How to convert JPG to PDF for free, one file or many

Why turn images into a PDF

A PDF is the easiest way to send several images as one document. Scanned receipts, photos of signed forms, homework pages, a portfolio or a set of ID scans for an application all travel better as one file than as ten loose JPGs. A PDF opens on almost any device, keeps the pages in order, and prints at a predictable size.

The JPG to PDF tool turns images into a PDF right in your browser. Besides JPG, it accepts PNG, WEBP, GIF, HEIC, BMP, TIFF and AVIF files. That means photos straight from a phone, screenshots and images saved from the web all work without converting them first. You can mix formats in the same PDF.

How to convert JPG to PDF

1. Open JPG to PDF and click Select images, or drop your images onto the page.

2. Drag the thumbnails into the order you want. The first thumbnail becomes page one, the second becomes page two, and so on.

3. Choose a page size, an orientation and a margin. The sections below explain what each option does.

4. Leave Merge all images into one PDF turned on to get a single document, or turn it off to get one PDF per image.

5. Click Convert to PDF, then Download PDF.

Page size and orientation

Fit to image makes every page exactly the size of its image, with no white space unless you add a margin. It is the best choice for reading on screen and for photos of different shapes. A4 and US Letter place each image on a standard paper page. Pick the one used where the document will be printed: A4 in most of the world, US Letter in the United States and Canada.

When you use a paper size, orientation sets which way each page faces. Portrait is tall and Landscape is wide. Auto picks for each page based on its image, so a wide photo gets a landscape page and a tall scan gets a portrait one. Auto is a good default when you mix screenshots, document scans and photos in one file.

Margins

Margin adds white space around each image. None runs the image to the edge of the page. Small leaves a thin border that looks neat on screen and protects the edges when you print. Big gives a wide frame, which helps when you plan to punch holes, bind the pages or write notes in the border. Many printers can't print to the very edge, so choose Small or Big for anything you will print.

One PDF or many

Merge all images into one PDF is on by default. Every image becomes a page in a single file, in the order of the thumbnails. Turn it off when each image needs its own PDF, for example when a form asks you to upload each document separately. You then get one PDF for every image, with the same page settings applied to all of them.

The conversion runs in your browser. Your images become a PDF on your device and are not uploaded to a server, which matters when the pages are bank statements, IDs or medical forms. If the finished PDF is too large to email, shrink your photos with Compress image or Resize image first, then convert them again.
