What does "JPG to PDF" do?
It takes one or more images — JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF, or WebP — and assembles them into a single PDF where each image becomes a page. The order you arrange the images in determines the page order. The result is a normal, share-ready PDF that opens in any reader, on any device.
PDFtez gives you control over the output layout:
- Page size. A4, US Letter, A3, A5, or "Fit to image" (the page exactly matches the image's dimensions, no borders).
- Orientation. Portrait, landscape, or "Auto" (each page picks the orientation that fits its image best).
- Margin. 0 to 50 mm of white space around the image on each page. The default of 10 mm is a sensible printer-safe margin.
When to use JPG to PDF
Converting images to a PDF is the right tool whenever images need to be sent or stored as a single document:
- Submitting photo evidence. Insurance claims, warranty support, and rental inspection forms often ask for a single PDF of photos rather than 12 separate attachments.
- Visa, passport, and ID applications. Many government and consular sites require scanned IDs and photos combined into one PDF.
- Sending phone scans. Document-scanner apps on your phone produce JPGs; combining them into a PDF is the standard expectation when emailing to a real-estate agent, bank, or employer.
- Creating photo portfolios or product sheets. A photographer's print portfolio or a small product catalogue is much easier to share as one PDF than as a folder of images.
- Combining receipts. Phone-captured receipts for an expense claim look messy as individual JPGs; turn them into a single multi-page PDF that matches one expense claim.
- Archiving photos with notes. Send a small set of dated, captioned event photos to family members or colleagues as a single PDF — easier than a shared folder for occasional recipients.
How PDFtez builds the PDF (under the hood)
PDFtez's JPG to PDF tool runs entirely inside your browser. When you drop images, they are read into your browser's memory using the standard File API. Each image is then handed to pdf-lib, which embeds it into a new PDF document — JPGs are embedded directly using the JPEG-in-PDF mechanism (no re-encoding, no quality loss), and PNGs/BMPs/GIFs/WebPs are decoded once and embedded.
For each image, PDFtez creates a new page at the requested size, scales the image to fit within the margin you chose, and centres it. When you select "Fit to image", PDFtez instead creates a page exactly the size of the image with no border at all — useful for photo books or borderless prints.
No upload, no server, no logging. Even the image data stays entirely in your browser's memory.
How is PDFtez JPG to PDF different?
Most online image-to-PDF tools (iLovePDF, SmallPDF, PDF24) upload your images to a server, do the assembly, and serve back the result. Some impose a daily limit on the number of files; some add a watermark on the free tier. PDFtez does the conversion locally — no upload, no limit, no watermark — and offers more layout control than most free tools (including "Fit to image" for borderless output and "Auto" orientation for mixed portrait/landscape image sets).
Compared to printing-to-PDF from an image viewer (which works on most operating systems), PDFtez handles multi-image batches natively — you don't need to select-all-then-print and you can reorder before generation.
Frequently asked questions
Which image formats are supported?
JPG/JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, and WebP. HEIC (Apple's iPhone photo format) is not natively supported — most modern iPhones automatically convert HEIC to JPG on share, so you usually don't notice. If you have a HEIC file that doesn't load, open it in Preview/Photos on your phone and re-export as JPG.
Will the images stay sharp / not get re-compressed?
JPGs are embedded into the PDF exactly as they are — same bytes, same quality, no re-compression. PNGs and other formats are decoded into the PDF and re-encoded; the visual result is identical at any sensible zoom level, though the file may be slightly larger because PDF embeds the image losslessly. For very large photo books, consider compressing the final PDF with Compress PDF.
Can I reorder images after dropping them?
Yes. Each image gets an up and down arrow in the file list — click to move it through the order. The list order is exactly the page order in the output PDF. You can also remove images you don't want with the ✕ button before generating.
How many images can I combine at once?
There's no hard limit. A few hundred images works fine on a modern laptop. Very large photo collections (1,000+ high-resolution JPGs) may hit your browser's memory ceiling — split them into smaller batches and merge the resulting PDFs with Merge PDF.
Does the output PDF contain searchable text?
No. Images are images — there is no text in them. If you need searchable text in the PDF (e.g. for archiving scanned documents), you would need to run OCR after generation. OCR is on the PDFtez roadmap; in the meantime, Google Docs or Adobe Acrobat can perform OCR on a generated image PDF.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes — Safari on iOS and Chrome on Android both work. On a phone, the most useful workflow is: take photos with your camera (or scan a document with a scanner app), share them to your browser tab open at PDFtez, generate the PDF, then save or email it. No app install required.
