JPG to PDF
Put your photos in order and turn them into a single PDF, on US Letter or A4 paper. Perfect when a form asks for one PDF file.
🔒 Your photos are never uploaded. The PDF is created inside your browser on this device.
How to combine photos into one PDF
Rental applications, job portals, insurance claims and school forms often say "upload a single PDF". Photos of your driver's license, a bank statement or a stack of receipts usually won't be accepted as loose image files. Add the photos here, put them in order and convert: each image becomes one page, centered on the paper. Images are scaled to fit without cropping, and any leftover space stays white.
Every image is redrawn during conversion, so sideways photos come out upright and transparent PNG backgrounds turn white. Your original files aren't changed. In the US and Canada, choose US Letter so the PDF prints cleanly on standard paper; most other countries use A4.
| Situation | Suggested settings | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Submitting ID or bank document copies | US Letter or A4 portrait · normal margin | Edges won't get cut off when printed |
| Upload size limit (e.g. 5 MB) | Smaller file | Shrinks to 1600 px on the long side at 75% quality |
| Mix of landscape receipts and documents | A4 (match photo orientation) | Each page turns portrait or landscape to suit the photo |
| Photo album or portfolio | Same as photo size · no margin | Photos fill the page with no paper border |
There's no automatic edge detection or perspective correction like a scanner app. For documents shot at an angle, tidy them up first with Crop Image. To go the other way and turn a PDF into images, use PDF to JPG, and to join your new PDF with others, use Merge PDF. More tools are on the PDF tools page.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change the order of the images?
After you add your images, an ordered list appears. Use the ↑ and ↓ buttons on each row to move an image, and ✕ to remove it. If your file names are numbered, one tap on "Sort by name" puts them in natural order (1, 2, 10). The top of the list becomes page 1 of the PDF, then page 2, and so on.
Can I convert iPhone photos (HEIC) to PDF?
Yes. HEIC, the iPhone's default photo format, is decoded to JPG right in your browser and placed in the PDF. Photos that show up sideways are straightened using their EXIF orientation. HEIC takes a little longer to decode, so expect a short wait with lots of photos.
What if the PDF is too large?
Switch quality to "Smaller file". Images are redrawn at 1600 pixels on the long side with 75% JPG quality, so 10 smartphone photos usually come in under 2–4 MB. If it's still too big, shrink the photos first with Compress Image, or run the finished PDF through Compress PDF.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Reading the images and building the PDF all happen inside your browser on this device, so even photos of IDs or bank documents are never sent to the CalcLab server.
