How to convert JPG to PDF
- Choose your files. Click Select File or drag your JPG files into the upload box. You can add many at once.
- Pick the settings. PDF is already selected as the output format. The conversion starts as soon as a file is added.
- Download. Each file appears in the list when it is ready. Download them one by one, or all together with Download all.
Why convert JPG to PDF?
PDF is the expected format for sending photographed documents, receipts, certificates, ID cards and assignments. A PDF opens the same on every device and is accepted by most official portals and email-based applications.
When to keep the JPG
Keep the JPG if you only want to share the picture; PDF adds nothing for ordinary photos.
Tips for the best result
- Each JPG becomes a page the same size as the picture. With several JPGs, Download all asks whether you want one PDF or separate PDFs.
- Crop and straighten document photos in your phone gallery first for a cleaner PDF.
- Phone photos are turned upright automatically.
Common problems and fixes
- I wanted all pictures in one PDF.
- Convert all the pictures together, then choose Download all and pick One PDF. The pages follow the order of the list.
- The PDF is large.
- The PDF contains the full JPG. Make the JPG smaller first with Compress JPG, then convert.

JPG – Joint Photographic Experts Group
JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely used format for photographs. It uses lossy compression, which keeps files small by discarding fine detail the eye is unlikely to miss. It does not support transparency or animation, and virtually every device, browser and app can open it.

PDF is the standard format for documents that must look the same on every device. It preserves layout, fonts and images, but is difficult to edit.

Frequently asked questions
Will the text in my photo be searchable?
No. The PDF contains the picture of the page; text recognition (OCR) is not applied.
What page size is the PDF?
The page matches the size of the image, so nothing is cropped or stretched.
Can I convert JPG to PDF on my phone?
Yes. Open this page in your phone browser, tap Select File and choose photos from your gallery. With several photos, Download all lets you save them as one PDF or as separate PDFs.
How do I convert a photo to PDF for an online form?
Select the photo here and download the PDF. If the form has a size limit, compress the JPG first with a lower Quality or a Resize option, then convert it to PDF.
How do I convert JPG to PDF?
Click Select File or drop your JPG file onto the upload box. The converted PDF appears in the list below with a download button. You can add many files at once and download them together as a ZIP.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark. To keep the service available for everyone there is a 95MB limit per file and a cap on how many files one connection can process in a short period.
Are my files stored?
Your upload is used only to make the converted file. Images are processed in memory; other files are written to a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes. Nothing is kept after the result has been sent back.
Will quality drop?
For images, a little, by design: the image is re-encoded at the Quality you choose (default 75%). Audio and video are re-encoded with high-quality settings; documents keep their text and layout as far as the target format allows. Converting never restores detail that is already missing from the original.
How this works: your file is uploaded over HTTPS and converted on this server with open-source engines (libvips for images, FFmpeg for audio and video, LibreOffice and Pandoc for documents, Calibre for ebooks, Ghostscript and Inkscape for PDF and vector files). Images are processed in memory; other files use a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes.
