JPG to PDF Converter
Turn JPG pictures into a PDF while keeping their quality. With the “Original” setting your JPEG files go into the PDF byte for byte, so nothing is recompressed and nothing is uploaded.
🔒 Runs in your browser. Your files and text are not uploaded.
How to use the JPG to PDF
- Drop your JPG files on the box, or click to choose them. Put them in order with the ↑ and ↓ buttons.
- Under “Image resolution” choose Original — JPEGs embedded unchanged for the best quality.
- Choose the page size, such as A4, and a margin if you want a border.
- Press “Create PDF” and download the result.
Why “embedded unchanged” matters
A JPG is already compressed. If a converter decodes it and compresses it again to put it into a PDF, the picture loses a little more quality each time, and small text on a scan turns blurry first. PDF can store JPEG data directly, so a careful converter can place your file inside the PDF without touching the pixels. With the resolution set to “Original”, this tool does exactly that: the PDF is about as large as your JPG files combined, and the quality is identical to the originals.
The exception is a photo that carries a rotation flag, typical for pictures taken in portrait on a phone. PDF viewers ignore that flag, so those pictures are rotated upright and saved again at a high quality; the result row tells you what happened.
Common reasons to convert JPG to PDF
- Documents. Photographed contracts, receipts, forms, certificates and IDs that you need to send as one file.
- Applications. Many portals accept PDF for supporting documents but not for photos, and sometimes limit the file size; see the size limit option on the Image to PDF page.
- Printing. A PDF keeps the page size and margins fixed, so the printout looks the same on every printer.
- Archiving. One PDF with ordered pages is easier to store and share than twenty separate photos.
Choosing between Original and smaller sizes
Keep “Original” for scans and anything you might print. If the PDF turns out too large for an email or portal, switch to High, Medium or Small, or type a limit in KB, and the tool will resample the pictures and lower the quality as needed. A 12-megapixel phone photo is far more detailed than an A4 page can show, so High resolution (up to 2400 pixels on the long side, roughly 200 dpi on A4) usually looks identical on paper and is several times smaller.
Getting clean pages
Hold the phone parallel to the paper, use daylight, and avoid shadows from your hand. Straighten crooked photos with the Rotate tool and crop away the background with the crop tool. If a single picture has to meet a size limit before it goes into the PDF, you can reduce it first with Compress Image to 200 KB.
Frequently asked questions
Does JPG to PDF reduce the quality?
Not when you choose “Original”: the JPEG data is placed in the PDF unchanged. Other resolution settings resample the pictures to make the file smaller.
Can I put several JPG files into one PDF?
Yes. Add as many as you like (up to 60), arrange them and create one PDF.
What paper size should I choose?
A4 in most countries, US Letter in the United States and Canada, or “Same as each image” if the PDF will only be viewed on screen.
Why was my phone photo rotated and re-saved?
Because it had a rotation flag that PDF viewers ignore. The tool applies the rotation to the pixels so the page looks right.
Is it private?
Yes. Files are processed by your browser and not uploaded.
