How JPG to PDF works

Each image becomes one page. JPEG photos are placed in the PDF exactly as they are, without being decoded or compressed again, so there is no loss of quality and the file stays about the size of the pictures. PNG images keep their transparency, which shows as the white of the page.

Phones record how the camera was held in a small tag inside the picture, and many programs ignore it, which is why a portrait photo sometimes turns sideways. The tool reads that tag and turns the image upright on the page, for the four orientations that cameras write. WebP, GIF and BMP images, and the rare JPEG that cannot be placed directly, are first decoded by your browser and saved back as a JPEG or PNG; for an animated GIF, the first frame is used.

The page can take the shape of each image, assuming 150 DPI, or be a standard A4 or US Letter sheet. On a standard sheet the image is enlarged or reduced to fit inside the margin, keeps its proportions and is centred; with automatic orientation, a wide picture gets a landscape page and a tall one a portrait page.

How to use it

  1. Select images, or drop them on the area at the top of the tool. You can keep adding images.
  2. Use the arrows to put the images in the order of the pages, and remove any you do not want.
  3. Choose the page size, orientation and margin, and type a name for the PDF if you like.
  4. Choose Create PDF and download the result.

Limits and good to know

  • Up to 100 images per PDF, 50.0 MB per image and 300 MB in total. All images are held in your device’s memory while the PDF is made.
  • Accepted formats are JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP. HEIC photos from some iPhones must be saved as JPG first.
  • The PDF is about as large as the pictures together. To make it smaller, reduce the pictures first, or run the PDF through Compress PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The pictures are read and assembled by your own browser and nothing is sent anywhere. You can check it in your browser’s developer tools: the Network tab shows no upload while you create the PDF. Removing an image or closing the tab releases it from memory.

Will the quality of my photos drop?

Not for JPEG and PNG. They are placed in the PDF without being compressed again, so every pixel is kept. Only images in other formats, such as WebP, are decoded and saved again, as a high-quality JPEG, or as PNG when they may have transparency.

Why does my photo appear sideways in other tools?

Because the camera stored the picture in the orientation of its sensor and added a tag saying how to turn it. Programs that ignore the tag show it sideways. This tool applies the tag, so the page shows the photo as you took it.

How do I choose the order of the pages?

The pages follow the list from top to bottom. Use the up and down arrows next to an image to move it, and Remove to take it out. Images are added in the order you select them, which is not always the order of the file names.

What page size should I choose?

Choose A4 or US Letter if the PDF will be printed or sent as a document: every page then has the same size. Choose Same size as the image to keep each picture whole with no white border, for example for scans or screenshots of different sizes.
