How to Convert Images to PDF
Converting images to PDF is a common task for creating portfolios, submitting documents, archiving photos, and sharing multiple images as a single file. PDFs are universally viewable, maintain their layout on any device, and are the expected format for most submissions.
When you need images as PDF
- Document submissions — many government forms, applications, and official processes require documents as PDFs, even if you only have scans or photos
- Portfolios and presentations — combine photos or design work into a single, shareable PDF
- Archiving — turn a collection of photos into one organized PDF file instead of a folder of loose images
- Printing — PDFs handle page sizes, margins, and layout consistently across different printers
- Email attachments — sending one PDF is cleaner than attaching 15 separate images
How to convert images to PDF
- Upload your images — click "Choose Files" or drag and drop your JPG, PNG, or WebP images. You can upload multiple files.
- Configure settings — select the page size (A4, Letter, or Fit to Image), orientation (portrait or landscape), and margin options.
- Convert and download — click "Convert to PDF" and download your PDF document.
Choosing the right page size
A4 (210 x 297 mm) — standard paper size in most countries outside North America. Use this for documents that may be printed internationally.
US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) — standard paper size in the United States and Canada. Use this if the document will be printed in North America.
Fit to Image — the page matches the exact dimensions of the image. Use this when you do not plan to print and want the image to fill the page with no white borders.
Tips for the best results
- Order matters — images are placed in the PDF in the order you upload them. If the order matters (like pages of a scanned document), make sure they are in the right sequence.
- Compress images first — if your images are very large (5+ MB each), compress them before converting. A PDF with ten uncompressed photos can be enormous.
- Use consistent orientation — if some images are landscape and others are portrait, the PDF pages will alternate orientations, which can be jarring. Rotate images to match before converting if possible.
- Check the result — open the PDF and scroll through to make sure every image is there and in the right order before sending.
