How to Convert Images to PDF
Converting images to PDF is the easiest way to share multiple pictures as a single document, attach scanned pages to an email, or create a quick photo album. This guide covers converting JPG, PNG, and WebP images to PDF, with tips on order, quality, and page size.
Which image formats can be converted?
The three most common image formats — JPG, PNG, and WebP — all convert to PDF cleanly. Each format has its own strengths, and you can mix them in a single PDF if needed.
JPG is the most common photo format. It uses lossy compression, which means small files but some quality loss. JPG is ideal for photographs and images with smooth gradients. Most phone cameras output JPG by default.
PNG is a lossless format that supports transparency. It's preferred for screenshots, logos, icons, and images with sharp edges or text. PNG files are larger than JPGs for photographic content but produce crisper results for graphics.
WebP is a modern format developed by Google that combines the best of JPG and PNG — small file sizes with support for transparency and animation. It's supported by all modern browsers and most image viewers, though some older tools don't recognize it.
Step-by-step: convert images to PDF in your browser
Open the JPG to PDF tool (which also accepts PNG and WebP) in any modern browser.
Drag your image files into the upload area, or click to browse and select multiple files. You can mix formats — JPG, PNG, and WebP all work together.
Reorder the images by dragging them in the upload list. The order you see is the page order in the final PDF.
Click the Convert to PDF button. The tool reads each image, places it on its own PDF page sized to match the image, and produces a single PDF file.
Click Download to save the PDF. The output is a standard PDF with no watermark.
Tips for best results
Sort your images by filename before uploading if you want them in a specific order. The tool preserves the order in which files were selected, but explicit naming (01-cover.jpg, 02-introduction.jpg) is more reliable.
For images that will be viewed on screen, the default resolution is fine. For images that will be printed, use higher-resolution sources — at least 150 DPI for the printed size you want.
If your images are very large (over 10 MB each), consider compressing them first. The PDF will be much smaller and faster to share, with no visible quality loss for screen viewing.
Mixing formats in the same PDF is fine. A common pattern is to use JPG for photographs and PNG for screenshots within the same document.
Mobile workflow: images to PDF on iPhone and Android
On iPhone, open this page in Safari, tap the upload area, and select photos from your photo library. You can select multiple photos at once by tapping each one. The conversion runs on-device, so it works even on a slow connection.
On Android, open this page in Chrome, tap the upload area, and select photos from your file manager or Google Photos. The workflow is identical to desktop — upload, reorder, convert, download.
For best mobile results, use Wi-Fi if you're working with many images. The actual conversion is local, but downloading the final PDF over a slow cellular connection can take time if the file is large.
On both platforms, the resulting PDF is saved to your device's Downloads folder (or Photos library on iOS, depending on your settings). From there, you can share it via email, messaging apps, or cloud storage.
