How to Convert JPG to PDF Free (One or Many Images)

To convert a JPG to PDF, open the free JPG to PDF converter, choose your image (or up to 50 of them), pick a page size and margin, and click Create PDF. Each image becomes one page, in the order shown, and you download a single PDF. It's free, needs no account, and your images are turned into a PDF on your device without being uploaded.

Step by step

1. Open the free JPG to PDF converter.
2. Click Choose images or drag them onto the box. JPG, PNG and WebP work, as do GIF, BMP and AVIF. You can add up to 50 images, each up to 50 MB.
3. Check the order. Each image shows a small thumbnail and a number. Use ↑ and ↓ to move it, or Remove to take it out. Add more images adds to the end of the list.
4. Choose a Page size: A4 (selected by default), US Letter or Same as image.
5. Choose a Margin: None, Small (selected by default) or Large.
6. Click Create PDF. The page count and file size appear next to the button.
7. Click Download PDF. It saves as images.pdf; rename it to something meaningful.

Which page size to pick

Page size	Best for	What happens
A4 (210 × 297 mm)	Most of the world, including India, the UK and Europe; anything that might be printed	Each image is scaled to fit inside the page and centred
US Letter (8.5 × 11 in)	Documents for the US and Canada	Same, on a Letter page
Same as image	Screen viewing, artwork, screenshots	Each page is exactly the shape of its image, with no empty space beyond the margin

With A4 or Letter, a landscape (wide) image automatically gets a landscape page, so it fills the page instead of shrinking into a thin strip. Images are never stretched; they keep their proportions.

If you're printing, A4 or Letter is the safer choice, because the printer won't have to guess how to scale a page of unusual size. For a file people will only read on screen, Same as image with None margin looks the cleanest.

Which margin to pick

• None: the image fills the page width or height, whichever it reaches first, with no border on those edges. Good for photos and screenshots.
• Small: a thin white border, about 7 mm. A good default for documents and receipts.
• Large: about 14 mm. Use this if the PDF will be printed and you don't want the printer cutting off the edges, or if there's a chance someone will hole-punch or staple it.

Quality and file size

The converter places your images at full quality. JPG and PNG files usually go into the PDF untouched, without being recompressed. WebP, GIF, BMP and AVIF images, and phone photos stored sideways, are redrawn as high-quality JPG (about 92%) first. Either way, the PDF looks just as sharp as your photos.

The flip side is size. The PDF will be roughly as big as all your images added together. Ten phone photos at 3-4 MB each make a PDF of 30-40 MB, which is too big for many email services and upload forms.

If you need a smaller file, shrink the images before converting:

1. Run them through the free image compressor. Choose JPG as the output format and a quality around 70-80%.
2. Then convert the smaller images to PDF.

For a strict size limit, also make the images smaller in pixels with the free image resizer. A document photo around 1200-1600 pixels wide is still easy to read on a page. Our guide to scanning documents for online forms goes through this in detail.

Adding images to an existing PDF

The converter only makes new PDFs from images. To add photos to a PDF you already have, convert the photos first, then join the two PDFs with the free PDF merger. See our guide to merging PDF files.

Sideways photos

Phone cameras store some photos sideways with a note saying which way is up. The converter reads that note and places the photo upright. A very large sideways photo (above about 16.7 megapixels, such as a 24 MP or 48 MP phone mode) can't be turned upright and is refused as "too large for this device"; shrink it with the free image resizer first. If a photo still ends up sideways in the PDF, it was taken that way; fix the whole page afterwards with the free PDF rotator.

Going the other way

Need images out of a PDF instead? That's the free PDF to JPG converter. Our guide to converting a PDF to JPG explains the quality options.

Private and quick

Because the PDF is built in your browser, there's no upload or download wait for your photos, and personal images such as ID cards never leave your device. It works the same on a laptop or a phone; if you're on a phone, see turning phone photos into one PDF.
