Practical guide
Convert JPG photos and scans into one organized PDF
A PDF is easier to submit, print, and archive than a folder of separate photos. This converter reads any image your browser can decode, including JPG, PNG, and WebP, and writes one page per image on your own device. Each image is re-encoded as a JPEG inside the document. Choose A4 fitting when the result may be printed, or keep the original size when the pixel dimensions are what matter.
- 595 × 842 pt
- The page this tool builds with A4 fitting on: 595.28 × 841.89 points, which is A4's 210 × 297 mm. The two sides swap for an image that is wider than it is tall.ISO 216 paper size at the PDF default 1/72-inch unit

- Margin kept on all four sides in A4 mode, roughly one third of an inch, so the image is not pressed against the paper edge.Measured in this tool's conversion code

- The PDF page dimension limit, which is 200 inches at the default unit. It matters with A4 fitting off, because pixels become points.ISO 32000 page dimension limit
How to convert JPG to PDF in 3 steps
- 1
Add the images
Choose or drag in the photos and scans you want to include. The picker takes anything your browser can decode as an image, and each file becomes one page.
- 2
Order and size them
Use the arrow buttons under each thumbnail to move an image earlier or later, and the ✕ to drop one. Leave A4 fitting ticked for paper-sized pages, or untick it to keep each image's pixel dimensions.
- 3
Create the PDF
Press the create button and the file downloads as images.pdf. Open it, check every page, and rename the file so its subject and date are clear.
Worked examples
| If you need to | Do this | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Send a month of receipt photos to accounts | Add every photo, order them by date with the arrow buttons, leave A4 fitting on | One images.pdf with each receipt centered on a printable A4 page |
| Convert a photo taken in landscape | Add it and keep A4 fitting on | A landscape A4 page, 841.89 × 595.28 pt, because the tool follows whichever side of the image is longer |
| Keep a scan at its exact pixel size | Untick the A4 fitting box before converting | A 1240 × 1754 pixel scan becomes a 1240 × 1754 point page, about 17 × 24 inches |
| Remove a photo you added by mistake | Click the ✕ on its thumbnail | That image leaves the sequence and the remaining page numbers close up |
| Convert a logo saved as a transparent PNG | Add the PNG like any other image | The see-through area comes out solid white, because the page is written as a JPEG |
When to convert JPG to PDF
Signed paper forms
Photograph each page of a completed form and deliver it as one ordered PDF instead of a series of image attachments.
Portfolios and contact sheets
Place artwork, product images, or reference photos in a predictable sequence that recipients can scroll or print.
Study and field notes
Collect whiteboard photos, handwritten notes, or site observations into a single document that is easier to archive.
Tips to convert JPG to PDF well
- Crop the desk and background out of each photo first. The whole image goes on the page, and there is no crop control here.
- Straighten a sideways photo in your camera roll before you add it, because this converter has no rotate control. Finished pages can still be turned with the Rotate PDF tool.
- Photograph documents in even light and hold the camera parallel to the page to reduce shadows and perspective distortion.
- Use A4 fitting for forms and submissions that someone may print, and keep original size for artwork where the pixel dimensions matter more.
- Arrange the images before you convert, because the finished PDF follows the exact order of the thumbnails.
- If a long batch slows the tab down, make two or three smaller PDFs and join them with the Merge PDF tool.
Good to know
- Transparency is not preserved. Each image is drawn onto a white background and stored as a JPEG, so a see-through PNG logo arrives sitting on a solid white block. Use the Stamp & Sign tool when you need a transparent image over existing content.
- Every image is re-encoded as a JPEG at quality 0.92, so a little detail is lost even if you started with a JPG. Screenshots, line art, and flat color show it more than photographs.
- The converter does not perform OCR. Text visible in a photo remains part of the image, so search and text selection will not work.
- With A4 fitting on, a small image is enlarged to fill the page area rather than left at its natural size, which can look soft. Turn A4 fitting off if you would rather it stay small.
- With A4 fitting off, pixel dimensions become PDF points, so a 4000 pixel wide photo makes a page over 55 inches wide. An image past 14,400 pixels on a side also crosses the PDF page dimension limit, which some readers handle badly.
- HEIC and other unusual formats only work if your browser can decode them. When a file cannot be read the tool reports that it could not convert those images and nothing downloads, so converting HEIC to JPG first is the reliable route.
Questions about how to convert JPG to PDF
▸Can I combine several JPG images into one PDF?
Yes. Add the images in one go or in several, arrange them with the arrow buttons, then convert. Each image becomes one page of a single PDF, in the order shown on screen.
▸Does converting to PDF reduce image quality?
Slightly. Every image is re-encoded as a JPEG at quality 0.92 before it is placed on the page. That is visually close to the original for photographs, but it softens the hard edges in screenshots and line art.
▸Does a transparent PNG stay transparent in the PDF?
No. The transparent area is filled with white before the page is written, because the image is stored as a JPEG and JPEG has no alpha channel. To keep a see-through logo or signature over existing content, place it with the Stamp & Sign tool instead.
▸Should I use A4 or original image size?
Choose A4 for receipts, forms, and anything headed for a printer: the image is scaled to fit a 595 by 842 point page with a 24 point margin, and an image wider than it is tall gets a landscape page. Keep original size when the page should match the image's pixel dimensions exactly.
▸How do I convert a photo to PDF on my phone?
Open the converter in the phone's browser, tap to pick images from the camera roll, then convert. The work happens on the phone itself, so a long batch of high-resolution photos can run out of memory sooner than it would on a laptop.
▸Will text in the images become searchable?
No. Photos and scans are placed on the page as pictures, with no optical character recognition, so the words cannot be searched, selected, or copied. That needs OCR software.
▸Do my photos leave my device?
No. The images are decoded, re-encoded, and assembled into a PDF by your own browser. Nothing is sent to a server, and the finished file is saved straight to your downloads as images.pdf.
