JPG and PNG to PDF
Turn photos and screenshots into one PDF document. Each image becomes a page, you decide the order, and the files never leave your device.
Drag your images here
JPG, PNG and WebP — add several at once. Nothing is uploaded to a server; the PDF is built in your browser.
Going the other way — pull the images out of a document: PDF to JPG.
How it works
- Drop your JPG or PNG files onto the page. You can select as many as you like at once.
- Drag the tiles to set the page order, and rotate anything that came out sideways.
- Click Download PDF. The images are combined into a single document and saved to your device.
The phone-camera document problem
The most common reason to convert images to PDF has nothing to do with graphics. Someone asks for a signed form, a utility bill or an ID, you photograph it on your phone, and now you have five separate JPGs. Sending them as loose attachments is a small disaster: they arrive out of order, the recipient's mail client sorts them by filename, one gets stripped by an attachment limit, and nobody can tell which photo is meant to be page two.
A PDF fixes all of that at once. One file, one fixed sequence, one thing to attach. It also reads as a document rather than a photo album, which matters when a bank, a school office or a government portal is on the receiving end. Many of them accept PDF only, and a fair number reject image uploads outright.
This tool does that step and nothing more. It reads JPG and PNG files, places each one on its own page in the order you choose, and writes a standard PDF. The images are embedded exactly as they are, with no second compression pass, so the pages stay as sharp as the originals and small print does not turn to mush.
Photographing paperwork so the result is readable
Most unusable scans go wrong in the same three ways, and all three are easy to avoid. Shooting at an angle gives you a trapezoid instead of a rectangle, and the text along the far edge goes soft. Hold the phone flat and directly above the page, or use your phone's built-in document mode, which straightens the perspective before you ever get to a file.
Light is the second problem. The usual culprit is your own shadow falling across the page because you are standing between the paper and the window. Move so the light comes past you rather than from behind you, and skip the flash on glossy paper: it produces a bright blind spot exactly where the text is. Flat, indirect daylight is the best free lighting there is.
The third is simple carelessness, and a few habits fix it:
- Put the page on a plain, dark surface. The contrast makes the edges obvious and any later crop much cleaner.
- Shoot the pages in order, one at a time. Sorting tiles afterwards works, but starting in the right order is faster.
- Check that all four corners are in frame before moving on. A missing corner is usually a missing signature or stamp.
- Photograph a two-page spread as two separate shots rather than one wide one, so each page ends up its own page.
Page size, file size and what comes next
Each page in the finished PDF takes the shape of the image placed on it, so a portrait photo produces a portrait page and a wide screenshot produces a wide one. That is deliberate: nothing is stretched, cropped or letterboxed to force it onto a fixed sheet. If you specifically need uniform pages for a printed submission, photograph everything in the same orientation, then tidy the shape with crop PDF before printing.
File size is the thing that catches people out. A current phone camera produces eight to twelve megapixels per shot, so six photographed pages easily come to thirty or forty megabytes, while email gateways commonly stop at twenty-five. Build the PDF first, check that every page is the right way up and legible, and only then run it through compress PDF. Compressing before you check means redoing the work when a page turns out to be blurry.
After that the document behaves like any other PDF. You can sign PDF to add a signature to the last page, merge PDF to attach it to a typed cover letter, rotate PDF if something slipped through sideways, or run OCR PDF so the text inside the photographs becomes searchable and selectable.
Frequently asked questions
Which image formats are supported?
JPG and PNG. HEIC, the format newer iPhones use by default, is not read directly. Either switch your camera to Most Compatible in Settings, or share the photo rather than attaching the raw file, which converts it to JPG automatically.
How do I control the order of the photos?
Every image appears as a tile after you add it, and the PDF is built in exactly the order shown on screen. Drag the tiles to change it. Files added in one go arrive in the order your file picker lists them, which is normally alphabetical by filename rather than the order you took the shots, so it is worth a quick look before you save.
What page size does each photo get?
The page matches the image. A photo's own width and height become the page dimensions, so nothing is stretched or cut off. There is no fixed A4 or Letter sheet with the picture dropped in the middle, which means mixed orientations produce mixed page shapes.
Is it free, and do I need an account?
It is free, with no account, no email address and no watermark on the finished pages. The PDF you download contains your photos and nothing else.
Is there a limit on how many photos I can add?
Not one that we set. The conversion runs on your device, so the ceiling is your available memory rather than a server quota. Dozens of photos are routine; if a very large batch starts to feel sluggish on a phone, split it into two documents and join them afterwards with merge PDF.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion happens inside your browser. The images are read from your device, assembled in memory and saved back to your device, so nothing is transmitted and no copy exists anywhere else.
Does this work on a phone?
Yes, and the phone is the main use case. Open the page in mobile Chrome or Safari, tap to add photos from your camera roll, arrange them and save the PDF straight to your files. You can also add existing PDFs alongside the images, so a photographed signature page can go on the end of a typed contract in one pass.
