About JPG to PDF

Converting photos to PDF is mostly a layout problem, not a format problem. The questions that matter are how a 4:3 photo sits on a portrait A4 page, whether several images share a page, and whether the image gets re-compressed on the way in. This converter places each image on its own page, scaled to fit while preserving aspect ratio, and embeds the original JPEG data rather than decoding and re-encoding it — so the PDF is no blurrier than the photos you started with.

When to use JPG to PDF

Turning phone photos of documents into a submission

Photographing pages is faster than finding a scanner, but most portals only accept PDF. Convert the photos, in order, into a single document.

Receipt and expense claims

Finance systems generally want one PDF per claim. Converting photographed receipts keeps them legible and in a fixed order.

Sending images that must not be re-compressed

Messaging apps aggressively re-compress photos. Wrapping them in a PDF preserves the original image data end to end.

Limitations worth knowing

  • One image per page. Multiple photos on a single page is not currently supported.
  • Very tall or very wide images are scaled to fit the page, which can leave visible margins on the short edge.
  • No OCR is performed — the result is a picture of text, so the PDF will not be searchable. Use the OCR tool if you need selectable text.
  • Accepted inputs are JPG and PNG, each up to 50 MB.

Frequently asked questions

Will my photos lose quality when converted?+

No. The original JPEG data is embedded directly rather than decoded and re-encoded, so there is no generational quality loss. The PDF looks exactly as good as your source photos.

Can I put several photos on one page?+

Not at the moment — each image becomes its own page. If you need a contact-sheet layout, combine the images first in an image editor and convert the resulting single image.

Will I be able to search the text in my photographed documents?+

No. A photo of a page is an image, and converting it to PDF keeps it an image. To get selectable, searchable text you need optical character recognition — use the OCR tool for that.
