JPG-to-PDF is one of the most common document workflows because phones save every photo as JPG and every professional workflow prefers PDF. Our tool takes any number of JPGs, places each on its own PDF page, keeps their aspect ratio, and outputs a single tidy file — perfect for expense reports, visa applications, or notebook scans. The whole pipeline runs in the browser using jsPDF, so scanned bank statements or passport photos never touch a server.

- Rotate any sideways shots with our Image Rotator before combining.
- Take photos in good light and crop tightly for the sharpest scan-like results.
Common mistakes and how to fix them
✗ Uploading in random order
✓ Rename the source files 01, 02, 03… so the OS picker sends them alphabetically.
Troubleshooting
Symptom: Output PDF is 40 MB
Cause: Source JPGs are 8 MP+ each.
Fix: Resize each to ~2000 px longest edge before combining.
Expert FAQs
Can I reorder JPGs before combining? + Order is set by upload sequence. Re-upload in the desired order or rename files numerically.
Does the tool preserve JPG quality? + Yes — the JPG is embedded verbatim, no re-encoding.
What page size does the PDF use? + A4 by default; every image is centred to fit within the page.
How many JPGs can I combine? + Practically 100+ works fine; more depends on your browser's memory.
Are original filenames kept? + The PDF has one page per image; the original names are lost in the merged file.
Can I add page numbers? + Not in this tool — post-process in a PDF editor if needed.
Can I merge JPGs and existing PDFs? + This tool is JPG-only. Use a PDF merger separately if you need to combine with existing PDFs.
Is the PDF searchable? + No — images are bitmaps. Use OCR after if you need searchable text.
