Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes — converting images to PDF is completely free, with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limits.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion happens entirely inside your browser using your device, so your images never leave your computer.
Which image formats are supported?
JPG/JPEG, PNG, HEIC/HEIF (the format iPhones save photos in), WebP, AVIF, BMP and GIF. You can mix them in one PDF. HEIC photos are decoded in your browser, so they work here even on Chrome, Edge and Firefox, which cannot normally open them.
How big will the PDF be?
The default, "Smaller file", resizes each photo to about 4 megapixels and re-compresses it — a 12 megapixel phone photo goes from roughly 1.6MB to under 300KB, with text still sharp enough to read and print. Choose "Original quality" if you want every photo embedded exactly as it is with no re-compression, which is right for archiving or printing at full size but produces a much larger file. "Smallest file" goes down to about 1.5 megapixels for something that only needs to be read on screen.
Can I put several images into one PDF?
Yes. Add as many images as you like and drag them into the order you want — each becomes a page.
Can I choose the page size?
Yes. Fit each page exactly to the image, or use A4 or US Letter with your choice of orientation and margins.
Will the image quality drop?
On the default setting photos are resized to about 4 megapixels and re-compressed, so the PDF is small enough to email — documents and photographs still look right, and text stays legible. If you would rather keep every pixel, choose "Original quality" and your images are embedded byte for byte with nothing re-compressed. The tool describes what each setting does before you convert.

Photos that said they were one thing and were another
Some phones — Samsung handsets in "high efficiency" mode, and several apps that pass a picture along to another app — save a photograph in Apple's HEIF format but label the file .jpg. Every tool here believed the label, handed the file to a JPEG reader that refused it, and told you your browser could not open that image format, which was both unhelpful and untrue. Photos are now identified by what is actually inside them rather than what the name claims, so a mislabelled photograph converts like any other. When something genuinely cannot be read, the message now names the format we found and what the browser said about it, instead of a shrug. And every picked file is read the moment you choose it rather than at the moment you press Convert, which closes a window in which a photo could quietly become unreadable in between.

Choose how big the PDF should be
Photos out of a phone are big — three of them make a PDF of about nine megabytes, which is more than most mail servers will send. Until now that was the only thing this tool would give you, because it embeds each picture exactly as it is and never re-compresses. That is still the default, and still the right answer when the pages are going to be printed or filed. But there is now a File size choice next to page size: Smaller file — now the default — resizes each photo to about four megapixels, which took a twelve-megapixel photograph of a document from 1.6MB down to 286KB in our testing with the text still crisp, and Smallest file goes down to 81KB for something that only has to be read on a screen. Choose Original quality to go back to embedding every photo exactly as it is. The tool says what each setting will do before you convert. If a picture is already small enough that re-compressing it would make it bigger — which happens more often than you would think — it is left alone, because a button marked "smaller" should never hand back something larger.

iPhone photos go straight into a PDF now
Photographs taken on an iPhone are saved as HEIC, a format Chrome, Edge and Firefox cannot open — so until now, dragging one into JPG to PDF or Scan to PDF got you nothing useful unless you were on a Mac. Both tools now decode HEIC themselves, using the same decoder that has always powered HEIC to JPG, so a photo taken on a phone converts on any browser without being re-saved first. The decoder is only fetched if a HEIC actually turns up; if you never use one, nothing extra is downloaded. Ordinary JPGs and PNGs are still embedded exactly as they are, with no re-compression. Samsung phones set to "high efficiency" save the same format and work the same way. And when an image genuinely cannot be read, the tool now names the file and says why, instead of "please try different files" — which was never much help.
