Image to PDF Converter
Convert any image to a PDF, free and without uploading it. JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and SVG — one image or a hundred, combined into a single document with the page size, margins and quality you choose.
Drop your images here
JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF and SVG. Add as many as you like — they become the pages, in the order you arrange them.
Your files never leave this device. The PDF is built in your browser.
Most image-to-PDF sites upload your pictures to a server, convert them there and hand back a download link. That is a sensible way to build the feature and a poor way to handle a scanned passport, a payslip or a signed contract — the file has left your machine, and what happens to it next is a policy question rather than a technical one.
This converter does the work in the page you are reading. Your browser decodes each image, lays it out and writes the PDF locally, so nothing is transmitted and there is no queue to wait in. Once the page has loaded you can disconnect entirely and it will still work.
Working locally also makes the live preview possible. Every other converter asks you to choose a page size, a margin and a fit mode, then produces a file you have to open to discover you chose wrong. Here the page is drawn as you configure it, using the same layout maths that writes the PDF — so what you see is what gets saved.
The trade-off is memory: everything is held in RAM, so a batch of very large images can run a tab out of headroom where a server would not. In practice that ceiling is high enough for ordinary documents, and lowering the resolution setting pushes it much further.
How to convert an image to PDF
-
1. Add your images
Drag them onto the drop zone or choose them from your device. JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF and SVG all work, and you can add as many as you like.
-
2. Put them in the right order
Each image becomes a page, in the order shown. Drag a thumbnail to move it, or sort the whole batch by filename or date — the filename sort reads numbers properly, so scan2 comes before scan10.
-
3. Straighten anything sideways
Rotate individual images a quarter turn at a time. A photo taken in portrait that arrived on its side is fixed here, not in another app.
-
4. Set the page up and watch it
Choose A4, Letter, A3, A5, Legal, Tabloid, square, or a page that matches each image exactly. Set the margin, decide whether the image fits inside the page or fills it, and pick one, two or four images per page. The preview redraws as you go.
-
5. Choose the quality
Resolution controls the file size more than anything else: 150 DPI is right for printing, 72 for screen, or keep every original pixel. Leave the format on automatic and photographs are stored as JPEG while screenshots and line art stay lossless.
-
6. Convert and download
Press Convert. The PDF is assembled in your browser and saved straight to your device — no queue, no link, no watermark.
Choosing a page setup
Fit to image gives every page the exact shape of its picture. Nothing is cropped and there are no borders, which is what you want for a photo album, a comic or anything that will only ever be read on a screen. It is the wrong choice for printing, because a printer expects a standard sheet.
A4 or US Letter with automatic orientation is the right default for anything destined for paper or an email attachment. Each page takes the orientation of its own image, so a landscape photo does not end up shrunk into an upright page.
Fit inside keeps the whole image visible and fills the leftover space with the background colour. Fill the page leaves no empty space but crops whatever hangs over the edges, taking the centre of the image — good for a full-bleed photo book, risky when the important part is near a corner.
Getting the file size down
Resolution matters far more than quality. A 24-megapixel phone photo placed on an A4 page at 150 DPI needs under 1.5 megapixels to print perfectly sharply — the other 22.5 are detail the paper cannot reproduce, and they are most of the file. The converter discards them before encoding rather than embedding them and letting a viewer scale down, which is the single biggest difference between a 400 KB PDF and a 12 MB one. Only once resolution is right is it worth lowering JPEG quality, and it is never worth forcing PNG on a photograph.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert an image to PDF for free? +
Add the image above and press Convert to PDF. That is the whole process — there is no account, no daily limit, no watermark on the output and no paid tier holding back the options. Every setting on this page is available to everyone.
Are my images uploaded to a server? +
No. Your browser decodes each image, draws it to a canvas and assembles the PDF locally. Nothing is transmitted, nothing is stored, and once this page has loaded you can disconnect from the network entirely and it still works. That is the reason this is a reasonable place to convert a passport scan, a payslip or a signed contract, and an upload-based converter is not.
Can I combine several images into one PDF? +
Yes, and that is the normal case rather than a special one. Add as many images as you like and each becomes a page in the order you arrange them. Drag the thumbnails to reorder, or sort the batch by filename or date. If you would rather have separate files, tick "Save each image as its own PDF" and you get a ZIP of individual PDFs instead.
Which image formats can I convert? +
Anything your browser can decode: JPG and JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF and usually SVG. Support comes from the browser rather than from this page, so a recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari covers all of them.
Can I convert HEIC photos from my iPhone? +
Usually not directly, and it is worth being plain about why. HEIC is the format iPhones save in by default, and no browser except Safari can decode it — so on Chrome or Firefox those files are skipped rather than silently mangled. Two easy ways round it: in iOS, Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible makes the phone shoot JPEG from then on; or share the photos to yourself via Mail or WhatsApp, which converts them to JPEG in transit. Opening this page in Safari on a Mac or iPhone also works.
How do I convert JPG to PDF in A4 size? +
Set page size to A4 and leave orientation on automatic, which gives each page the orientation of its own image so landscape photos are not forced upright. Choose "Fit inside" so the whole picture is visible with the margin around it, or "Fill the page" if you want no white space and are happy for the edges to be cropped.
Why is my PDF so large, and how do I make it smaller? +
Almost always resolution. A modern phone photo is around 12 to 50 megapixels, and printing it on A4 uses roughly 1.5 of them — the rest is detail no screen or printer will ever show, and it is most of the file. Drop the resolution to 150 DPI for print or 72 for screen and the file typically shrinks several times over with no visible difference. Lowering JPEG quality helps after that, and switching format away from PNG helps if you had forced it.
What does the automatic format setting actually do? +
It looks at each image and picks the format that suits it. JPEG puts ringing around hard edges, so it damages text, screenshots and line art; PNG is lossless but costs several times more on a photograph. The tool measures how much colour variety an image has — a photograph has a great deal, a screenshot or a scanned form has almost none — and chooses per image, so a mixed batch gets the right treatment throughout instead of one compromise applied to everything.
Will transparent PNGs come out right? +
Yes. A transparent image is kept lossless so its transparency survives, and it sits over whatever background colour you chose for the page. If you force JPEG, which has no transparency at all, the image is composited onto that background colour first — which is what stops a logo arriving with a black surround, the usual failure of converters that skip this step.
Can I put more than one image on a page? +
Yes — one, two or four per page, with an adjustable gap between them. Two per page suits receipts and ID documents; four makes a contact sheet. The grid follows the page shape, so a portrait page stacks two images vertically while a landscape page sets them side by side.
Is there a limit on how many images or how large they can be? +
No limit is imposed by the tool. The real ceiling is your device memory, because everything is held in the browser rather than on a server — a very large batch of high-resolution photographs can exhaust a tab. If that happens, lower the resolution setting or convert in two batches. Individual images above roughly 80 megapixels are skipped, since decoding those tends to take the tab down.
Does the PDF have a watermark? +
No. There is no watermark, no footer, no trailing advert page and no sign-up. The document contains your images and nothing else, apart from page numbers and document details if you deliberately turn them on.
Can I add a title and author to the PDF? +
Yes. Open "Add document details" and fill in the title, author, subject and keywords. These are written into the PDF properties, where a search index, a document management system or the file inspector in your operating system will read them. Setting a title also names the downloaded file.
Does it work on a phone? +
Yes. The layout adapts, and on a phone the file picker offers your camera roll directly — so photographing a document and converting it takes a few seconds without installing anything. Bear in mind that phones have less memory than laptops, so large batches are more likely to need the lower resolution settings.
