How to convert JPG to PDF
Add your images
Drag your JPGs into the box above or tap “Choose files”. PNG images work too. On a phone, you can pick straight from your photos.
Set the order
Move images by drag and drop or with the arrows. The order you see is the page order in the PDF. Remove anything you don't need with one tap.
Choose the page layout
Pick a page size (A4, Letter or “Fit image”), the orientation and the margin. For documents, Letter or A4 is almost always right.
Create and download
Tap “Create PDF”, then “Download PDF”. The file lands in your downloads folder. Done.
When do you need this?
Sending a signed contract or form
You photographed each page of a signed document and need to send it as a PDF. The photos become one multi-page PDF in the right order.
Putting together a job application
Certificates, references and your résumé are saved as images. One PDF is much easier for a recruiter to open than ten separate attachments.
Collecting receipts for expenses
Receipts and invoices for taxes or an expense report go into a single file that is easy to store, forward and print.
Sending an ID or proof document
Front and back of an ID card in one PDF. With documents like these, it matters that the images never leave your device.
JPG vs. PDF: what's the difference?
JPG stores a single image and is made for photos. PDF is a document format: it holds any number of pages in a fixed order and looks the same on every device and when printed.
Both formats have their place. A photo you want to view or edit is better kept as a JPG. As soon as several images need to be sent, filed or printed as one document, PDF is the better choice.
| Feature | JPG | |
|---|---|---|
| Content | One image per file | Any number of pages in one file |
| Typical use | Photos, web images, social media | Documents, forms, applications, receipts |
| Page format | No fixed format, only pixels | Fixed page size such as A4 or Letter |
| Printing | You set size and margins yourself | Prints exactly as the page is laid out |
| Editing | Any photo app | Needs a PDF editor |
| Usually requested for | Photo uploads, profile pictures | Offices, employers, online portals |
Good to know
- No recompression: JPGs go into the PDF unchanged, so resolution and quality stay the same. PNGs are embedded losslessly. For screenshots and graphics with transparency, use PNG to PDF, where you also pick the background.
- PDF file size: The PDF is roughly as large as all your images combined. Phone photos of several MB each make a correspondingly large PDF.
- Letter or A4: Letter (8.5 × 11 in) is the standard in the US and Canada, A4 (210 × 297 mm) almost everywhere else. “Fit image” makes each page exactly as large as its image.
- Text in the PDF: Text in your photos stays part of the image. You can’t select or search it in the PDF.
Tip: Planning to print? Choose Letter or A4 and a small margin so the printer doesn’t cut anything off.
Quick check: Once the page has loaded, the conversion also works offline. Try it: turn off Wi-Fi, add images, create the PDF.
Troubleshooting
Why does nothing happen when I add a file?
Usually the file isn’t a JPG or PNG. The most common cases are iPhone photos in HEIC format or WebP images saved from the web. Check the file extension. For those images, use Image to PDF: it takes HEIC, WebP and other formats directly, even mixed with JPGs.
Why are some pages in my PDF sideways?
With “Auto” orientation, each page follows its image, so landscape photos become landscape pages. If the whole PDF should be uniform, set the orientation to “Portrait” or “Landscape” and create the PDF again.
How do I get rid of the white borders?
White areas appear when the image has a different aspect ratio than the page. Choose “Fit image” as the page size and “None” as the margin. Each page is then exactly the size of the photo.
The PDF is too big to email. What can I do?
The size depends directly on your images because they aren’t recompressed. Shrink very large photos before converting, or split the images across two PDFs.
Creating the PDF takes a while on my phone. Is that normal?
With many large photos, your phone needs a moment because it does all the work itself. Keep the tab in the foreground while it runs. On older devices, it helps to create the PDF in two rounds with fewer images.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, on your own device. The file itself is never sent to a server, never stored and never seen by us. Close the tab and it is gone from memory.
You can check this yourself: open your browser's developer tools (F12), switch to the “Network” tab and start the conversion. Your file does not show up as an upload. What you may see are page resources and, if you agreed to them, ads or statistics.
FAQ
Is converting JPG to PDF on Filemanta really free?
Yes. Converting JPG to PDF on Filemanta costs nothing. There is no daily limit, no cap on the number of images, no watermark and no subscription. You can use it as often as you like.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Your images are combined into a PDF on your own device and never sent to a server. We can't see them because they never reach us. That matters most for IDs, contracts or receipts.
How many images can I put in one PDF?
As many as you like. Filemanta sets no limit. The only limit is your device's memory, so with a very large number of big phone photos, creating the PDF on a smartphone can take a little longer.
Do I need an account or an app?
No. You don't need to sign up, give an email address or install an app. Open the page in your browser, add your images and download the PDF. It works the same on a computer and on a phone.
Can I merge several JPGs into one PDF?
Yes. Add all your JPGs, put them in order and tap “Create PDF”. Filemanta combines them into a single PDF with one image per page. It works the same for a single image, photo or picture, and there is no limit on the number of files.
Can I convert a photo to PDF on iPhone and Android?
Yes. In Safari, Chrome and other current browsers, you pick photos straight from your gallery and turn them into a PDF. Save the finished PDF to Files or your downloads folder and share it from there.
Will I lose image quality?
No. JPGs are added to the PDF without recompression, so the resolution stays the same. PNGs are embedded losslessly. The PDF looks just as sharp as your original images.
Can I convert PNG images to PDF too?
Yes. The tool accepts JPG and PNG images, even mixed in one go. Each image becomes its own page, and you set the order before creating the PDF.
Can I turn a PDF back into JPG images?
Yes, with Filemanta's PDF to JPG tool. It turns every PDF page into its own image, which you can download one by one or as a ZIP. Your file stays on your device there too.
