JPG to PDF: Turn Images into a PDF

Put one photo or a whole set into a single PDF. Add JPG, PNG, WebP, and other common images, arrange them in order, and download one file where each image is a page. Your photos are not uploaded anywhere.

How to convert JPG images to PDF

  1. 1Add your images. Drop photos onto the box or tap to choose them. You can add more in several goes.
  2. 2Arrange the pages. Use the arrows to put the images in order. The top image becomes page 1. Remove any with the cross.
  3. 3Create the PDF. Tap Create PDF, then download. Each image becomes one page.

What the PDF looks like

Each page is exactly the size and shape of its image, with no white border and no stretching. A portrait phone photo becomes a tall page and a landscape photo a wide one, so nothing is cropped or squeezed to fit A4.

Images are placed at full resolution. That keeps text in photographed documents sharp enough to read when zoomed in, but it also means a PDF of ten phone photos can be 20 MB or more.

Keeping the file size small

Most upload forms limit PDFs to between 1 and 10 MB, and some to as little as 200 KB. If the finished PDF is over the limit, Compress PDF can bring it under a size you choose. Resize Image helps too when photos are much larger than they need to be, for example 4000 pixels wide for a receipt.

Photographing documents? Use Scan to PDF

If you are photographing paper, such as a signed form, receipts, or notes, Scan to PDF is a better fit. It opens your phone camera and lets you crop each page to the edges of the paper before the PDF is made, so you do not end up with bits of desk around every page.

Common uses

  • Combining photos of receipts into one file for an expense claim
  • Sending ID card, passport, or certificate photos as a single PDF attachment
  • Turning screenshots into a document for a bug report or a record of a conversation
  • Making a simple portfolio or photo handout that opens on any device

Can the text in the PDF be searched?

No. Each page is a picture, so you cannot select or search the words in it. If you need the text, run the original image through Image to Text to copy out the words, or keep the photos and the recognised text side by side.

Frequently asked questions

Which image formats can I use?

JPG and PNG work directly. WebP, GIF, BMP, and most other images your browser can open are converted automatically.

Can I mix JPG and PNG images in one PDF?

Yes. Add them all to the list in any combination.

Can I make every page A4?

Not currently. Each page matches its image so nothing is stretched or cropped.

Is there a limit on the number of images?

There is no fixed limit, though each image can be up to 20 MB and very large sets may be slow on older phones.

Are transparent PNG areas kept?

Transparent areas appear as they would in a PDF viewer, which is usually white.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The PDF is created in your browser, which matters for photos of IDs and personal documents.
