JPG to PDF
Turn one or more photos or scans into a single PDF document. Choose a standard page size or let each page match the image. Nothing is uploaded.
- Select one or more JPG or PNG images. They are added to the PDF in the order listed.
- Pick a page size — fit to each image, A4, or US Letter — and a margin if you want white space around the edges.
- Click Create PDF and the finished document downloads automatically.
The most common reason people need this
Almost every official upload form — visa applications, university admissions, insurance claims, tax portals, HR onboarding — asks for a PDF and refuses a photo. Meanwhile the document itself only exists as pictures taken with a phone. Converting them is the missing step, and it is a step that shouldn't require handing your passport scan or payslip to an unknown server.
This tool builds the PDF in your browser using pdf-lib. Your images are read from disk, embedded into a PDF document in memory, and saved straight to your Downloads folder. Nothing is transmitted.
Choosing a page size
The right choice depends on what happens to the file next:
- Fit page to each image makes every PDF page exactly the dimensions of the image on it. There are no white borders and nothing is cropped or scaled. This is the right choice for screenshots, receipts, and anything that will only be viewed on screen.
- A4 or US Letter places each image centred on a standard sheet, scaled down to fit while keeping its proportions. Choose this whenever the document might be printed, or when an upload form specifies a paper size. A4 is standard in India, Europe and most of the world; US Letter in the United States and Canada.
Photos taken in landscape will leave wide bands of white above and below on a portrait page — switching to A4 landscape, or adding a small margin instead, usually looks better.
Getting the page order right
Images are placed in the order shown in the list beneath the picker, which your operating system usually sorts alphabetically. Phone photos named IMG_2024.jpg, IMG_2025.jpg and so on will already be in the order they were taken. For anything else, rename with numeric prefixes — 01-front.jpg, 02-back.jpg — before selecting them.
Scans and readability
The text inside a PDF built from photos is part of the image, not selectable characters, so it cannot be searched or copied. That is inherent to converting a picture and is true of every image-to-PDF tool; producing searchable text requires OCR, which is a different operation. For most upload forms this does not matter — a human or a scanner-aware system reads the document either way. What does matter is legibility: photograph documents in even light, square-on rather than at an angle, and check the text is sharp before converting.
