How to Convert JPG to PDF (One Image or Many)

To convert JPG to PDF, add your images, drag them into order, choose the page size and click Convert. Each image becomes one page, and you can combine up to 100 in a single PDF.

Many forms ask for a document as a PDF: an ID scan, a receipt, proof of address, a homework page. But what you have is a photo or a handful of screenshots. Converting JPG to PDF takes seconds, and you do not need any software.

This guide shows how to turn one or many images into a PDF, how to pick the right page settings, and a few tips for photos that look clean.

How do I convert JPG to PDF?

1. Open JPG to PDF.
2. Click Select images, or drop your photos onto the page.
3. Drag the images into the order you want. Each image becomes one page. You can also use the Move left and Move right buttons, or Remove an image you do not need.
4. Choose your page settings (see below).
5. Click Convert to PDF, then Download PDF.

Your photos never leave your device, because everything happens in your browser.

Which image types work?

You can add JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP images, up to 100 at a time. Anything else is skipped, and the tool tells you which files could not be used.

What page settings can I choose?

• Page size: Same as image makes each page exactly the size of its picture. A4 and US Letter use standard paper sizes, which is best if you plan to print.
• Orientation: Auto picks portrait or landscape to suit each image. You can also force Portrait or Landscape.
• Margin: None, Small or Big. A margin leaves a white border around the picture, which looks neater on printed pages.

For documents you will print or submit, A4 or US Letter with a small margin is a good default. For screenshots, Same as image keeps every pixel.

How do I put several photos in one PDF?

This is one of the most useful tricks. Add all your images at once, then drag them into order. For example, when you apply for something that needs both sides of a card, or several pages of a form, you can put them in a single file instead of sending five attachments.

If you already have separate PDFs to combine later, see How to merge PDF files. And if the pages came from a scanner, read How to combine scanned documents into one PDF.

How can I get the cleanest result?

• Photograph in good light. Natural daylight or a bright lamp avoids shadows across the page.
• Hold the camera straight. Photograph from directly above the page so the text is not slanted.
• Fill the frame. Get close enough that the page fills the picture, but keep all four corners in view.
• Use a plain background. A dark table behind a white page makes the edges clear.
• Check the order. Look at the page order before you convert, because that is the order of your PDF.

How do I convert a photo to PDF on a phone or computer?

The PDFixed tool works in the browser on any device, including phones and tablets. There are also built-in options:

• Windows: open the image, choose Print, and select Microsoft Print to PDF.
• Mac: open the images in Preview, choose File → Print, then Save as PDF from the PDF menu.
• iPhone and iPad: in the Files app, press and hold the selected images, then choose Create PDF.

Built-in options are fine for a single image. A tool that lets you reorder, resize and set margins is better when you have several pages.

Can I make the text in my photo searchable?

A PDF made from a photo is still just a picture, so you cannot search or copy the words in it. To turn it into text you can search and copy, run it through OCR PDF after converting.
