Frequently asked questions

Which image formats can I use?

JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF and SVG — anything your browser can display. Each image becomes one page, in the order you arrange them.

What does 'Fit to image' do?

It sizes every page to its image instead of using a fixed paper size, so nothing is cropped and no empty borders appear. Pick A4, Letter or another size if you plan to print the result.

Can I change the order or rotate an image?

Yes. Drag the thumbnails to reorder them, use the sort buttons for alphabetical order, and rotate any image left or right before creating the PDF.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No, the PDF is built entirely in your browser and your images never leave your device.

Does image quality change?

JPG and PNG files are embedded exactly as they are. Rotated images and other formats are re-encoded once at high quality so they can be embedded.

Should I use auto page size or A4?

Auto if the PDF will be read on a screen — each page matches its image exactly, so there are no white borders and nothing is cropped. A4 or Letter if it will be printed or submitted somewhere expecting standard pages; images are then scaled to fit inside the paper, which can leave white space where the proportions differ.

Why is my PDF so large?

Because the images were embedded at full resolution, with nothing thrown away. Twenty phone photos make a PDF roughly the size of twenty phone photos. Run the result through Compress PDF and choose a DPI if you need it smaller — doing it afterwards works better, because the compressor can see how big each image is drawn on the page.

Can I mix JPG, PNG and HEIC in one PDF?

Yes, in any combination and any order. HEIC files may take a moment longer the first time, since browsers without native HEIC support need a decoder to be downloaded on demand.

Will the text in my scanned images be searchable?

No. A photograph of a page is a picture, and embedding it in a PDF keeps it a picture — there is no text layer to search or select. Recognising the text would require OCR, which is a separate operation.

What happens to transparent PNGs?

Transparent areas are rendered onto white, since PDF pages have no transparency of their own. If the transparency was doing something important, flatten it against the background you want in an image editor before converting.

Turning a pile of images into a PDF is mostly a question of what shape the pages should be, and there are two sensible answers. Either the page becomes the image — each page sized exactly to the picture it holds, so nothing is cropped and no white space is added — or the images are placed inside a fixed paper size like A4, scaled to fit, which is what you want if the result is going to be printed.

Both are available here, along with orientation and margin control. Photographs and screenshots usually look best with pages sized to the image; anything destined for a printer or a formal submission wants a fixed paper size.

JPG, PNG, WEBP and HEIC are all accepted, including mixed together in one document. The images are decoded by your browser and written into the PDF locally, so nothing is uploaded and there is no cap on how many you can include.

How to convert images to PDF

Add your images
Drop them onto the page or pick them with Choose files. You can mix formats freely — a folder of phone photos in HEIC alongside a few PNG screenshots is fine.
Set the order
Images become pages top to bottom in the order shown. Drag tiles to rearrange them, or sort by filename, which is usually what you want for numbered scans.
Choose the page size
Auto sizes every page to its own image. A4, Letter, Legal, A3 and A5 place each image inside that paper size instead, scaled to fit while keeping its proportions. Set the orientation and margin at the same time.
Create and download
The PDF is assembled in your browser and offered as a download.

Page size: auto versus fixed paper

Auto: Each page takes the dimensions of its image, converted at 96 pixels per inch. A 1920×1080 screenshot becomes a landscape page in that exact proportion; a portrait photo becomes a portrait page. Nothing is cropped, nothing is padded, and pages in one document can differ in size and orientation. This is the right choice for screenshots, photo albums and anything read on screen.
A4, Letter, Legal, A3, A5: Every page is that paper size, and each image is scaled down until it fits inside the margins with its aspect ratio intact. An image whose proportions differ from the paper leaves white space on two sides — that is correct behaviour, not a flaw; the alternative would be cropping your picture. Choose this when the document will be printed or submitted somewhere that expects standard pages.

Orientation and margins

Orientation only applies to the fixed paper sizes. Set it to portrait or landscape to force every page one way, or leave it on auto, which picks per image — a wide picture gets a landscape page, a tall one gets portrait. Auto usually wastes the least space in a mixed batch.

Margins are the white border around the image. On a fixed paper size the margin eats into the area the image is scaled to fit, so a larger margin means a smaller picture. On auto page size there is nothing to eat into, so the margin grows the page instead, adding a border around an otherwise edge-to-edge image.

Image quality and file size

Images are embedded at their original pixel resolution. Nothing is downscaled, so a PDF of twenty phone photographs is roughly as large as twenty phone photographs — often 50-100 MB. That is the honest result for a tool whose job is to preserve what you gave it.

If the output needs to be smaller, run it through Compress PDF afterwards and pick a resolution. Doing it in that order is better than shrinking the images first, because the compressor can see how large each image is actually drawn on its page and downscale accordingly.

PNG images with transparency get a white background, because PDF pages are opaque. If the transparency mattered, flatten it deliberately in an image editor first so you control what shows through.

HEIC and other formats

HEIC is the format iPhones save photos in, and most browsers cannot decode it natively. Where the browser can't, a WebAssembly decoder is loaded on demand to handle it — that is a several-megabyte download the first time it is needed, so the first HEIC in a session takes noticeably longer than the ones after it. It is loaded only when a HEIC file actually appears, so nobody else pays for it.

JPG, PNG and WEBP are decoded by the browser directly and are effectively instant. Formats that no browser can decode — TIFF in particular — are not accepted, because there is no honest way to handle them client-side.

For scans and photographs of documents, the resulting PDF holds pictures of text, not text. It will not be searchable or selectable. That is inherent to the input rather than to the conversion.
