To convert JPG to PDF, drop your images into the box above, drag the cards into the order you want, and select Generate PDF. Each image becomes one page, A4 with a 10 mm margin by default. The PDF is built in your browser and downloads straight away, so your photos are never uploaded.
How to convert JPG to PDF
- Add your images. Drag JPG or PNG files onto the drop area, or select Select Images. Use Add More Images to bring in more later.
- Put them in order. Drag the cards to reorder pages, or use Sort by Name or Reverse Order. The rotate buttons on each card turn an image 90 degrees, and unticked images are left out.
- Choose page settings. Pick a Page Size, Orientation (Auto matches each image) and Fit Mode. Set the Page Margin in millimeters, pixels or points.
- Generate. Select Generate PDF. The file downloads with the name in Output File Name.
Which formats can you convert to PDF?
You can convert image to PDF here from JPG and PNG, the two formats almost every camera, phone and scanner app saves. Other formats your browser can display, such as WebP, GIF and BMP, work too.
| Format | How it's handled |
|---|---|
| JPG / JPEG | Works as is. Re-saved at the JPEG Quality setting (88% by default) |
| PNG | Works as is. Kept as PNG, with transparency |
| WebP, GIF, BMP | Works as is. Converted to JPG, or to PNG if the image has transparent areas. GIFs use their first frame |
| HEIC (iPhone) | Most browsers can't open it. Convert it with HEIC to JPG first |
Leave Image Compression on Auto Smart for a mix of formats. Keep PNG / Transparency stores every page as PNG, which keeps screenshots sharp but makes photo pages much larger.
How to combine images into one PDF in the right order
Pages follow the order of the cards, left to right and top to bottom. The number in each card's corner is its page number.
- Numbered files: Sort by Name understands numbers, so scan-2.jpg comes before scan-10.jpg.
- Leave some out: untick a card and it stays in the list but is skipped. Remove Selected deletes every ticked card, and all cards start ticked, so select Clear Selection first, then tick the ones to delete.
You can add up to 300 images or 800 MB in one batch. Very large batches take longer on phones, since every image is processed on the device. To join the result with other PDFs later, use Merge PDF.
Page size, fit mode and file size
- Documents and receipts: A4 or Letter, Contain, 10 mm margin. The whole image shows, centered, with a border of page background around it.
- Photos to share: Match Each Image with a margin of 0. Every page takes the shape of its photo, with no white bands.
- Cover fills the page edge to edge and trims whatever sticks out. Stretch fills it too, but squashes the image out of shape.
- Square pages are 800 x 800 points, a little over 28 cm per side.
Each full-size phone photo can add several megabytes to the PDF. Lowering JPEG Quality to around 70% shrinks JPG pages a lot with little visible change. For a strict email limit, run the finished file through Compress PDF.
How to convert an image to PDF on iPhone, Mac or Windows
Your device has a built-in option for a quick photo to PDF job. The image to PDF converter above gives you more control over page size, order and margins.
iPhone and iPad
Save the photos to the Files app, open the folder, tap the three-dot menu and choose Select. Pick the images, tap the three-dot button at the bottom right, and choose Create PDF.
Mac
Select the images in Finder, Control-click them and choose Quick Actions › Create PDF.
Windows
Open a photo in the Photos app, press Ctrl+P, choose Microsoft Print to PDF as the printer, and select Print. It works, but page size and margins are harder to control than in a dedicated JPG to PDF converter.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert multiple JPGs into one PDF?
Select all the images at once in the file picker, or drag them onto the drop area together. Put them in order, then select Generate PDF. Every ticked image becomes one page of the same PDF.
Can I convert PNG to PDF?
Yes. PNG files work the same way as JPGs. With Image Compression on Auto Smart, they're kept as PNG, so screenshots stay sharp and transparent areas show the page background.
Is this JPG to PDF converter free?
Yes. There's no sign-up and no watermark. You can combine up to 300 images per PDF.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The PDF is built with JavaScript in your browser. Your images stay on your device and are cleared when you close the tab.
Why does my image look cropped in the PDF?
Fit Mode is probably set to Cover, which fills the page and trims the edges. Switch it to Contain to show the whole image.
Can I turn a PDF back into JPG images?
Yes. Use the PDF to JPG converter to save each page as a JPG or PNG image.
