How to turn images into a PDF
- Add your images. Drop JPG, PNG or WebP files on the box above, or click to choose them. On a phone you can pick photos straight from your gallery.
- Arrange them. Each image becomes one page. Use ↑ and ↓ to set the order, and ✕ to remove one.
- Pick page size and margin. A4, US Letter or Fit to image, with no margin, a small one or a normal one.
- Create the PDF and download it. Page 1 is previewed so you can check the result.
Page size options explained
| Option | Best for |
|---|---|
| A4 (210 × 297 mm) | Documents, receipts and forms outside North America |
| US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) | Documents for the US and Canada |
| Fit to image | Screenshots, artwork, slides: no white borders |
With A4 and Letter, each page automatically turns to landscape when the image is wider than it is tall, and the image is scaled to fit inside the margins without being cropped or stretched.
Quality and file size
JPG and PNG files are embedded without recompression: what’s in the PDF is your original image data. That’s the right default for quality, but it also means a PDF made from five phone photos will be roughly the size of those five photos combined, often 10–20 MB.
If you need a smaller file:
- Compress the finished PDF with Compress PDF to 200 KB (photos of documents are converted to crisp black-and-white automatically), or
- Shrink the photos first with Compress Image, then convert.
Tips for photographing documents
- Use daylight and avoid shadows. Even lighting makes text easier to read and compress.
- Fill the frame with the page and keep the phone parallel to the paper to avoid a trapezoid shape.
- Crop before converting. Your phone’s built-in editor can crop away the table and background in seconds, and smaller images mean a smaller PDF.
- One page per photo. Then each photo becomes a clean page in the PDF.
Private by design
Your images are read and assembled into a PDF entirely inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and the finished PDF exists only on your device until you download it. That matters when the photos are of IDs, bank cards, medical letters or anything else you wouldn’t hand to a stranger’s server.

Supported image formats
JPG and PNG are embedded directly. WebP, GIF (first frame), BMP and, in most modern browsers, AVIF and other formats your browser can display are converted to high-quality JPG on the way in. Transparent areas in PNG files stay transparent on the page; in converted formats they become white.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting reduce image quality?
JPG and PNG images are placed into the PDF exactly as they are, without recompression. Other formats such as WebP are converted to high-quality JPG first, because not every PDF reader supports them.
Which page size should I choose?
A4 is standard in most countries; US Letter in the US and Canada. 'Fit to image' makes each page exactly the size of its picture, which is best for screenshots and digital artwork.
Can I put several images on one PDF?
Yes. Add as many images as you like; each becomes one page. Reorder them with the arrow buttons before creating the PDF.
The PDF is too big for my upload. What now?
Phone photos are large. Run the PDF through Compress PDF to 200 KB, or shrink the photos first with Compress Image.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The PDF is built in your browser on your own device. Your images are never sent to a server.
