GUIDE

Convert JPG (and PNG, TIFF, BMP) to PDF — free, in your browser, no signup

TL;DR

Turning a pile of images into a single tidy PDF is a daily-driver job — receipts for expense reports, photo-scanned documents, portfolios. SwissArmyPDF converts JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF, and TIFF into a clean PDF with custom page size, orientation, and ordering — all in your browser. No upload, no watermark.

When you need image → PDF

  • Expense reports. A dozen receipt photos batched into one PDF for finance.
  • Phone-scanned documents. "Scan" a paper form by photographing it, then turn the photos into a PDF.
  • Portfolios. A series of artwork or design images delivered as one document.
  • Insurance claims. Damage photos bundled into a single attachment.
  • Visa applications. ID photos, document scans, and supporting images combined.
  • Course assignments. Photographed handwritten work submitted as PDF.
  • Real estate listings. Property photos as a single distributable PDF.

How to convert images to PDF (step by step)

  1. Open JPG to PDF.
  2. Drop your images onto the page (or click to browse). Multiple at once is fine.
  3. Drag thumbnails to reorder — that's the order they'll appear in the PDF.
  4. Pick a page size (A4 or Letter), orientation (portrait or landscape), and margin.
  5. Click Convert. The PDF downloads instantly.

One image per page in this version. For multi-image-per-page layouts, build the layout in Edit PDF after.

What image formats are supported

  • JPG / JPEG — embedded as-is without re-encoding when possible (preserves quality).
  • PNG — embedded with transparency support.
  • GIF — first frame only (animations don't carry to PDF).
  • BMP — re-encoded to JPEG during embedding (no quality loss for typical scans).
  • TIFF — single-page TIFFs supported. Multi-page TIFFs use the first page only in v1.
  • WebP — supported in browsers that decode WebP natively (Chrome, Firefox, Safari recent).

HEIC (iPhone Live Photo format) isn't supported in v1 — convert to JPG first using your phone's share menu or Preview.app on Mac.

Page size and image fit

Each image is placed on a page of the size you pick, fitted with the margin you set. Three behaviors to know:

  • Aspect ratio is preserved. A square image on an A4 page leaves whitespace top and bottom; we don't stretch.
  • Page orientation auto-selects per image. Landscape photos go on landscape pages, portrait photos on portrait pages — unless you force one or the other.
  • Margin is uniform around all four edges. Default ~10mm; can be set to 0 for borderless.

Quality tips

  • Don't pre-shrink your images. JPG embedding is lossless; sending in higher-resolution images gives sharper output.
  • For receipts and documents, scan or photograph at 300+ DPI. 1200×1600 minimum for a printed receipt.
  • For photos meant for screen viewing, 1500–2000 pixels on the long edge is enough. Higher is wasted bytes.
  • For OCR-able output, scan straight-on with good lighting. Phone-scanned receipts that are skewed don't OCR well.

Troubleshooting

  • Output is huge. Your source images are probably high-resolution phone photos (8–12MB each). Run the output through Compress PDF to shrink.
  • HEIC files won't load. Convert to JPG first (Mac Preview: File → Export). HEIC support coming in a future version.
  • Wrong order. Drag thumbnails in the file list before converting. The list order is the final order.
  • Image looks rotated. Phone photos use EXIF orientation tags. We respect them. If a photo is sideways, fix EXIF orientation in your phone's photo app first.
  • Need multi-image per page? Convert with one per page, then use Organize PDF + Edit PDF to build a grid layout.

Why local image-to-PDF matters

The images you bundle into PDFs are often the most personal: receipts with names and amounts, ID photos, medical document scans, insurance damage shots. Uploading these to a web converter means a copy lives briefly on someone else's server. SwissArmyPDF converts in your browser using pdf-lib. The images never leave your device.

Common next steps

  • Compress PDF — shrink the image-heavy PDF for email.
  • Merge PDF — combine with other PDFs (cover letter, application form).
  • Edit PDF — add captions or labels to the image pages.
  • Sign PDF — sign the bundled document.
