Convert JPG to PDF

Put one or many photos into a single PDF, in the order you choose.

Processed on your device. Files are not uploaded.

Photographed a four-page lease on your phone? Add the four photos here, check the order, and you get one PDF to attach instead of four pictures.

  1. Add the photos. The list shows them in page order.
  2. Move a photo up or down with the arrows, or remove it.
  3. Pick a page size (the questions below explain which).
  4. Choose margins if you want white space around the photos (none, 10 mm or 20 mm), then create the PDF.

An example

Two photos of 31 KB and 234 KB made a 2-page PDF of 267 KB, only 1.3 KB more than the photos themselves, in under a tenth of a second. Both were landscape, so both pages turned landscape on their own. One of them was stored sideways with a rotation tag, the way phones save many photos; it came out upright.

Why the file is not smaller

Many converters recompress photos to make a smaller PDF, which also makes them blurrier. This one puts the JPG data into the PDF untouched, with its color profile, so text in a photographed document stays as sharp as in the photo. For a smaller file, run the result through Compress PDF.

Questions and answers

Does the PDF lower the quality of my photos?

No. JPG files are placed into the PDF exactly as they are, byte for byte, without being compressed again. The PDF is roughly the size of your photos added together.

Which page size should I pick?

Letter for printing in the US and Canada, A4 almost everywhere else. "Same as image" makes each page exactly the size of its photo, which looks best on screen but prints at odd sizes.

My photo was taken sideways. Will it be sideways in the PDF?

No. Phones store the rotation as a note in the photo, and the converter applies it, so each photo appears the way it looked on your phone. JPGs are rotated by turning the page content, without re-encoding the image.

Can I mix JPG with HEIC or PNG?

Yes. PNG is added losslessly. HEIC, WebP and AVIF are first converted to JPG at quality 90, because PDF readers cannot display them directly.
