JPG to PDF

Someone sent you 40 separate photos. Make them one document.

This tool runs in your browser. Your document is not uploaded. What happens to your files

How it works

  1. Choose JPG or JPEG images.
  2. Arrange them and choose fitted, A4, or Letter pages.
  3. Build and download the PDF.

Key benefit

Original JPEG data is embedded without another lossy re-encode.

Supported files and key limits

Input: JPG/JPEG images. Output: PDF.

HEIC is not accepted, and the result is roughly the combined size of the source images.

Put the photos in order first

Phone photos rarely arrive in reading order, and a few of them will be sideways. Drag the images into sequence before you build, then check the result page by page. Pages are sized to each image by default, so nothing is cropped or resampled. Choose A4 or Letter if a filing system expects a standard page size. Each image is then scaled to fit inside a margin.

The PDF will be as big as your photos

JPG files are already compressed, so combining them will not make them smaller. Forty 4 MB photos will produce a PDF close to 160 MB. Build the PDF first, then compress it only if you have a real size limit.

PDFOak embeds each JPEG as it is instead of decoding and re-encoding it, so the pages are exactly as sharp as the photos. If the result has to fit under a portal’s limit, do that as a separate step with Compress PDF, where you can see what it costs. Very large batches can also reach your browser’s memory limit. If the tool warns you, build the PDF in two or three parts.

Sideways phone photos

A phone saves the pixels in the sensor’s orientation and adds an EXIF tag saying which way up to show them. Photo apps respect the tag. PDFOak does not apply it when it embeds the image, so a photo tagged “rotate 90°” can land on its side.

Build the document first, then turn the affected pages with Rotate PDF. That changes the page’s rotation and leaves the image untouched.

HEIC photos from an iPhone

Browsers cannot decode HEIC reliably, so this tool takes JPG. PNG files go through PNG to PDF. To get JPGs from an iPhone, set the camera to Most Compatible under Settings → Camera → Formats, or convert the existing photos first.
