Why convert JPG to PDF?
JPG files are best for photos you want to share, email or upload anywhere. PDF is the better choice for documents that must print and look identical everywhere. It opens in every browser and operating system, while JPG opens in everything: every phone, browser, OS and photo app.
PDF is lossless, so nothing your JPG file contains is thrown away on the way.

What happens to your file
A PDF is assembled in your browser with jsPDF. Images are placed on a page exactly their own size, so nothing is cropped or stretched. Text is set on A4 pages with sensible margins and wraps automatically across as many pages as it needs.
Tips for a clean conversion
- Drop a whole folder's worth of JPG files at once. They convert one after another and you can download everything as a single ZIP.
- Keep your original JPG files until you have checked the results. Converting back later is rarely lossless.
- PDF keeps everything it receives, so the result is only ever as good as the JPG file you start with.
About the formats
JPG: The most widely supported photo format. Small files thanks to lossy compression.
PDF: Fixed-layout document format that looks the same on every device.
