How to convert image to PDF

To convert image to PDF, add your pictures to the box above, put them in order and press Convert to PDF. Any common picture works: phone photos, screenshots, scans, PNG graphics, iPhone HEIC photos, WebP images from the web and SVG drawings, and you can even mix in pages from existing PDFs.

Everything happens in your browser, so your pictures are not uploaded. A live page preview shows exactly how each page will look, and you can crop, rotate and reorder before saving. One picture or five hundred, the result is a single tidy PDF that opens the same way everywhere.

  1. 1

    Add your images

    Choose files or a whole folder, drop them on the box, paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V, or take a photo with your phone camera.

  2. 2

    Arrange and crop

    Drag the pictures into order. Rotate, crop or remove any of them; crop keeps the original quality.

  3. 3

    Choose page and size

    Pick A4, Letter or Same as picture, a margin, and Original quality or a limit such as Under 100 KB.

  4. 4

    Convert and save

    Press Convert to PDF, check the preview, then download the PDF or share it from your phone.

The defaults suit nearly everything: one picture per page, a small white margin and original quality.

PDF or pictures: which should you send?

Should you send pictures or a PDF? Pictures are fine for a single photo in a chat. As soon as there are several pages, or the receiver will print, file or forward them, a PDF is better: the pages stay together in a fixed order, every page has the same size, and it opens the same way on every phone, computer and printer.

A PDF also says more about itself. It can carry a title, an author and keywords, page numbers and a watermark, and it can be protected with a password. Many offices, universities and government services only accept documents as PDF for exactly these reasons, which is why turning pictures into one is such a common job.

Every image format, one PDF

This tool accepts every image format people commonly use, and you can mix them in one PDF. Here is what to expect from each.

FormatTypical sourceHow it is handled
JPG / JPEGPhotos, scansCopied into the PDF unchanged, original quality
PNGScreenshots, graphics, signaturesLossless; transparent areas show the page colour
HEIC / HEIFiPhone and iPad photosConverted in your browser, no settings to change
WebP / AVIFImages saved from websitesConverted in your browser
GIF / BMPOld graphics, animationsFirst frame of an animation is used
TIFFOffice scanners, faxEvery page of a multi-page TIFF; converted on our server
SVGLogos, diagrams, iconsDrawn sharp at high resolution, transparency kept
PDFExisting documentsPages are mixed in with your pictures as they are

For one format only there are dedicated pages too, such as JPG to PDF, PNG to PDF, HEIC to PDF and SVG to PDF, but this page handles all of them at once.

Multiple images to PDF: combine images into one PDF

To turn multiple images to PDF, add them all together. Each picture becomes one page, in the order shown, and they are saved as a single document. There is no limit of a few files as with many free tools; you can add up to 500 pictures, or a whole folder at once with Add a folder.

To combine images into one PDF in the right order, drag the thumbnails, use Sort by name or date, or reverse the order in one click. Undo and Redo are always available. If you would rather have one PDF per picture, choose One PDF per picture in More options to get a ZIP.

You can also put several pictures on one page: set Pictures per page to 2, 4, 6 or 9 for ID cards, receipts or contact sheets, all laid out in a neat grid.

Image to PDF without losing quality

To keep every pixel, leave File size on Original quality. JPG photos are copied into the PDF byte for byte, with no re-compression, and PNG and other formats are stored losslessly, so every pixel of your picture survives. That is the honest way to make an image to PDF without losing quality: nothing is resized or re-saved behind your back.

Crop keeps that promise too. When you crop a picture, the full photo stays in the file at its original resolution and only the chosen part is shown on the page, so you can even un-crop later in a PDF editor. Rotation is likewise done by turning the page drawing, not by re-saving the pixels.

Crop each picture without losing quality

Cropping is the quickest way to make pictures look tidy in a document. Hover a picture (or tap it on a phone) and press the crop button. Drag the box to move it and drag its corners to resize it; the dark area outside the box is what will be hidden. Shapes such as Square, A4 portrait, A4 landscape and ID card keep the box in a fixed shape, Original keeps the shape of the photo, and Free lets you crop any shape at all.

Unlike most tools, the crop does not cut the pixels away. The full picture is stored in the PDF at its original resolution, and the page simply shows the part you chose, so nothing is lost and the edges stay sharp. A small Cropped label on the thumbnail reminds you which pictures have been cropped, and Reset in the crop window brings back the whole picture.

