Turn JPG images into a PDF

or drop them here
Choose at least one JPG or PNG image first.

Choose JPG images, put them in order, and build one checked PDF without an upload and without re-encoding a single image. Camera rotation is read and kept, so a phone photo is not sideways. Match each page to its image or use A4 or US Letter with the margin you choose. Page geometry and embedded pixel dimensions are verified before download.

How to turn JPG images into a PDF

  1. Choose JPG images

    Choose one or more .jpg or .jpeg files, or drop them on the page. Camera rotation is read in this tab.

  2. Set the photo order

    A phone names photos in the order it took them, which is rarely the order a document needs. Move each photo up or down, or remove it, before the PDF is built.

  3. Pick a paper size

    Match image sizes each page from the photo at 96 pixels per inch, so a 4,000 pixel wide photo makes a page about 42 inches wide. A4 or US Letter fits the photo on a printable sheet instead.

  4. Download the checked PDF

    The PDF is opened again and every JPG inside it must keep the pixel width and height it had on your disk. Only then does the download button appear.

What goes into the PDF

Each JPG compression stream is copied into the PDF. The page transform keeps standard EXIF camera orientation without decoding or re-encoding the image. The verifier then checks every page size and the raw pixel width and height of every embedded JPG.

Where JPG to PDF fits

pdfpix is a free JPG to PDF converter with no account needed and no daily cap. The convert step runs in this browser tab, so the photos never reach a server.

Most converters decode every photo and encode it again, which softens detail and adds fresh compression artefacts to an image that already had some. This one does not decode at all. The existing JPEG compression stream is copied into the PDF, and the page transform carries the standard EXIF camera orientation, so a picture taken sideways stands up in the document without a single pixel being touched.

That has a practical consequence worth knowing before you start: the PDF is roughly the size of the photos plus a small amount of document structure. It cannot come out smaller, because nothing was compressed a second time. If the result has to fit a specific upload limit, start from JPG to PDF under 200 KB, or run the finished file through Compress PDF.

Questions

Are my JPG files uploaded?
No. Each JPG is copied into the PDF inside this tab, and the check that reopens the PDF runs here too.
Does JPG to PDF change image quality?
No. Each JPG byte stream is embedded directly without being decoded and re-encoded. The PDF can scale its display on the page, but the stored source pixels do not change.
Does it keep camera rotation?
Yes. The tool reads standard EXIF camera orientation and applies it to the PDF page without changing the JPG bytes.
Why is the PDF about as big as my photos?
Nothing is compressed a second time, so the PDF carries the same JPG data plus a few kilobytes of page structure. Compress PDF can make it smaller afterwards.
Can I read the text in a photographed page?
You can read it by eye, but a PDF reader cannot select or search it. A JPG holds pixels, and this conversion does not run OCR.
Which page size suits a printed document?
A4 or US Letter. Each landscape photo gets a landscape sheet, and a narrow margin of 0.25 inch or a standard margin of 0.5 inch keeps the edges clear of a printer's unprintable border.
