How to convert JPG to PDF

Convert JPG to PDF in four steps

1. Open the JPG to PDF tool and drag your images into the upload area.
2. Check the file list — pages are created in exactly that order.
3. Select Convert now and wait for the progress bar.
4. Download the PDF and open it once to confirm the page order.

Get the page order right first

The converter creates one page per image, following the order of the file list. Cameras and phones usually name files sequentially, so adding them in one batch generally produces the right order. If your filenames are not sequential, rename them with a numeric prefix (01, 02, 03) before adding them.

Photograph documents so they convert well

• Shoot straight on rather than at an angle, so text is not distorted.
• Use even, indirect light — a hard shadow across the page hurts readability more than low resolution.
• Fill the frame with the page; empty margins waste file size.
• Avoid digital zoom, which reduces real detail.

Keep the PDF small enough to email

Modern phone photos are 3–8 MB each, so a ten-page scan can easily exceed a mail attachment limit. Compress the images before converting rather than after: reduce each photo to around 1600–2000 px on the long edge and 75–85% quality, which stays perfectly legible for text.

When a PDF is not the right answer

If the recipient needs to edit the content, a PDF of photographs is the worst possible format — the text is not selectable or searchable without optical character recognition. In that case send the original files, or retype the content.