Choosing the page size

Same as picture makes every page exactly the size and shape of its picture, with no white border if you choose no margin. It is ideal for screenshots, artwork and photo albums, where the picture itself is the page.

A4 and Letter are the standard paper sizes for printing and for official uploads; A4 is used almost everywhere, Letter in the United States, Canada and parts of Latin America, and the tool picks the right one for your region on your first visit. Legal, A3 and A5 and a custom size in millimetres or inches are in More options. With Auto orientation, wide pictures get landscape pages and tall ones portrait pages, so nothing is shrunk more than it needs to be.

Image to PDF under 100KB, 200 KB or 1 MB

Online forms often limit uploads to 100 KB, 200 KB or 500 KB. For an image to PDF under 100KB, choose Under 100 KB in File size. The tool makes the pictures smaller step by step, in your browser, until the whole PDF fits, keeping them as sharp as the limit allows, and then confirms the final size.

For documents, Black & white or Auto enhance makes small limits much easier, and two pictures per page halves the number of pages. If a limit is simply too small for the content, the tool tells you instead of producing an unreadable file. Compress PDF can shrink a PDF you already have.

Screenshot to PDF in one paste

Making a screenshot to PDF is a common need: receipts, booking confirmations, chats or error messages you want to keep or send as one document. Take the screenshot, click on this page and press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac); the picture appears straight away, with no need to save it as a file first. Paste several screenshots one after another to build a multi-page PDF.

Screenshots are usually PNG, which is kept lossless, so text stays perfectly crisp. Choose Same as picture as the page size to get pages exactly the shape of your screen, or A4 to print them neatly. On a phone, pick the screenshots from your gallery and convert a whole series of them in one go.

Photo to PDF for documents: crop, enhance and OCR

A photo of a document is a picture like any other, but a few settings make the PDF look as if it came from a scanner. Crop each photo to the edges of the paper with the crop tool, then choose Auto enhance to brighten the paper and strengthen the text while keeping colours, or Black & white for crisp, small text documents.

Turn on Make text searchable (OCR) in More options to make the text inside the pictures selectable and searchable, in English, Hindi or Marathi; that step runs on our server and is labelled. To make a picture to PDF that looks professional, add page numbers, a light watermark such as COPY, and the author and subject in the document info.

Which picture format should you use?

If you are not sure which pictures to use, a few rules of thumb help. Photos of people, places and objects look best as JPG, which keeps the file small. Screenshots, charts and anything with sharp text look best as PNG, because PNG does not blur letters. Logos and diagrams are best as SVG, which stays crisp at any size.

You do not need to convert anything before adding it here: every format goes into the same PDF, and each is handled in the best way for that format. iPhone HEIC photos and WebP images from websites are converted in your browser; only multi-page TIFF files from office scanners are converted on our server.

Mix existing PDFs with your pictures

You are not limited to pictures. Add an existing PDF and its pages appear among your images, ready to be reordered, so you can put a scanned signature page after a typed contract, or attach photos of receipts to an expense report in one go. PDF pages are placed exactly as they are, without converting them to pictures.

If you only need to join several PDFs, Merge PDF has more options for that; to rearrange the pages of one PDF, Organize PDF is the right tool.

Common uses

Receipts and expenses

Photograph receipts, put four on each page and send one PDF to your accounts team or expense system.

Applications and forms

Combine photos of certificates, ID and signatures in the order a form asks for, under its size limit.

Homework and notes

Turn photos of handwritten pages into one Black & white PDF that teachers can open on any device.

Design and print

Put logos, mock-ups and SVG artwork on exact page sizes for printing or sending to a client.

Support and records

Paste screenshots of bookings, chats or errors one after another and keep them as a single dated PDF.

Portfolios and albums

Use Same as picture with no margin for borderless pages, a clean way to share a set of photos as one file.

Watermark, page numbers and document info

More options holds the finishing touches. Watermark text adds a light diagonal word such as CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT or COPY across every page. Page background sets the colour behind transparent pictures and margins, from white to any colour you like. Document info stores an author, a subject and keywords inside the PDF, which helps when it is shared online or filed in a document system.

