JPG to PDF
Drop in images, drag them into the order you want, and get one PDF back. Your photos are never re-compressed, and never leave your device.
Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded
What this does
Drop in photos or screenshots, put them in the order you want, and download one PDF with an image on each page. It takes JPG and PNG, and also WebP, AVIF, GIF and BMP — anything your browser can open. The conversion happens on your own device; nothing is uploaded.
Your photos are not re-compressed
This is the part most converters get wrong. A PDF can carry JPEG data directly, exactly as it sits in the file, so there is no reason ever to decode a photo and squash it again. When you add a JPG here, its bytes are copied into the PDF untouched — the picture in the PDF is pixel-for-pixel the picture you started with. The same is true of PNG.
Converters that rebuild every image put a second round of JPEG compression on top of the first, which is where the blocky patches around text and sharp edges come from. Formats a PDF cannot hold natively — WebP, AVIF, GIF and BMP — do have to be redrawn, and this uses PNG for that, so even then nothing is thrown away. The tool tells you when it has had to convert something.
Page size, and why a photo has no size of its own
An image is a grid of pixels. It has no physical size until something decides how many pixels go in an inch, which is why the same photo can be a postage stamp or a poster. A PDF page, on the other hand, is measured in points — 72 to the inch — so putting one in the other means answering that question. There are two sensible answers, and both are here:
- Fit to image makes each page exactly the shape of its image, so nothing is letterboxed and no white space is added. The resolution setting decides how big that page is: 96 dpi matches what your browser calls a pixel, so a screenshot comes out its own size, while 300 dpi produces a smaller, print-resolution page.
- A named size — A4, Letter, Legal, A3, A5 — puts each image on standard paper, scaled to fit and centred. This is the one to use if the PDF is going to be printed or attached to something official.
Images are always fitted whole, never cropped and never stretched. A landscape photo on a portrait page gets bands above and below rather than having its edges cut off — and onAuto orientation it gets a landscape page instead, so it doesn't need them.
How to use it
- Drop in your images, or click to choose them. Add more at any point.
- Drag the arrows to reorder, or remove any you didn't mean to include.
- Pick a page size and margin, then create the PDF.
Is it private?
Yes, and photos are exactly where it matters. Images are read and assembled by JavaScript inside this page — they are never transmitted, never stored, and there is no server on the other end to receive them. Once the page has loaded you can disconnect from the internet and it will keep working.
The PDF it produces carries no metadata of its own either: no title, no author, no producer, and no creation date. Note that this tool does not strip metadata that is inside your original photos — a JPEG embedded untouched keeps its own EXIF, which can include the camera and, if you left location services on, where the picture was taken.
Frequently asked questions
Can it take iPhone photos?
If your browser can open the file, this can convert it. Safari reads HEIC natively; Chrome and Firefox on most systems do not, and will say the file couldn't be read. Setting your iPhone's camera to "Most Compatible" makes it shoot JPG instead, which works everywhere.
How many images can I add?
There's no fixed limit. Everything is held in your device's memory, so a few hundred photos is fine and several thousand full-resolution ones will eventually run out of room. The progress on the button shows where it has got to.
Can I put several images on one page?
Not here — each image gets its own page, which is what almost everyone wants from this conversion. For a contact sheet, arrange the images in a document first and print that to PDF.
Will the PDF be smaller than my photos?
No, slightly larger — the images go in at full quality plus a little PDF structure around them. If you need a smaller file, use the Compress PDF tool afterwards, or the Image Compressor before.
