JPG to PDF Converter

Convert JPG photos and images into a single PDF — each image becomes a page, at full quality, right in your browser.

Each photo becomes a page the size of the photo

There's no page-size setting. Every image gets a page exactly as many PDF points wide and tall as it has pixels. A point is 1/72 of an inch, so phone photos make very large pages:

Photo (pixels)Page size
4032 × 302456.00 × 42.00 in (142.2 × 106.7 cm)
3000 × 400041.67 × 55.56 in (105.8 × 141.1 cm)
800 × 60011.11 × 8.33 in (28.2 × 21.2 cm)

The photo fills its page edge to edge, with no margins. On screen this doesn't matter, because PDF viewers scale the page to the window. When you print, choose Fit to page (or similar) in the print dialog, or the printer may crop or tile the page.

Your JPGs go in untouched

JPG files are placed in the PDF byte for byte; they are not decoded or re-compressed. You lose no quality, and the PDF ends up roughly the total size of your photos plus a little overhead. To get a smaller PDF, shrink the photos before converting, with the Image Resizer or the Image Compressor.

A side effect: the whole JPG file goes into the PDF, including its EXIF block. GPS position and camera details stay inside the PDF even though the viewer doesn't display them.

Sideways phone photos

Phones often store a photo in the sensor's orientation and add a tag telling viewers to rotate it. The PDF library used here reads only the width and height from the JPG and ignores that tag, so a photo that looks upright in your gallery can come out lying on its side in the PDF.

Two fixes:

  • Before converting, pass the photo through the Image Compressor or Image Resizer. Your browser applies the rotation when it reads the photo, so the new JPG is saved upright (and without its EXIF data).
  • After converting, if every page is turned the same way, use Rotate PDF Pages on the whole file.

Page order and mixing in PNGs

Pages follow the order of the file list. Each time you choose more files they're added to the end, and the × next to a name removes it. There's no drag-to-reorder, so to move a page, remove it and add it again. When you select several files at once, your system's file dialog decides their order, which may not be the order you clicked. If order matters, add the photos one at a time.

PNG files can go in the same batch; each becomes a page the same way. The download is called images.pdf.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make every page A4 or Letter size?+

Not with this tool. Each page matches its photo's pixel dimensions. Use your print dialog's fit-to-page option when printing, or place the images into an A4 document in a word processor and export that as PDF.

Why is my PDF as big as all the photos together?+

Because the JPGs are stored inside it unchanged. Compressing or resizing them first is the way to get a lighter PDF.

Is there a limit on how many photos I can add?+

The code sets no limit. Everything is held in your browser's memory, so a very long batch of full-size phone photos may be slow on an older phone or laptop.

Will the text in a photographed document be searchable?+

No. Each page is a picture. Selecting or searching text needs OCR, which this tool doesn't do.
