One PDF from a mix of images
Photos from a phone, screenshots from a laptop and graphics downloaded from the web rarely share a format. This tool accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF and GIF together and lays them out as one PDF, one image per page. It is a quick way to build a photo album, a project portfolio, a visual report or a set of design mockups to send to someone who just wants to open a single file.
Everything happens in your browser. iPhone HEIC photos are decoded locally, so you don’t need to convert them to JPG first.
Choosing the right page size
| Page size | What it does | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| A4 | 210 × 297 mm sheet, image scaled to fit | Printing outside North America, formal documents |
| US Letter | 8.5 × 11 in sheet, image scaled to fit | Printing in the US and Canada |
| Fit to image | Page takes the image’s own proportions | Portfolios, albums, on-screen viewing |
Images are scaled to fit inside the page without being cropped or stretched. On A4 or Letter, a photo whose shape differs from the sheet will have white space on two sides. If you want edge-to-edge pages, use Fit to image with no margin.
Orientation and margins
Orientation. Portrait and landscape apply to every page. With a mix of tall and wide pictures, choose auto: each page turns to match its image, so wide panoramas aren’t shrunk onto a tall sheet.
Margins. “None” lets the image reach the edge of the page, which looks best for photos viewed on screen. “Small” gives a neat border. “Large” leaves room for printers that can’t print to the edge, or for binding and hole punching.
Getting the order right
Pages follow the order of the thumbnails. Files often arrive in an unexpected sequence, especially when you add images from several folders, so check before you export:
- Drag a thumbnail to its new position, or use the arrow buttons to nudge it one step.
- Add files in batches if you like; new images are appended to the end.
- Double-check the first and last pages, since those are the ones people notice.
Tips for a smaller, sharper PDF
The PDF contains your images at their original resolution, so its size is roughly the sum of the image files. A handful of 12-megapixel phone photos can easily produce a 30 MB document.
- If the PDF is for email, shrink very large photos before adding them. Around 2,000 pixels on the long side is plenty for an A4 page viewed on screen.
- PNG screenshots of text stay crisp; keep them as PNG rather than converting to JPG.
- Transparent areas in PNG, WebP or GIF images appear white on the page.
- Animated GIFs and animated WebP files are placed as a single still frame.
If your images are mostly scanned documents or receipts saved as JPG, the JPG to PDF tool has advice tailored to that job.
