JPG to PDF: why convert
Receipts, scanned forms, photos of documents and screenshots are easier to send, print and file as one PDF than as a pile of separate images. Add your images, put them in the order you want, and get a single PDF with one image per page. JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP are accepted. Phone photos are turned the right way up automatically, and each image keeps its full resolution. The PDF is built in your browser, so the images, which often show ID cards, payslips or medical papers, never leave your device.
How to convert JPG to PDF
- Drop your images in the box, or click to choose them. You can add more at any time.
- Use the arrows to set the page order, and choose page size and margin.
- Click Create PDF and download your file.
What changes when you convert
Page size
"Same as each image" makes every page exactly the size of its image, with nothing added. Choose A4 or US Letter when the PDF will be printed or submitted to an office that expects a standard page; each image is then scaled to fit the page without being stretched, and wide images get landscape pages.
Rotated phone photos
Phones store the camera orientation as a tag instead of turning the pixels. Many converters ignore the tag, so photos end up sideways in the PDF. This converter reads the tag and turns the image upright before adding it.
JPG and PNG keep their quality
JPG and PNG images are placed in the PDF as they are, without recompressing, so there is no extra quality loss. Other formats, and rotated photos, are redrawn and saved as high-quality JPG inside the PDF.
Transparency
Transparent parts of PNG images stay transparent in the PDF and show as white when printed. WebP and GIF images are flattened onto white.
File size
The PDF is about as large as the images together. Twenty 4 MB phone photos make an 80 MB PDF, which is too big for many email systems; shrink the photos first if you need a small file.
About the formats
JPG
JPG (or JPEG) is the most widely used image format for photos, supported by every camera, phone, browser and image editor. It uses lossy compression, which keeps files small at a small cost in quality.
- Best for photos; text and sharp lines can get blurry edges.
- No transparency: transparent areas become a solid colour.
- The quality setting trades file size against detail.
PDF (Portable Document Format) was created by Adobe in 1993 and has been an ISO standard since 2008. A PDF looks the same on every device, which is why it is used for contracts, invoices, forms, manuals and scanned documents.
- A page can hold text, vector graphics and images, each placed exactly.
- Scanned documents are usually one image per page.
- A PDF can be protected with a password that is needed to open or edit it.
Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded?
No. Your browser builds the PDF on your own device. Nothing is sent anywhere.
How many images can I add?
As many as your browser's memory allows. Around 100 phone photos, or 200 MB in total, normally works.
Can I change the order after adding the images?
Yes. Use the up and down arrows next to each image, or remove an image with the cross. The PDF pages follow the order of the list.
Can I make a PDF from PNG screenshots?
Yes. PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP work the same way as JPG, and you can mix them in one PDF.
