How to convert JPG to PDF
- Click Choose images, or drop the images onto the box. You can pick many at once.
- Put them in order. Each image becomes one page, from the top of the list down.
- Choose the page size, orientation and margin. The small preview shows how the first page will look.
- Click Create PDF to download the file.
A4, Letter or the size of the image?
| Page size | Measures | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| A4 | 210 × 297 mm (8.3 × 11.7 in) | Printing and documents in most countries, including the UK, Europe, Korea and most of Asia |
| Letter | 8.5 × 11 in (216 × 279 mm) | Printing in the US and Canada |
| Fit image | Each page is the size of its image | Reading on screen, or photos with no white border |
With A4 or Letter, each image is scaled to fit inside the margins, without stretching or cropping, and centered. Auto orientation turns a page sideways when its image is wider than it is tall, so a landscape photo fills the page instead of sitting in a thin strip. Choose Portrait if every page should face the same way, for example when you'll print double-sided.
With Fit image, each page takes the shape of its image. The size is worked out at 96 pixels per inch, the usual screen resolution, so a 1920 × 1080 screenshot becomes a 20 × 11.25 inch page. That looks right on screen; if you'll print the file, A4 or Letter is the better choice.
Photos of IDs and documents stay on your device
Turning photos into a PDF is often how people send a picture of an ID card, a signed form, a receipt or a medical record. Those images can show your face, address, ID number and signature, and photos from a phone can also hold the location where they were taken. On this page the images are read and put into the PDF inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and closing the tab clears them.
JPG and PNG images are placed in the PDF as they are, without re-compressing, so they keep their quality. Location and camera details stored in JPG photos (EXIF data) are removed before the photo goes into the PDF. Other formats your browser can open, such as WebP, GIF, or HEIC in Safari, are converted to high-quality JPG first. Photos taken with the phone held sideways are turned the right way, using the orientation saved in the photo.
Frequently asked questions
- Will my photos lose quality?
- JPG and PNG images go into the PDF without re-compressing, so they keep their full quality. Other formats, such as WebP or HEIC, are converted to high-quality JPG first.
- Can I convert HEIC photos from an iPhone?
- In Safari, yes: Safari can open HEIC files, so they convert like any other photo. Chrome and Firefox currently can't open HEIC. On an iPhone you can also choose Most Compatible under Settings › Camera › Formats, which saves new photos as JPG.
- Why is my PDF so large?
- Each image keeps its original quality, so a PDF of ten 4 MB phone photos is about 40 MB. To make it smaller, reduce the size of the photos first, then convert them.
- Can I put more than one image on a page?
- Not at the moment. Each image becomes one page. To get several photos on one page, combine them into one image first.
- Are my images uploaded?
- No. The images are read and put into the PDF inside your browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server, and location data stored in JPG photos is removed before they go into the PDF.
Your files never leave your device. Everything on this page runs locally in your browser: there's no upload, no account and nothing stored on a server.
