This JPG to PDF converter puts your images into a single PDF, one image per page, on your own device. Drag the rows to change the order, or use the arrow buttons on a phone, then choose the page size, orientation and margin and press Create PDF. The PDF downloads straight away and is named after the image if there is only one, or images.pdf if there are several.
How to convert JPG to PDF
- Drop images on the box or tap it to choose them. JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and AVIF files are accepted.
- Put the pages in order. The number at the start of each row is its page number.
- Under Page Setup, choose the Page size, Orientation and Margin.
- Press Create PDF. A message shows the page count and file size, with a Download again link if the first download was blocked.
Page setup options
- Page size: A4 (210 × 297 mm), US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), or Same as each image, so a photo fills its page exactly.
- Orientation: Match each image turns a page sideways for a wide photo, or you can set every page to Portrait or turn every page sideways.
- Margin: None, Small (18 points, about 6 mm) or Large (42 points, about 15 mm). Small is the default, and Large leaves room for hole punching or binding.
Each image is scaled to fit inside the margins and centred on its page, without cropping and without stretching. For example, a 4032 × 3024 phone photo on A4 with Match each image and a small margin goes on a sideways page and is printed about 263 × 197 mm, filling the page from top to bottom margin.
Same as each image counts 96 pixels as one inch, so that same photo makes a page of 42 × 31.5 inches. That is fine for viewing on screen, and a printer set to fit the page will scale it down.
Image quality
JPG files go into the PDF byte for byte, with no recompression, so the pages are as sharp as the original photos. Phone photos often store their rotation as a setting in the file instead of in the pixels. The converter reads that setting and turns the page content to match, so photos come out upright without being re-encoded. The rare photo stored as a mirror image is redrawn instead. PNG images are added without loss. WebP, GIF and other formats are converted to high-quality JPEG first (quality 92), on a white background, and an animated GIF contributes its first frame.
Images to PDF: common uses
Typical jobs are sending photos of receipts as one expense claim, uploading scanned ID pages to a form that asks for a single PDF, and submitting photos of handwritten homework. Because the PDF is made on your device, scans of documents such as passports and bank statements are never uploaded.
For printing, A4 is the usual paper size outside North America and US Letter is the usual size in the United States and Canada. Pick the size your printer uses so the pages print without being scaled.
To turn a photo to PDF on a phone, open this page in the phone's browser, tap the drop area and pick photos from the gallery. The PDF is saved to the phone's downloads.
Limits to know
- The PDF is about as large as the images together. Portals that cap uploads at a few hundred KB need smaller photos: shrink them first with the Image Resizer or the Image Compressor. The guide to getting an image under 200 KB lists typical limits.
- The text in scanned pages is not made searchable or selectable.
- iPhone HEIC photos need converting first with the HEIC to JPG converter. The page tells you if you add one.
- To add more pages to an existing PDF, make a PDF of the images here and combine the two with Merge PDF.
