or click to select several at once.
- Drag the rows to set the page order.
- Choose a page size — A4 with margins for documents, or "fit each page to its image" for photos — then press Create PDF.
Page size: fit or fixed?
Fit each page to its image makes every page exactly the pixel dimensions of its image. Nothing is cropped, nothing is letterboxed, and the file stays compact. This is the right choice for photo collections and anything that will only be viewed on screen.
A fixed size — A4, Letter and so on — gives every page identical dimensions with the image centred inside the margins. This is what you want for anything that will be printed, filed or submitted. Scanned receipts, forms and ID documents all belong here, because a document with consistent pages behaves predictably in a printer and a document management system.
Image quality is carried through unchanged
JPG images are embedded exactly as they are — the original compressed data is placed into the PDF without decoding and re-encoding. The image in the PDF is bit-for-bit the file you supplied, so there is no second round of lossy compression.
PNG images are embedded losslessly too, but they can make the PDF considerably larger, since PNG does not compress photographic content well. If you are combining photos and the file size matters, convert them to JPG first with the Image Compressor.
Only JPG and PNG can be embedded directly. WebP, HEIC, GIF and TIFF are not supported by the PDF format itself — convert those to JPG or PNG first.
Frequently asked questions
What image formats work?
JPG and PNG. These are the two raster formats PDF supports natively. For anything else — WebP, HEIC from an iPhone, GIF or TIFF — convert first using the WebP Converter or PNG to JPG.
Can I reorder the images?
Yes. Drag the rows in the list before creating the PDF. Pages are built top to bottom in the order shown.
Why is my PDF so large?
It contains the images at full resolution. Phone photos are several megabytes each. Compress or resize them first if the total matters — a 10-page PDF of unedited phone photos can easily exceed 40 MB.
Will the text in my scans be searchable?
No. Images placed in a PDF stay images. Making scanned text searchable requires OCR, which is a separate process.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The PDF is assembled in your browser and never leaves your device.
