About JPG to PDF
To convert JPG to PDF, this tool places one or more images onto PDF pages, entirely in your browser: choose a page size, drag to reorder, rotate or remove any image, and merge everything into one document or keep each as its own PDF.
Reach for it with scanned receipts, photographed pages or any set of pictures you want to send or file as a single PDF. Each image is placed as-is, scaled to fit; nothing about the picture itself, like its resolution or colour, is enhanced.
How it works
- Add one or more images (JPG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP or WebP). TIFF only works if your browser can open it.
- Drag the thumbnails to reorder them, or use the Rotate, Enlarge and Remove buttons that appear on each one.
- Choose a Page size (A4 is the default; Fit to image, Custom size, A1 to A5, Letter, Legal, Ledger, Tabloid and Executive are in the list), a Page orientation (Auto, Portrait or Landscape) and a Margin (None, Small margin (0.5 in) or Large margin (1 in)). Fit to image hides orientation and margin, because the page is cut to the picture.
- Leave "Merge into one document" ticked for a single PDF, or untick it for one PDF per image.
- Click Convert to PDF and download your result: one PDF, or a ZIP when you unticked the merge and added more than one image.
How each image is placed on the page
Every image gets a page of its own, and no page ever holds two. The picture is scaled, keeping its proportions, until it just fits inside the page less the margin, then centred. It is scaled up as well as down, so a small picture on an A4 page is enlarged to fill it and will look soft; choose Fit to image to keep a picture at its own pixel size.
One kind of photo comes out wrong. Many phone cameras store the picture sideways and add an orientation tag telling viewers to turn it; the page is then sized for the upright shape while the sideways pixels go in untouched, so the photo lands on its side and squashed. The thumbnail here shows it upright, so nothing warns you, and rotating it takes the squashing out without setting it the right way up. A copy saved with the rotation applied to the pixels converts correctly.
Auto orientation looks at each image separately. A picture wider than it is tall gets a landscape page and any other picture gets a portrait one, so a mixed batch comes out with both kinds of page. Portrait and Landscape force every page one way. A margin adds 0.5 in or 1 in of white on every side, and None runs the picture to the page edge.
Fit to image makes each page exactly as big as its picture, counting one pixel as one point (72 to the inch), with no margin. A 3000 by 4000 pixel photo becomes a page of 3000 by 4000 points, about 41.7 by 55.6 inches, which looks right on screen but is far larger than any sheet of paper.
Custom size takes a width and height in inches or millimetres and starts at 8.5 by 11 in. The numbers do not convert when you switch the unit, so change the unit first and then type the size, or 8.5 in becomes 8.5 mm. Whichever way round you enter the two values, the orientation setting decides whether the page is portrait or landscape.
Formats, quality and file size
JPEG files go into the PDF as they are, without being re-encoded, and PNG files keep every pixel, so the picture in the PDF is as sharp as the file you added and the PDF comes out roughly as large as the images put together. GIF, BMP, WebP and TIFF files are drawn onto a canvas and stored as PNG, which can be larger than the original. Rotating an image does the same, so a rotated JPG is saved as a PNG: no sharpness is lost, but the file grows.
The accepted list is .png, .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .tif, .tiff, .bmp and .webp. iPhone HEIC photos and SVG drawings are not on it, so export those as JPG or PNG first. If your browser cannot open an image, the conversion stops with a message suggesting you convert that file to PNG first.
The tool sets no limit on the number or size of images. Each one is held in memory while the PDF is assembled, so the real limit is your device; if a very large batch stalls a phone, convert it in smaller groups and join the results with Merge PDF.
Worked example: six scanned receipts
Six receipts scanned as JPG files, two of them scanned sideways, need to go to an accounts team as one file. Add all six, drag them into date order, and use Rotate on the two sideways ones; the page shape follows the picture after rotation. Keep A4 and Auto orientation, and pick Small margin (0.5 in) so no receipt touches the paper edge.
With "Merge into one document" ticked, you get a single six-page PDF named after the first image in your order, for example receipt-1.pdf.
Frequently asked questions
Not by the scaling: each image is scaled proportionally to fit inside the page (and any margin), then centred. A small image is scaled up to fill the page, which can make it look soft. The one picture that does come out squashed is a phone photo carrying a sideways orientation tag, described above.
It shouldn’t be: a JPG is embedded into the PDF as-is, without being re-encoded, and a PNG keeps every pixel, so quality matches the source file. A picture that looks soft was most likely enlarged to fill the page, and Fit to image avoids that. Rotated images, and formats such as GIF or WebP, are stored as PNG, which keeps every pixel but can make the PDF larger.
The page is made exactly the size of the image, at 72 dpi, with no margin, so the PDF page and the picture are identical in size. A high-resolution photo therefore becomes a very large page.
Yes. Untick "Merge into one document" and you will get a ZIP with one PDF per image, each named after its source file.
Yes. Drag any thumbnail to move it, and use the rotate control on an individual image to turn it 90 degrees at a time; the order and rotation you set are what ends up in the PDF.
JPG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP and WebP, mixed freely in one batch; each is placed on its own page the same way. TIFF depends on your browser being able to open it, and HEIC is not accepted.
A4 or Letter, matching whatever paper the original document was printed on, with orientation left on Auto so portrait and landscape scans in the same batch are each handled correctly.
No. The tool places one image per page. To get a contact sheet or a collage, combine the pictures in an image editor first and add the result here as a single image.
No. The images are read and placed onto pages by code running in your browser tab, and the PDF is assembled in memory on your device before it is offered as a download.
It takes the name of the first image in your order, with .pdf in place of the image’s extension. If you untick the merge, each PDF is named after its own image instead.
