Image to PDF Converter: Turn Photos into a PDF

To convert an image to PDF, drop it into the box above, or tap the box to pick photos from your phone or computer. Then click Build PDF and Download. That's the whole job for one picture. For several, drop them all in at once: each image becomes one page of the same PDF, and every file shows up as a numbered thumbnail in page order. Drag a thumbnail to move it, or use its arrow buttons if dragging is fiddly, which on a phone it usually is.

JPG and PNG can be mixed freely. The tool reads each file's contents rather than trusting its name, so a photo saved as .jpeg, a screenshot saved as .png and a PNG that somebody renamed to .jpg all go in correctly. Page size is your call: Fit to image (the default) makes every page exactly the size of its picture, so a tall phone photo and a wide screenshot end up as pages of two different shapes. Pick A4 or Letter if the PDF will be printed or has to look like a normal document. Each image is then scaled down to fit the page (never stretched or cropped) and centered, with an optional white margin around it.

Your photos keep their quality, because nothing is recompressed. A JPG goes into the PDF as the same JPG, and a PNG keeps every pixel. That's also why a batch of a dozen photos builds in a second or two: there's no image processing, just your browser putting the files into a document, in a background worker so the page stays responsive.

Already have a PDF and want pictures out of it? Switch the tool to PDF to Images, or go straight to the PDF to JPG converter.

Change a photo to PDF on iPhone

Open this page in Safari, tap the box and choose Photo Library. Pick one picture or several, tap Add, then Build PDF and Download. The PDF lands in the Files app, in Downloads. iPhone photos are HEIC files, but Safari normally hands them over as JPG when you pick them this way. If you have .heic files on a computer instead, use the HEIC to PDF converter. There's also a built-in route: in Photos, select the pictures, tap Share, then Print, and share the print preview as a PDF. It works, but every photo gets fitted onto a paper-sized page with white borders.

Turn a picture into a PDF on Android

This page works the same in Chrome on Android: tap the box, choose your photos, Build PDF, Download. Android can also do it without a website. In Google Photos, open the picture, tap the three-dot menu, then Print, and set the printer to Save as PDF. That's handy for one photo; for several pages in a set order, this tool is quicker.

Convert images to PDF on Windows

Windows 10 and 11 have a printer called Microsoft Print to PDF. Select your images in File Explorer, right-click and choose Print (on Windows 11 it's under Show more options), pick Microsoft Print to PDF, and print. Watch the Fit picture to frame box: it's on by default and crops the edges of your photos. Here nothing gets cropped, and you can set the page order by dragging.

Convert a picture to PDF on a Mac

Select the images in Finder, right-click, and choose Quick Actions, then Create PDF. You get one PDF in the same folder; check the page order before you send it, because you can't drag pages around first the way you can here. Preview can do it too: open the pictures, put the thumbnails in order in the sidebar, then File, Print, and Save as PDF.

Say you're preparing a quick product handoff: two PNG graphics and one JPG material photo, already in the order you want to share them. The three files total 5.2 MB.

Drop all three into the box above in any order, the tool doesn't care which format lands first. Drag them into the sequence the handoff should read in, select "Fit to image," and click "Build PDF." In a couple of seconds you'll have one three-page PDF. Because neither format gets re-encoded, the finished file stays close to its 5.2 MB source total; 5.9 MB is normal once the PDF container overhead is added.

Want every page the same size instead, say for printing? Switch to A4 or Letter before you build, and each image, regardless of its original format, gets centered and scaled down to fit without distortion.

An image file (JPG, PNG) is a grid of pixels. A PDF is a document: pages of a fixed size that can hold text, drawings and pictures, and that look the same on every phone, computer and printer. Turning a picture into a PDF doesn't change the picture, it places it on a page. That's why the PDF comes out about the same size as the images you put in, and why it's just as sharp.

So when should you use which? Keep a photo as a JPG if people will look at it, post it or edit it; every app opens one. Make it a PDF when it's really a document (a receipt, a form, a scanned page), when several pictures have to stay together in order, or when the place you're sending it simply asks for PDF. This page takes JPG and PNG. For other picture formats, use the matching converter in the list near the top of this page: HEIC to PDF for iPhone photos and SVG to PDF for vector graphics.
