JPG to PDF

How it works

Drop in your photos, then use the arrows to put them in order. Each photo becomes one page. Choose a page size — or keep each page the same shape as its photo — then press Make PDF and save the result. iPhone photos work too.

Turning photos into a PDF

A PDF is the safest way to send several pictures as one document. This page lets you drop in photos or scans, put them in order, choose the page size and quality, and save a single PDF. It accepts JPG, PNG, WebP and iPhone HEIC pictures, so you do not have to convert them first.

Choosing page size and quality

Choose A4 or Letter for documents you will print or send to an office. Pick the size that matches what the other person uses. A higher quality setting keeps more detail but makes a larger file, so lower it if you need to send the PDF by email. If a PDF is too big, compress the photos first with Compress photo.

Common uses

Combine scanned pages of a contract, collect receipts for an expense claim, assemble a portfolio of work or bundle photos of a form for an application. Put the pages in the right order before you save, because the PDF follows the order on screen.

Private by design

The PDF is written on your own device by our own code, so your pictures are never uploaded or shared. Check the result by opening it before you send it.

A quick example: six receipts for an expenses claim

You have photographed six receipts and your employer wants one PDF. Drop in the photos, use the arrows to put them in date order, choose A4 with a Small margin and press Make PDF. Choose Smaller file if you plan to email it.

Here is what Quality means in practice: Best keeps pictures up to 4000 pixels on the longest side, Balanced up to 2500 pixels and Smaller file up to 1600 pixels, with more compression each step down. Six phone photos at Balanced typically give a PDF of a few megabytes.

Good to know

Open the finished PDF and scroll through every page before you send it, to check the order and that each receipt can be read. Changing a setting hides the old PDF so you never save an out-of-date one, and you simply press Make PDF again. Remember each page is a picture, so the text cannot be searched or copied. If you need text you can select, run the pictures through Image to text first.

Photos of paper work best when the page fills the frame and the light is even. Shadows from your phone or hand make scans look dirty. If a photo is sideways, turn it the right way up in Crop & rotate first.

Questions people ask

What page sizes can I choose?

Same size as the photo makes each page the shape of its photo. A4 and US Letter make normal document pages, with the photo centred and a margin you can choose.

What does Quality change?

Best keeps the photos as sharp as possible but makes a bigger file. Smaller file shrinks the pictures more, which suits emailing. Balanced is in between and is the starting setting.

Can I change the order afterwards?

Yes. Move the photos with the arrows and press Make PDF again. Changing anything hides the old PDF so you never save an out-of-date one.

Is there a limit on pages?

No limit is set. Because the work is done on your own device, a very long PDF of large photos depends on your computer's memory, so make it in parts if it slows down.

Can I copy text out of the PDF?

No. Each page is a picture of your photo, so there is no text to select or search.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The PDF is made inside your browser and never leaves your device.
