JPG to PDF

How to turn images into a PDF

1. Drop your images onto the box above, or click it to browse. JPG, PNG and WebP are accepted, and each new selection joins the end of the list.
2. Check the order in the list underneath. Images go into the document exactly in the order they appear there — drag a row or use its ↑/↓ buttons to move it — and the × beside a file removes it. Sort A–Z orders three or more images by file name, IMG_2 before IMG_10.
3. Choose a page size. Fit to image makes each page exactly as big as its picture; A4 and US Letter give paper-sized pages, turned to landscape for wide pictures. Add a margin if the pages will be printed.
4. Press Create PDF; the status line names each file as it is added.
5. The finished document downloads as editzap-images.pdf; Download again saves another copy without redoing the work.

What people use it for

One PDF is easier to send, print and file than a folder of loose pictures, and most portals prefer it.

• Sending phone photos of a signed contract as one document instead of five attachments.
• Turning a pile of scanned receipts into a single file for an expenses claim.
• Making a simple portfolio or photo album that opens the same way on any device.
• Submitting ID pages or certificates to a form that only accepts PDF.

Good to know

Every image gets a page of its own. With Fit to image the page takes the picture's pixel size and nothing is scaled, so a mixed batch gives pages of different sizes. With A4 or US Letter each picture is scaled to fill the space inside the margin and centred, so a small screenshot is enlarged and can look soft in print. Phones often store a photo sideways with a note saying which way is up; that note is read here, and the turn is made inside the PDF without touching the compressed JPEG data (the rare mirrored photo is redrawn by the browser instead). WebP files are redrawn too, as PDF has no WebP support, and transparent parts of a PNG show the white of the page.

Your pictures stay where they are: the PDF is assembled in memory by the browser itself and handed back as an ordinary download, which is why the conversion carries on even if your connection drops half way. The location, camera model and other details a phone tucks inside a JPEG are left out of the PDF, so sharing it does not reveal where a photo was taken. The size of the result is down to your originals — twenty photos straight from a modern phone make a heavy document — so shrink them with Compress Image first if that matters. To pull the pages back out as pictures later, use PDF to JPG.

Questions people ask

Why do phone photos come out sideways in some PDF tools?

Phones usually save the pixels in the sensor's landscape shape and add an orientation tag saying how to turn them. A tool that copies the JPEG into a PDF without reading that tag produces sideways pages. This one reads it, so the pages look the way the photos do in your gallery.

Is there a limit on how many images I can add?

There is no fixed cap. The real limit is your device's memory, because every image is held in memory while the PDF is built. A few dozen photos are comfortable on a normal computer; for several hundred large ones on a phone, two documents are more dependable. JPG and PNG files go in at full size; pictures the browser has to redraw (WebP files and mirrored photos) are capped at about 16.7 megapixels on phones and tablets, the most an iPhone can draw, and at about 67 megapixels on a computer.

Are iPhone HEIC photos supported?

Not directly — this tool takes JPG, PNG and WebP. Convert them first with HEIC to JPG and then bring the resulting JPGs back here.

Will the text in my scans be searchable?

No. The pages hold pictures, so there is no text layer to search or select. Reading words out of an image is character recognition, which is handled by Image to Text.
