Images to PDF

Several photos as one document - upright, in the order you want.

How to do it

  1. Pick your pictures

    Drop them in or choose them - several at once.

  2. Set the order

    Drag the rows or use the arrows. The order is the page order.

  3. Page size and margin

    A4 with a 10 mm margin suits receipts and applications. "Same shape as the picture" leaves no white bars.

  4. Create the PDF

    One document, one picture per page.

What this is for

Five photographed receipts, both sides of an identity card, a certificate in three shots: the office at the other end wants one document, not five attachments. That is what this is for.

Phone photos come out upright. That sounds obvious and is not. A picture taken in portrait is stored sideways with a note saying how to turn it. Every program honours that note - except a PDF viewer, which does not read it. So rather than turning the picture, this turns the page: the photo goes in untouched and still stands the right way up.

And it stays as sharp as it was. JPG pictures are embedded unchanged - byte for byte the same file, not recalculated. The document is therefore about as large as your pictures together, and nobody can see a second round of compression in the result.

The page follows the picture: a landscape shot gets a landscape page, a portrait one a tall page. The picture is fitted, never cropped - a white border beats a cut-off stamp.

Common questions

No. The document is built in your browser. For copies of identity documents and receipts especially, that is the difference that matters.

Yes. A picture taken in portrait is stored sideways and carries only a rotation note - which a PDF viewer does not read. Instead of recalculating the picture, it is placed rotated on the page: the file stays untouched and the page stands the right way up.

With JPG, about as large as your pictures together: they are carried across byte for byte, so hardly anything is added.

With PNG it grows, for a reason nobody expects: a PDF does not know the PNG format at all. The pixels have to be unpacked and packed again - losslessly, but without the tricks that make a PNG file small. Measured on a 4.3 MB picture: 5.8 MB in the document, a good third more. Above two megabytes the tool points that out.

Because for screenshots and graphics that would be the wrong call: text and crisp edges look considerably worse as JPG. It pays off for photographs and not for screen captures - and only you can know which it is. There is a separate tool for converting; the link is under this one.

JPG and PNG go into the document unchanged. HEIC from an iPhone, WebP, AVIF and GIF are converted first - a PDF can only hold JPG and PNG. The tool tells you afterwards how many pictures that affected.

Never. It is fitted into the page and centred. Where the proportions do not match the page, some white is left at the top and bottom or at the sides. Pick "same shape as the picture" if you would rather not have that.

No, one picture per page. This is not meant for contact sheets or collages.
