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. The 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.

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 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 photos from iPhones are only readable in browsers that decode HEIC natively (Safari). On other browsers, convert them to JPG first.

JPG to PDF — frequently asked questions

What image formats can I use?
JPG and PNG are embedded directly. Other formats your browser can decode are converted to PNG first.
Will converting reduce the image quality?
No. JPG images are placed into the PDF without being decoded and re-encoded, so they're bit-for-bit what you started with.
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.
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.
