JPG to PDF
Turn images into a PDF document.
How to use JPG to PDF
Add one or more images (JPG, PNG or WEBP).
Drag them into the order you want in the PDF.
Choose the page size, orientation and margin.
Click Convert to PDF and download the document.
Why anyone asks for images as a PDF
Because the person receiving them asked for a document. Photographs of your passport, ID, receipts, certificates or a signed page are images on your device but paperwork to whoever needs them, and most submission systems accept exactly one PDF.
PDF also fixes the two problems a folder of photos has: order and orientation. Twelve JPGs arrive sorted however the recipient's computer feels like sorting them, and each one may be rotated differently. One PDF has one sequence and one orientation per page, decided by you.
Getting a usable page rather than a photo on paper
The most common failure is a phone photo dropped straight into a PDF: shot at an angle, half in shadow, with a desk visible around the edges. It converts fine and looks amateurish, and for anything official it gets rejected.
Shoot the page flat, from directly above, in even daylight rather than under a ceiling light that casts your own shadow across it. Crop to the paper edges before converting. If your phone has a document scanner mode, use it — it corrects perspective and flattens the lighting automatically, and the difference is dramatic.
- Directly overhead, not at an angle, so the page is a rectangle rather than a trapezium.
- Daylight from the side; never a flash straight at a glossy page.
- Crop to the paper before converting, so the page is the page.
- Portrait photos on portrait pages — mixing orientations is what makes a PDF look thrown together.
Page size, orientation and margins
A4 with a small margin is the right default almost everywhere outside North America, where Letter is. Fit-to-page scales each image to fill the page while keeping its proportions, which is what you want for scanned documents. Actual size keeps physical dimensions, which matters when something must print at a specific scale.
Where images have different aspect ratios, expect white space — that is the correct outcome. Stretching a photo to fill the page distorts it, and a distorted ID photo is worse than a bordered one.
Keeping documents off other people's servers
Every step runs inside your browser, using the WebAssembly and Canvas APIs your device already ships with. No file is uploaded, no copy is kept, and nothing sits in a queue on a server waiting to be deleted — which is also why the tool keeps working with the network disconnected.
The images people convert to PDF are overwhelmingly identity documents and financial paperwork — precisely the material that should never be uploaded to a free service in exchange for a download link. Here the photos are read from disk by your browser and the PDF is assembled in memory on your machine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which image formats are supported?
JPG, PNG and WEBP. Each image is placed on its own page, scaled to fit the page you choose.
Can I combine photos of a document into one PDF?
Yes — add the photos in order, pick A4 or Letter, and every photo becomes one page of the resulting PDF.
Do my photos get uploaded?
No. The PDF is built in your browser, so your images stay on your device.
Can I combine several images into one PDF?
Yes — add them all, drag to set the order, and each becomes one page of a single document. That is the most common reason people use this tool.
Does converting reduce the image quality?
The image data is embedded as-is, so no quality is lost in the conversion. If you choose to compress, that is a separate, optional step.
What image formats can I convert?
JPG, PNG and WEBP directly. HEIC from an iPhone needs converting to JPG first, which the HEIC to JPG tool does in one step.
How do I control the page order?
Drag the thumbnails before converting. The output follows that order exactly, regardless of filenames or the order you selected them in.
Why is my PDF so large?
Because modern phone photos are 3-8 MB each and ten of them make a 50 MB document. Run the result through Compress PDF, which typically cuts it by two thirds with no visible change on screen.
Can I do this on my phone?
Yes. It works in mobile browsers, and converting straight from your camera roll is the fastest route from a photographed document to a submittable PDF.
