Turn photos and images into a single PDF

This is the single most-searched PDF task there is, and it's usually someone photographing a document with their phone and needing it as a PDF for an application form. Those photos are personal — ID cards, bank statements, certificates — which makes uploading them to a converter a strange thing to have to do.

Drop the images in, set the order, choose a page size and margin, and download. JPG and PNG images are embedded at their original quality rather than re-encoded, so nothing is lost on the way in — which matters when the thing being photographed is a document someone is going to have to read.

Phone photos are turned upright using their rotation tag, and each page can pick portrait or landscape to suit its picture. You can fit each page to its image, or place everything on a consistent A4 or Letter page with a margin, which is usually what an application form is expecting. If the result is larger than whatever upload limit you're up against, run it through Compress afterwards rather than degrading the images going in.

What this does — and what it doesn't

  • JPG and PNG images are embedded as-is without re-encoding, so quality is unchanged and the PDF is about the size of the source images added together. Use Compress afterwards if you need it smaller.
  • HEIC, WebP, AVIF, GIF and BMP are redrawn first: photos become high-quality JPEG, and GIF, BMP and any WebP or AVIF with transparency become PNG so the transparency is kept (it shows over the white page). Only the first frame of an animated GIF is used. Pictures that need redrawing are shrunk if they are over 8,000 pixels on a side or 50 megapixels, and the page tells you when that happens.
  • A JPEG saved mirrored (rare, from some front cameras) is also redrawn. TIFF files are not supported.

JPG to PDF — frequently asked questions

What image formats can I use?
JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF and HEIC/HEIF. JPG and PNG are embedded directly; the others are converted first (photos to JPEG; GIF, BMP and transparent WebP/AVIF to PNG, so transparency is kept and shows over the white page). Whether AVIF and WebP open depends on your browser; HEIC works in any modern one.
Will converting reduce the image quality?
Not for JPG and PNG: they are placed into the PDF without being decoded and re-encoded, so the picture data is exactly what you started with. Other formats are converted once, at high quality.
Can I control the page size?
Yes — fit the page to the image, or use a fixed A4 or Letter page with a margin you choose, with portrait or landscape picked automatically for each image or fixed. You can also order pages as listed, by file name, or reversed.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. Every operation runs in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly — the file never leaves your device. You can verify it: load the page, disconnect from the internet, and the tool still works. There is no upload endpoint to send it to.
