Are my photos uploaded?

No. The images are read and the PDF is built in your browser, on your own device. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else, and nothing is stored. That matters more here than almost anywhere: the images people convert to PDF are usually photographs of passports, payslips, bank statements and signed forms.

Why are my phone photos the right way up here when other converters turn them sideways?

A phone held sideways stores the picture as the sensor saw it plus a tag saying which way to rotate it. Browsers honour that tag; PDF has no equivalent, so a converter that copies the raw image gets a sideways page. This page checks whether the tag is doing any work and, where it is, saves the rotated version instead.

What formats can I use?

JPG, PNG and WebP. JPG and PNG are placed into the PDF exactly as they are, with no re-encoding, so nothing is lost. WebP has to be converted first, because the PDF format has no way to store it.

Should I choose A4 or fit the page to the image?

A4 if the PDF is going to be printed, posted or filed, which is most of the time: every page comes out the same size and prints without surprises. Fit the page to the image if it is going to be read on a screen, such as a set of screenshots, where a page shaped like the picture wastes no space and stays pixel for pixel what it was.

Does it reduce the quality?

Not for JPG and PNG, which are stored exactly as they arrived. The PDF is therefore roughly the size of the images added together, so twenty phone photos make a large file. WebP images, and any photo that had to be rotated, are re-encoded once as high quality JPEG.

The pictures stay on your computer

Think about what people actually convert to PDF: a photograph of a passport for a landlord, a payslip for a mortgage broker, a signed form for an employer, a receipt for an expense claim. Those are the documents you would least like sitting on an unknown server, and they are exactly what the popular converters ask you to upload.

This page builds the PDF in your browser. The images are read from your own disk, the file is assembled in memory, and the result is handed straight back to you. There is no upload, no queue, no account, and no copy anywhere else.

Sideways photographs, and why they happen

This is the commonest complaint about image to PDF tools, and it has a specific cause. When you hold a phone sideways, the camera does not rotate the picture. It saves what the sensor saw and adds a small tag, called the EXIF orientation, that says "turn this a quarter turn before showing it". Every browser and photo app honours the tag, so on your phone the picture looks correct.

PDF has no such tag. A converter that copies the image bytes straight in produces a page rotated a quarter turn, which is why so many of them do. This page checks each image for the problem by decoding it both ways and comparing, and where the tag is doing real work it saves the corrected picture instead of the original. Nothing else is touched.

A4 or the shape of the picture

A4 is the right default for anything going to a person or a printer. Every page is the same size, the image is centred inside the margin, and it is scaled down to fit but never blown up past its own resolution, because enlarging a small picture to fill a page only makes it look worse. Landscape is the same thing turned round, for wide images.

Fit each page to its image makes every page exactly the size of the picture on it. Pages then vary in size and shape, which is wrong for printing and right for screens: a set of screenshots stays pixel for pixel what it was, with no border and nothing scaled.

Quality, and the size of the result

JPG and PNG images are placed into the PDF exactly as they arrived. Nothing is re-encoded and nothing is lost, which also means the PDF is roughly as large as the images added together. Twenty photographs from a modern phone make a file of twenty to eighty megabytes, and that is not the tool being wasteful, it is what the photographs weigh.

Two cases are re-encoded once, as high quality JPEG: WebP images, which PDF cannot store at all, and any photograph that needed rotating, because the corrected picture has to be written out again. A transparent PNG converted this way is placed on white, since JPEG has no transparency and the alternative is black.

Order, and adding more later

Images become pages top to bottom in the order the list shows. Use the arrows to move one, or the cross to drop it. Adding more files later appends them to the end rather than replacing what is there, so you can build the document in stages.

If you already have PDFs to combine with these, the merge tool joins them, and it also runs entirely in your browser.

Going the other way

To turn the pages of a PDF back into pictures, the PDF to JPG converter saves each page as a JPG or PNG, at the resolution you choose.
