Combine pictures into a PDF, one image per page

Add photos, scans or screenshots, set their order and combine the pictures into a PDF that gives each image its own page. You can turn a sideways picture, choose A4, Letter or a page the size of the image, and look at every page before you download. The tool runs in your browser.

1. Add images

Drag and drop images here

JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, AVIF and SVG. Other image formats depend on your browser.

2. Arrange images

Use Up and Down to change page order. Rotate turns an image 90° clockwise.

No images selected.

    3. PDF settings

    Equal margins on all sides. Fit image follows each image’s shape and adds margins; orientation and layout apply to A4 and Letter.

    Smaller file saves images that arrived as JPEG at JPEG quality 92; everything else stays lossless PNG. Lossless keeps every decoded pixel and can make photo PDFs many times larger.

    Add images to begin.

    Images that cannot be read stay listed with an error. Any partial PDF names the skipped images.

    How to combine images into one PDF

    Choose the pictures, arrange them, pick the page settings and save the file. Each step below names the button or field you will see.

    1. Select Choose images, or drop files on the Drag and drop images here area. You can pick many files at once, and Add more images puts later files at the end of the list.
    2. Wait until every row shows a small preview and the picture’s width and height in pixels.
    3. Use Up and Down to put the pictures in page order. Rotate turns a picture 90° clockwise each time, and Remove drops it from the list.
    4. Under 3. PDF settings, set Page size, Page orientation, Image layout, Margin (mm) and Image quality.
    5. Select Create PDF, page through the preview with Previous and Next, then select Download PDF. The file is saved as images.pdf.

    Any change to the list or the settings clears the finished PDF, so select Create PDF again. Reset empties the list and brings back the default settings.

    Page size, orientation and fit

    A new list starts on A4 with Auto orientation, the Contain layout and a 10 mm margin. Auto looks at each picture, so a wide photo gets a landscape page and a tall one a portrait page, and one PDF can mix both.

    For example, a 4032 × 3024 phone photo on Letter with Auto gets an 11 × 8.5 inch landscape page, and Contain draws it 259.4 × 194.5 mm inside the margins. Set Page orientation to Portrait and the same photo shrinks to 195.9 × 146.9 mm to fit the narrow page. Cover fills the whole area inside the margins instead and trims the parts that spill over.

    Fit image drops the paper size. Each page takes the size of its picture at 96 pixels per inch, plus the margin on every side, so a 1170 × 2532 phone screenshot with Margin (mm) set to 0 gets a 12.19 × 26.38 inch page. Page orientation and Image layout are switched off while Fit image is chosen.

    Photos, scans and file size

    Image quality decides how the pictures are stored. Smaller file keeps photos that arrived as JPEG in JPEG form, saved again at quality 92, which costs one more round of lossy compression. Every other picture is stored as PNG pixels.

    Lossless stores every image as PNG and can make a PDF of photos many times larger than the photos were. In one measurement, six 12-megapixel JPEG photos totaling 9.8 MB became a 109.6 MB PDF this way. Pictures are never scaled down, so each one keeps its full pixel size.

    Phone photos are turned upright from their orientation tag before they are placed. Transparent areas are filled with white, and colors are converted to sRGB, so HDR or wide-gamut detail can be lost. A scanned page or a photo of a document stays a picture: the tool does not recognize text, so that text cannot be searched or copied in the PDF.

    Formats you can add

    The picker takes JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, AVIF and SVG files, and one PDF can hold a mix of them. TIFF and AVIF have decoders bundled with the tool. HEIC and other formats work only when your browser can open them.

    An animated GIF or WebP contributes its first frame, and a TIFF with several pages contributes its first page. An SVG drawing is turned into pixels with bundled fallback fonts. Images or fonts it links from elsewhere are not fetched, so parts of it may be missing, which the preview shows before you save.

    A picture that cannot be read stays in the list with an error message, such as an empty file or a damaged one. The rest still make a PDF. The result then reports a partial result, names each skipped file and shows the page count and the size of the PDF.

    Limits

    Each picture gets a page of its own. The tool cannot put two pictures on one page, add text or page numbers, or set a password on the PDF. It reads images only, so it cannot add a picture to a PDF you already have.

    The tool sets no limit on how many pictures you add or how large they are. Your browser’s memory is the real limit, so a very large batch can stop with a memory error; add fewer pictures at a time if that happens. Cancel stops the current step and keeps every picture that was already prepared.

    The PDF has no title, author or creation date. The tool does not copy EXIF data, GPS location or other metadata from your photos. It needs JavaScript, and a browser that lacks a feature it needs shows an error as soon as you add pictures.

    Questions

    How do I combine multiple pictures into one PDF?

    Select Choose images and pick all the pictures at once, or drop them on the page. Put them in order with Up and Down, choose a page size, then select Create PDF and Download PDF. Every picture in the list becomes one page, from the top of the list to the bottom.

    How do I combine 2 JPG files into 1 PDF file?

    Add both JPG files, check that the one you want first is at the top, and select Create PDF. With the default Smaller file setting the photos stay JPEG inside the PDF. Download PDF saves the two-page file as images.pdf, and you can rename it after it downloads.

    Can I combine photos into one PDF for free?

    Yes. The page asks for no account and no payment, and it puts no watermark on the pages. It also sets no limit on the number of photos, although a large batch needs enough browser memory. Preview each page with Previous and Next before you download the PDF.

    Can I create a PDF from screenshots?

    Yes. Screenshots are usually PNG or JPEG files, and both work. A PNG screenshot is stored as PNG pixels, never as JPEG, so small text stays sharp. Fit image gives each screenshot a page of its own shape, which suits tall phone screenshots better than an A4 or Letter page.

    Is it better to save photos as PDF or JPG?

    Keep the JPG files if you only need the photos. A PDF helps when you need one file with the pictures in a fixed order, such as a form, a receipt set or a portfolio. With Smaller file each photo is saved again as JPEG, so there is a small quality loss.

    Why won’t my image convert to PDF?

    The file may be empty, damaged or in a format your browser cannot open. HEIC is the common case, since only some browsers decode it. The row shows the reason, and the other pictures still make a PDF. Export the photo as JPEG or PNG and add it again.

    How can I merge images and PDF files?

    This tool reads images only. Turn the pictures into a PDF here first, then open Merge PDF and add that file with your other PDF documents. Merge PDF joins whole files in the order you set, so the pictures can go before, after or between the other documents.

    Are my files uploaded?

    No. Your pictures are decoded and the PDF is built in your browser, in a Web Worker. The images are not sent to a server and are not saved in browser storage. Reset clears the list and the finished PDF, and leaving the page clears them as well.