You can also add page numbers, password-protect the PDF with AES-256 encryption, and pick the file name. Your choices are remembered for next time on this device, except the password.

How to save image as PDF on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android

Every device can turn a picture into a PDF in a basic way. Here is how, and when this page does it better.

Windows

Open the picture, press Ctrl+P, choose Microsoft Print to PDF as the printer and press Print. It handles one picture at a time with fixed margins.

Mac

Open the picture in Preview, choose File, then Export as PDF. To join several pictures, select them all first and use File, Print, then Save as PDF.

iPhone and iPad

In the Files app, select the pictures, tap More and choose Create PDF; in Photos, use Share, Print and spread two fingers on the preview.

Android

Open the picture, choose Print from the menu, set the printer to Save as PDF and tap the PDF button.

Built-in printing works for a single picture, but it cannot crop, reach a size limit, put two pictures on a page or reorder dozens of files. To save image as PDF with all of that, and with your pictures staying on your device, use this page on any computer or phone.

Picture to PDF on iPhone and Android

On an iPhone or Android phone, open this page in Safari or Chrome and tap Select images to pick photos from your gallery, or Use camera to photograph a document directly. iPhone HEIC photos work without changing any settings.

Drag the thumbnails with your finger to reorder them, tap a picture to rotate or crop it, choose a page size and tap Convert to PDF. Then download the PDF or tap Share to send it straight to WhatsApp, email or Google Drive. It is the quickest photo to PDF route on a phone, with no app to install.

Is it safe? Your pictures are not uploaded

Your pictures are not uploaded. Reading them, cropping, compressing to a size limit, adding watermarks and building the PDF all happen in your browser, on your own device. That matters for photos of ID cards, passports, medical reports and anything personal.

Three optional steps use our server and are labelled before you use them: converting TIFF files, making text searchable (OCR) and adding a password. Files sent to our server travel over an encrypted connection and are deleted straight after.

How it works

When you add pictures, they are read by code that runs inside this page. JPG and PNG files are kept exactly as they are; other formats are turned into one of those two in your browser, and iPhone photos are turned the right way up using the orientation stored in the photo. The page preview is drawn from the same layout rules the PDF uses, so what you see is what you get.

When you press the button, a background process builds the PDF page by page, placing each picture at the size and position shown, applying crops by clipping rather than cutting, and adding any watermark, page numbers and document information. Only if you chose a size limit are the pictures made smaller, step by step, until the file fits.

Keyboard and accessibility

Everything works with a keyboard as well as a mouse or finger. Press Tab to move between controls and Space or Enter to choose. To move a picture, focus it, press Space to pick it up, use the arrow keys and press Space again to drop it. Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y undo and redo, Ctrl+V pastes a picture, and Ctrl+Enter makes the PDF.

Screen readers announce each picture with its position, every button has a clear label, and progress and results are read out as they happen. The crop window can be closed with Escape.

Common problems and fixes

A photo is sideways

Photos are turned upright automatically; if one is still wrong, use its rotate button.

There is a dark border around a photo of a document

Use the crop tool to trim to the paper's edges, then Auto enhance.

The PDF is too big to upload

Choose a File size such as Under 200 KB, or 2 pictures per page, or Black & white.

An SVG looks wrong

Some SVG files use fonts or effects browsers cannot draw. Export it as PNG from your design tool and add that instead.

A transparent PNG has a white background

Choose another Page background colour in More options.

A PDF I added asks for a password

Remove the password with Unlock PDF first, then add the unlocked copy.

The order is wrong after adding a folder

Files from a folder are sorted by name. Use Sort, or drag the pictures into the order you want.

The watermark is missing some letters

The standard PDF fonts cover Latin letters only. Use English letters and numbers for the watermark text.

Tips for a clean PDF from pictures

Crop before you convert. Trimming away tables, fingers and shadows makes the PDF look clean and also makes the file smaller.

Use Same as picture for screenshots and artwork, and A4 or Letter for anything that will be printed or uploaded to an official form.

Check the page preview for order and orientation, especially with many pictures; it shows the real layout of every page.

Name the PDF before you send it. Change images.pdf in More options to something clear, such as the person, the document and the date, so it is easy to find later.

Keep the original pictures. The PDF is a new file, so you can always convert again with other settings. To turn a PDF back into pictures, use PDF to JPG.
