JPG to PDF

Turn photos and screenshots into a single PDF, in any order, with real page sizes.

JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF or HEIC — whatever your browser can decode. Drag and drop works too.

36 points is about 12.7 mm.

Pages in order

The usual reason to need this is a form: a passport renewal, an insurance claim, a rental application. They ask for documents as one PDF and you have four photographs of paper taken with a phone.

Add the images, drag them into order or use the arrow buttons, rotate any that came out sideways, then choose the page setup. A4 portrait with a small margin and fit inside is right for scanned documents; fill the page is better for photographs with no margins. The PDF is assembled in the tab — images are re-encoded as JPEG and written into the file directly, so a six-page PDF of photographs is a few hundred kilobytes rather than sixty megabytes.

How to use it

  1. Add images with the file picker or by dropping them onto the page. PNG, WebP and HEIC convert on the way in.
  2. Reorder with the ↑ and ↓ buttons, rotate any that are the wrong way up with ⟳, and remove ones you do not need with ×.
  3. Choose the page size (A4, Letter or A3) and the orientation. Mixed portrait and landscape pages are fine — each image gets its own page fitted to the same box.
  4. Set the margin. 15 mm looks right for a document; choose 0 for a full-bleed photo page.
  5. Pick Fit inside to keep whole images visible, or Fill the page to crop to the edges.
  6. Adjust the JPEG quality (0.85 is a good balance) and press Create PDF. The download starts immediately.

Questions

Does this produce a real PDF, or an image wrapped in a .pdf name?

A real PDF. The image data is embedded as a JPEG stream inside a PDF image object using the DCTDecode filter, which is the format a PDF reader expects for JPEG pages, and the page structure, cross-reference table and trailer are written properly. It opens in any reader, and printing it gives real pages at the size you chose. The one honest limitation is that the text inside a photograph is still a picture, so a reader cannot search it — that needs OCR.

Why did my file get so much smaller?

Because the tool re-encodes each image as a JPEG at the quality you set. A phone photo is often 4–8 MB, and at quality 0.85 for a document scan the same page is a few hundred kilobytes. Raise the quality to 1.0 if you can see the difference, and remember that the images are not upscaled or sharpened — nothing is added, only compressed.

Can I add text or a signature to the pages?

Not here. This tool is deliberately about assembling pages. If you need to sign or annotate a PDF, sign the images before you add them, or use the invoice and receipt makers which print through the browser and can include a drawn signature.
