One page per picture, at the size of the picture. Nothing is re-compressed.
Choose some photos to put them in a PDF.
What it's for
Turn photos into one PDF, one picture per page — photos of an ID, receipts or signed pages that a form wants as a single file.
Before you start
Have the photos on this device as JPEG or PNG. If the PDF is going to anyone else, clean them with the Image Metadata Remover first: their location goes into the PDF too.
Choose the photos
Press Choose files and pick the photos, or drag them onto the box. Choosing again adds more to the end of the list, and Clear all starts over.
Put them in page order
The list is the page order: the first photo becomes page 1. Use ↑ and ↓ beside a photo to move it, or × to take it out.
Check the page count
Under the list, the page shows how many Pages the PDF will have — one page each, at the size of the picture. A file that is not a JPEG or PNG is named in a message below and left out.
Make the PDF
Press Make the PDF. The photos go in exactly as they are, so nothing comes out blurrier. If you change the list afterwards, the PDF is taken away and you press the button again.
Save it
Press Download the PDF. It saves as images.pdf; your photos are not changed.
Reading the result
If it goes wrong
One page per picture, at the size of the picture — not fitted to A4.
A photograph letterboxed onto a portrait sheet wastes most of the page and changes the proportions you chose. A page that is exactly the picture is what a scan-to-PDF produces and what people expect back.
And nothing is re-compressed. JPEGs and PNGs are embedded exactly as they are, so the PDF is as sharp as the pictures and no quality is lost on the way in. It is also why the PDF is roughly the size of the images added together — there is no magic compression step, and a tool producing a much smaller file threw something away.
And one thing is said here every time. Embedding an image carries its metadata with it, so a PDF built from photographs can contain the coordinates of where each one was taken. Run them through the Metadata Remover first if the document is going anywhere.
No. They are read from your disk into this browser tab and the PDF is assembled there. There is no upload and no server, which matters because the pictures people turn into a PDF are usually photographs of documents — an ID, a receipt, a signed page.

Only JPEG and PNG can be embedded without being redrawn. Accepting others would mean decoding and re-encoding them through a canvas, which makes the tool lossy for the sake of saving you one step. A WebP can be converted on the Image Resizer page first and brought back. A HEIC — what an iPhone saves unless the setting is changed — cannot: only Safari on Apple devices can read one. Set the iPhone’s Camera to Most Compatible, or share the photos out of the Photos app, which hands them over as JPEG.
Yes — the files are listed with arrows to move each one up or down, and that list is the page order. It is worth checking: a file picker hands back whatever order your operating system listed, which is rarely the order a document should be in.
Yes, if the photos do. Embedding an image carries its metadata with it, so a PDF built from photographs can contain the coordinates of where each one was taken. Run them through the Image Metadata Remover first if the document is going to anybody. The page says this every time rather than assuming you know.
Yes, and the transparency is kept — a PDF page has no background of its own, so it prints as white and composites as nothing. If you want a solid background, flatten the image before bringing it here.
A total size rather than a count, shown on the picker. Everything is held in this browser tab at once — the images and the document being built — so the limit is refused up front with a number rather than failing part of the way through.
Important
The images are read in your browser and nothing about them is transmitted or stored. They are embedded as they are — so whatever metadata they carry, including GPS coordinates, goes into the PDF with them. Nothing you type here is sent to our servers — the calculation runs entirely in your browser.
