Free JPG to PDF converter

JPG to PDF, photos into one document

Add up to 50 JPG or JPEG photos, put them in the order you want, and download a single PDF with one photo per page. The pages start out A4-sized, the way a photographed document should print, and the whole conversion happens inside this browser tab — nothing uploaded, no account, no watermark.

Working with screenshots or transparent graphics instead? The PNG to PDF converter keeps every original pixel.

How to convert JPG to PDF

Four steps, none of which involve a server. Your photos stay in this tab from start to finish.

  1. Add your JPG photos

    Drag them onto the box above or click it to reach your camera roll, Photos library or a folder of scans. Up to 50 photos per PDF, 50 MB each. JPG and JPEG are the same format with two spellings — both land here, along with PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, GIF and BMP.

  2. Check the order and the rotation

    The thumbnails are the page order, so photo 1 becomes page 1. Sort A→Z lines up camera filenames like IMG_2, IMG_10 the way a human reads them, and the rotate button fixes a shot the camera tagged wrong. Photos that carry EXIF orientation are already turned upright before you see them.

  3. Pick the page shape

    This page starts on A4 with a 6 mm margin, which is what a photographed document or receipt should look like when it is printed or emailed. US Letter is one menu away, and Fit to image makes each page exactly as large as the photo instead.

  4. Convert and download

    Press Convert to PDF. Compact quality is preselected because a JPG is already JPEG-compressed, so the pages go in at roughly their original weight. The download button then shows the page count and the finished file size.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a JPG to PDF?

Drop the JPG onto the box at the top of this page and press Convert to PDF — the download button appears a moment later. Nothing is installed and no account is created: the PDF is written by JavaScript running in this tab. Add up to 50 photos if you want them all in one document.

Is JPEG to PDF the same thing as JPG to PDF?

Yes. JPG and JPEG are one format with two file extensions — the three-letter version is a leftover from MS-DOS, which allowed only three. Both open here identically, and so do the .jpe and .jfif spellings some older cameras produce.

How do I combine multiple JPG files into one PDF?

Add every photo, leave “Combine into one PDF” ticked, and press Convert — each becomes a page in the order the thumbnails show. Use the arrow buttons to move a page, or Sort A→Z for camera filenames. Untick the box instead and you get one PDF per photo, downloadable together as a .zip.

Does converting JPG to PDF reduce the quality?

Not in Compact mode, which is what this page preselects: the photo is decoded and re-encoded once as JPEG at quality 85, a step that is visually indistinguishable on photographic content at normal viewing size. The pixel dimensions are untouched, so a 4000-pixel-wide photo is still 4000 pixels wide inside the PDF.

Why is the PDF bigger than my JPG files in Lossless mode?

Because lossless embedding stores the decoded pixels rather than the JPEG data. A JPG is already compressed with a lossy codec, and re-packing those same pixels with deflate — which cannot exploit the frequency tricks JPEG uses — typically lands several times larger. Lossless is there for PNG screenshots and line art. For photographs, Compact is the right answer and is already selected.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. Each photo is decoded by your browser, drawn to a canvas and written into the PDF locally, so no file, filename or pixel is transmitted. You can check it: open the browser's network panel while converting, or turn off your connection after the page has loaded — the converter keeps working.

Can I convert photos to PDF on an iPhone?

Yes. Open this page in Safari, tap the drop area and pick from your camera roll. iPhones shooting in High Efficiency produce .HEIC rather than .JPG, and Safari decodes those too, so you do not have to convert them to JPEG first. On Android, Chrome handles the same job.

Will the pages be A4, or the size of my photos?

A4 with a small margin, unless you change it. Each photo is scaled to fit and centred, portrait or landscape following the shot. Switch Page size to US Letter for the North American paper standard, or to Fit to image if the PDF is only ever going to be read on a screen and you would rather not have white borders.

Can the text in my scanned photos be searched afterwards?

No. There is no OCR here — the pages hold your photographs as pictures, exactly as they came off the camera. A PDF of a photographed contract is a faithful copy of the document, but its text is not selectable, and no reader will find words inside it.

Why JPG gets different defaults

This is the same converter as the PNG to PDF page, started from a different position. PNG files are usually screenshots, logos or line art, so that page defaults to pixel-exact embedding on image-sized pages. JPG files are usually photographs — a receipt on a kitchen table, a passport page, a whiteboard, a set of holiday shots — and photographs want compact output on a paper size someone can print.

The quality setting is the part worth understanding. Lossless embedding writes the decoded RGB samples into the PDF with deflate compression, which is exactly right for a screenshot: the pixels come back bit-for-bit. Feed it a JPG and the result is a much larger file for no visible gain, because the photo has already been through a codec that compresses far harder than deflate ever will. Compact mode re-encodes each page as JPEG at quality 85 instead, so a 3 MB photo stays roughly a 3 MB page.

The honest limits: 50 photos and 50 MB each per run, 16 megapixels per page before the browser's canvas ceiling forces a downscale, and no OCR — the pages hold pictures, so text inside them stays unsearchable. Everything else, including the PDF's cross-reference table, is assembled by this site's own code in your tab rather than by a hosted API.

Your photos stay on your device

There is no upload step to opt out of. Photographs are personal — an ID card, a medical form, a page of a bank statement — and none of them leave this tab: the PDF is built by JavaScript on your own hardware, so nothing is transmitted, stored or looked at by us. Close the tab and the in-memory copies are gone.
