Need to turn photos into a shareable document? Whether you're submitting scanned receipts, creating a photo portfolio, or combining evidence for a report, converting JPG to PDF gives you a proper document format that's easy to share, print, and organize.
This guide covers everything from single image conversion to combining dozens of photos into one organized PDF.
Why Convert Images to PDF?
Combine Multiple Photos
Stop sending 20 separate image attachments. Turn them into a single PDF where recipients can scroll through pages rather than clicking through files one by one.
Better Organization
PDFs keep images in a set order. Unlike a folder of JPGs that might sort differently on different devices, your pages stay exactly where you put them.
Professional Sharing
A PDF document looks more professional than a ZIP of loose images. Perfect for portfolios, proposals, and official submissions.
Easy Printing
PDFs handle page sizing and margins automatically. Print your photos as properly formatted pages without fiddling with image dimensions.
Document Scanning Workflow
Phone scanners often save as JPG. Convert those scans to PDF for a proper document format, then run OCR to make text searchable.

Tips for Better Results
Use High-Resolution Images
The PDF quality depends on your source images. For printing, use images at 300 DPI or higher. For screen viewing, 150 DPI is usually fine.
Consistent Orientation
Mix of portrait and landscape photos? You can either rotate images before uploading or use our tool to set per-page orientation.
Crop Before Converting
Remove unwanted borders or backgrounds from your images before conversion for cleaner PDF pages.
After Converting
Your image-based PDF might need some finishing touches:
- Run OCR if images contain text you want searchable
- Compress the PDF if file size is too large for email
- Add page numbers for easy reference
- Rotate pages if any came out sideways
- Crop margins for cleaner edges
- Add watermark to protect your images

Common Questions
How many images can I combine?
There's no strict limit. Combine as many images as you need into a single PDF. Very large collections may take a moment to process.
Will image quality be reduced?
No. We embed your images at their original quality. The PDF file size will roughly equal the total size of your source images.
Can I add images to an existing PDF?
Convert your images to PDF first, then use our Merge PDF tool to combine them with your existing document.
What about transparent PNG images?
PNG transparency is preserved. Transparent areas appear as white in the PDF (since PDFs don't support page transparency).
