About the Image to PDF tool
Almost every organisation that accepts documents asks for a PDF, and almost every document people actually have starts life as a photograph. Receipts are snapped on a phone, ID cards and certificates are captured on a desk, handwritten notes and whiteboards are photographed rather than scanned. Turning that pile of JPGs into one PDF is the step between having the evidence and being able to submit it.
There is a practical reason the requirement exists. A PDF holds many pages in a fixed order inside a single file, so nothing arrives out of sequence, nothing goes missing in an email thread, and the recipient opens one attachment instead of eleven. It also prints predictably: each image becomes a page, sized to the sheet, rather than whatever a photo viewer decides to do with it.
Order is worth arranging before you build the file, since the images become pages in the sequence they are listed. For receipts it usually pays to sort them by date, and for anything multi-part — a contract photographed page by page, a passport with its second page — the natural reading order is the one the reader will expect. Getting it right before conversion is quicker than merging and re-splitting afterwards.
File size deserves a thought too, because modern phone cameras produce very large images and a PDF built from a dozen of them can easily exceed the upload limit on the form you are filling in. If that happens, run the photographs through the Compress image tool first and rebuild — compressing the images is far more effective than anything that can be done to the PDF afterwards, and for a photographed document the quality loss is invisible.
How it works
Add your images
Drop in JPG, PNG or WebP files — one, or as many as the document needs. They are read from your device.
Put them in order
The listed sequence becomes the page order. Arrange it the way the document should read before you build.
Create the PDF
One PDF is generated, one image per page, and saved to your downloads. The originals are untouched.
Frequently asked questions
- How many images can I put in one PDF?
- There is no fixed limit, since nothing is being uploaded and no server is metering the work. Your device sets the practical ceiling: the images are held in memory while the PDF is assembled, so several dozen full-resolution phone photographs may be slow on an older machine. Building in two parts and merging them is the workaround if you hit it.
- Can I mix JPG and PNG in the same document?
- Yes, in any combination, and WebP too. Each image becomes its own page regardless of format. Mixing is common when a document is part photograph and part screenshot, and it causes no problem — although PNG screenshots will make the PDF noticeably larger than JPG photographs of the same dimensions.
- Why is my PDF so large?
- Because phone cameras produce very big images and the PDF carries them at full resolution. A dozen 12-megapixel photographs make a heavy file. Compress the images before building the PDF rather than trying to shrink it afterwards — for photographed documents you can usually cut the size by three quarters with no visible difference in readability.
- Will the text in my photos be searchable?
- No. Each page holds a picture of text, not text itself, so nothing in the PDF can be selected, copied or found with a search. Making it searchable requires optical character recognition, which is a different kind of tool. For submitting receipts or identity documents this rarely matters, since a human is going to read them.
- What page size do the images get?
- Each page is sized to its image, so nothing is cropped and nothing is stretched, and portrait and landscape photographs can sit in the same document without either being distorted. If you need every page on uniform A4 or Letter, resize the images to matching dimensions before converting.
- Is there a watermark on the output?
- No. Nothing is stamped on the pages, no advert page is appended, and there is no paid version that removes a mark. The PDF contains your images and nothing else — which matters when the document is going to an employer, a landlord or a government form.
- Are my photos uploaded to make the PDF?
- No. The images are read from disk and the PDF is assembled inside your browser tab, so nothing crosses the network. Given how often this tool is used for passports, driving licences, bank paperwork and medical documents, keeping the files on your own machine is the whole point.
