Convert images to PDF

Runs on your device · Your file never leaves your device.

Add photos in any common format — JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC straight from an iPhone — and download them as one PDF document, arranged in the order you choose.

This is the tool for turning a handful of phone photos into something submittable: a set of receipts for an expense claim, photographed pages of a contract, or ID documents for an application.

Set a maximum output size if the destination has an upload cap, and the images are compressed only as much as needed to fit.

How to convert images to PDF

  1. Add your photos or scans in any mix of formats.
  2. Put them in order — drag on a desktop, or use the arrows on a phone.
  3. Set a page size, and a maximum file size if a form demands one.
  4. Press Convert to PDF (it names how many images) and download it.

How each format goes into the PDF

Without a size limit, JPG photos go into the PDF unchanged and PNG images without any loss, so a PNG keeps its transparent areas. WebP, GIF, BMP and HEIC images are first converted to JPEG at quality 92 on a white background. A GIF contributes only its first frame, and a HEIC file only its first picture. The first HEIC photo takes a little longer, because the decoder, about 1.4 MB, is loaded from this site at that moment.

TIFF, the format many office scanners and fax programs save, works too, and a multi-page TIFF gives one PDF page per page. Most browsers cannot open TIFF themselves, so the first TIFF loads a reader of about 30 MB from this site, once; each page is then stored without loss.

Photos taken on a phone

Phone cameras often store a portrait photo sideways, together with a note saying which way is up. That note is followed: the photo is placed upright, and on A4 or Letter it gets a portrait page. A JPG is still put in byte for byte; only the way it is laid on the page turns.

A size limit treats every image alike

When the PDF is over the limit you chose, every image is converted to JPEG and reduced in the same steps, whatever format it came in. Transparent areas of a PNG turn white, and a screenshot of small text picks up the slight blur of JPEG long before a photograph shows any. If a document mixes text screenshots with photos, choose the largest limit the destination accepts. Sizes count 1 KB as 1000 bytes, as the other tools on this site do. The steps themselves, and the page size and margin settings, are explained on /jpg-to-pdf.

Page order

Pages follow the list from top to bottom, whatever the format of each image. Drag an entry to move it, or use its up and down arrows, which also work on a phone. The finished file downloads as images.pdf.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. This conversion runs inside your browser using your own device’s processing power, and the file is not uploaded. Once a tool has been used once (video, text recognition and background removal download their engine from this site the first time), it keeps working when your connection drops.
Do iPhone HEIC photos work?
Yes. HEIC images are decoded in the browser and embedded into the PDF like any other photo.
How do I get one image per page?
That is the default — each image you add becomes its own page.
