JPG to PDF

Why none of this leaves your device

Think about what people actually turn into PDFs. Passports and visas. Bank statements for a loan application. Degree certificates. Rental agreements with a signature on them. Medical letters. Almost every one of those is a document you would not hand to a stranger.

An online converter that works the ordinary way asks you to do exactly that. Your file goes to a server you know nothing about, in a country you were not told, and is processed and stored for some period described in a policy nobody reads. Most of those services are honest. You have no way of checking which ones.

This page removes the question. The conversion runs in your browser, using the image decoder your browser already has and a PDF writer that is part of the page. No file is transmitted, so there is nothing on our side to store, scan, sell or lose. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it will still work, which is the simplest proof there is.

What people use this for

• Application forms that want a single PDF and give you a 2MB limit, when what you have is six photographs of documents.
• Expense claims, where a folder of receipt photos has to arrive as one file.
• Signed pages photographed on a phone, put back together in the right order.
• Portfolios and proofs, where the page size and the margin matter more than the file size.

Why the file size barely changes

Because nothing is recompressed. A PDF made from four JPEGs is those four JPEGs plus a few kilobytes of structure. If you need it smaller, make the JPGs smaller first with our image compressor, then build the PDF: compressing the pictures is the only thing that moves the number.

If something does not look right

The pages came out in the wrong order

Files are added in the order the browser hands them over, which for a multiple selection is not always the order you clicked. Every row is numbered and has arrows, so set the order before you build rather than after.

There is a white border I did not want

That is the margin. Set it to none, or choose to fit the page to the image, which makes the page exactly the size of the picture and leaves no border at all.

The image looks small on the page

A picture is scaled to fit inside the margins without changing its shape, so a very wide photograph on a portrait page leaves space above and below. Set the orientation to match each image, or fit the page to the image.

My iPhone photos will not open

iPhones save as HEIC, and only Safari can decode it. On an iPhone or a Mac this page will read them normally. In Chrome or Firefox on a desktop it cannot, because the browser has no HEIC decoder. Convert them with our HEIC to JPG page in Safari first, or set your iPhone to save as JPEG under Settings, Camera, Formats, Most Compatible.

The PDF is bigger than I expected

It will be about the size of the images that went into it, because they are not recompressed. Ten photographs of four megabytes make a forty megabyte PDF. Compress them first if there is a limit.

My scan is sideways

Some cameras record the rotation as metadata rather than rotating the pixels, and not every browser applies it. If a page comes out on its side, rotate the image in your photo app and drop it in again.

Free, with no account and no watermark

There is no sign-up, no daily limit and no watermark stamped across the corner. There is no paid tier holding back the page size or the number of files, because the conversion costs us nothing to provide: it runs on your computer, not ours.

The downloaded file keeps your own name. One image called passport-front.jpg becomes passport-front.pdf, and several files become converted.pdf. Nothing is added to the name and nothing is added to the document.

If you need the PDF smaller, compress the images before you build it. Our image compressor takes an exact target in kilobytes, and a PDF built from smaller pictures is a smaller PDF. That is the only lever there is, because nothing else in the file is large enough to matter.
