Free JPG to PDF Converter

How to convert JPG to PDF

1. Drop your JPG files onto the box above, or click Choose files. PNG images can go in the same PDF too.
2. Put the images in order with the up and down arrows. Each image becomes one page, in the order shown.
3. Choose the page size: US Letter, A4 or the size of each image. With Letter or A4, orientation follows each image unless you fix it to portrait or landscape.
4. Pick a margin, then click Create PDF.
5. Download the PDF. Click Start over to make another one.

Photos and scans to PDF

PDF is what most offices, schools and online forms ask for when you submit documents. If you photographed receipts, a signed form or homework pages with your phone, putting them into one PDF makes them easy to send, print and archive, and keeps the pages in the right order.

The JPG data goes into the PDF as it is, without being compressed again, so the pages look exactly like your photos and the PDF is roughly as large as the images together. To make it smaller, shrink the photos first with Caesium, or compress the finished PDF in PDF24 Creator.

Choosing the page size

US Letter (8.5 × 11 inches) is the standard in the United States and the safest choice if the PDF will be printed there. A4 is the standard almost everywhere else. Both sizes scale each image to fit inside the margins without cropping or stretching it.

Same as image makes every page exactly the size of its photo, at 96 pixels per inch, with no white border. This looks best on screens, but pages of mixed sizes can print oddly.

Supported files and limitations

• Accepts JPG or PNG files. The format is checked from the file's contents, not only its extension.
• Up to 100 files at a time, 50 MB each and 200 MB in total.
• Images up to 50 megapixels and 16,384 pixels on the longest side. A decoded image needs about 4 bytes of memory per pixel, so a 50-megapixel photo takes around 200 MB while it is processed.
• Files are processed one at a time in a background thread, so the page stays responsive.

Photos keep their camera rotation: pages come out upright when the JPG has an orientation tag. In the rare case of a mirrored orientation, the image is re-encoded at high quality to fix it.

The text in a photographed page is not searchable or selectable; the PDF contains images. For searchable PDFs use a scanning app with text recognition, such as NAPS2, or the OCR tool in PDF24 Creator.

Privacy and security

Your files are opened and processed by your own browser. The ExeDepot server only delivers this page and its scripts; it never receives your files, their contents or their names. The page loads no third-party scripts or ads, and its Content Security Policy allows connections only back to exedepot.com.

Results exist only in your browser's memory until you download them, and they are discarded when you click Start over or close the tab. No online tool can promise perfect security, so keep your browser up to date, and for documents you would never put online consider an offline desktop app such as NAPS2.

Frequently asked questions

How do I combine several JPGs into one PDF?

Add all the images, arrange them with the arrows and click Create PDF. Each image becomes a page in the order shown.

Will the photos lose quality in the PDF?

No. JPG images are placed into the PDF without being re-compressed, so they keep their original quality.

Can I mix JPG and PNG files?

Yes. PNG images are accepted as well and keep their quality; transparent areas show the white page behind them.

Is there a watermark or page limit?

There is no watermark. You can add up to 100 images and 200 MB in total per PDF, a limit that keeps the browser responsive.

Are my scans uploaded anywhere?

No. The PDF is built by your browser on your device. That matters for IDs, contracts and other private documents.
