JPG to PDF Converter
Turn one or more photos into a single PDF, one image per page. Everything happens in your browser — your images are never uploaded anywhere.
When do you need images as a PDF?
Plenty of forms and portals insist on a PDF even when what you actually have is a photo: a snapped ID or diploma for a job application, receipts photographed for an expense claim, homework pages captured with a phone, or a batch of scanned pages saved as JPGs. Converting locally means your documents — often the most private files you own — never travel to a stranger's server just to change format.
"Fit to image" or A4/Letter?
Fit to image makes each PDF page exactly the size of the photo — nothing is scaled and there are no borders. That's the best choice when the PDF will only be viewed on screen. A4 or US Letter places each photo centered on a standard portrait page with a small margin, shrinking it to fit if needed — the right choice when someone will print the PDF or a form demands a standard page size.
| Situation | Best option |
|---|---|
| Upload to a portal, view on screen | Fit to image |
| Will be printed in Europe/Asia | A4 portrait |
| Will be printed in the US/Canada | US Letter portrait |
| Mixed photo shapes, want uniform pages | A4 or Letter |
How big will the PDF be — and what if it's too big?
The most common reason a conversion fails is not the conversion at all: it is an upload limit on the other end. Bundling photos into a PDF does not compress them, so the file lands at roughly the sum of the images plus a small overhead. Modern phone cameras make that add up fast.
| What you're converting | Typical source | Resulting PDF |
|---|---|---|
| 5 phone photos (12 MP) | ~3–5 MB each | ~15–25 MB |
| 10 phone photos | ~3–5 MB each | ~30–50 MB |
| 10 document photos, downscaled first | ~400 KB each | ~4 MB |
| 20 screenshots | ~200–500 KB each | ~4–10 MB |
Common ceilings to plan around: Gmail and most mail providers stop at 25 MB per message, and government or university upload forms are often far stricter at 2–10 MB. If your PDF is over the limit, shrink the images before converting rather than after — run them through the image compressor first, then come back here. A document photo compressed to around 400 KB is still comfortably readable, and ten of them fit inside almost any limit.
Photographing documents so they actually pass
Most rejected scans fail for the same handful of reasons, and all of them are fixed before you convert anything:
- Shoot flat, from directly above. An angled photo gives a trapezoid page that some processing systems reject outright and every human finds annoying.
- Use indirect daylight, not flash. Flash produces a bright blown-out spot in the middle of glossy paper — often exactly over the text that matters.
- Fill the frame, then crop tight. Cropping to the page edge removes the tabletop and cuts file size at the same time. The crop tool handles this in the browser.
- Check the order before converting. Files usually sort by name, not by the order you took them — a page 10 that lands between 1 and 2 is the classic result.
- Strip the metadata if you are sending it onward. Photos carry GPS coordinates and camera details; converting to PDF preserves the image, so remove it first with the EXIF remover if the document is going to a stranger.
Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded to your server?
No. The images are read and packed into the PDF entirely inside your browser — they never leave your device. Nothing is stored or transmitted.
Does converting reduce image quality?
No. JPG and PNG files are embedded into the PDF exactly as they are, byte for byte — no re-compression. WebP and other formats are first converted to PNG (lossless), so those keep their quality too.
Can I control the page order?
Yes. Each image becomes one page, in the order shown in the list. Use the ↑ and ↓ buttons to rearrange, and ✕ to remove an image before creating the PDF.
Is there a limit on the number of images?
No fixed limit, but everything runs in your browser's memory. Dozens of phone photos work fine; hundreds of very large images may be slow on older devices.
Can I convert a PDF back to images?
Not with this tool — it goes one way. To pull pages out of an existing PDF, try our Split PDF tool.
