Why convert JPG to PDF?
Combining JPG photos into a single PDF is the easiest way to send scanned documents, receipts, homework or a set of photos as one tidy file. ConvertKiwi places each image on its own A4 page, automatically choosing portrait or landscape to match the picture, in the order you added the files.
- You photographed a multi-page document with your phone and need to send it as one PDF.
- A form or portal asks for a single PDF instead of several images.
- You want to archive receipts, notes or a photo series in one file.
Why the PDF can weigh more than your photos
We turned three 12-megapixel phone photos, 3.5 MB together, into a PDF with this tool, and the PDF weighed 4.6 MB. That surprises many people, but it is expected: each photo is saved again at high JPG quality (92) so that nothing visible is lost, and phone cameras often store their own pictures with slightly stronger compression.
At full camera size, those photos sit on the page at about 395 pixels per inch, far more detail than paper can show. When we first resized the same photos to 1600 pixels wide with Resize image, the three-page PDF came down to 1.3 MB. Each photo still printed at the same size, about 26 x 19 cm on a landscape A4 page, at roughly 158 pixels per inch, which looks sharp on a home printer.
Portrait and landscape in the same file
Every page takes the shape of its photo: a vertical picture gets a portrait page and a horizontal one gets a landscape page, so a single PDF can mix both. A perfectly square photo is placed on a portrait page.
If the PDF will mostly be read on a phone, it looks tidier when every page has the same direction. For documents, hold the phone the same way for every shot, and turn any photo that came out sideways in your gallery before adding it here.
Tips for the best result
- Add the files in the order you want the pages. The first file becomes page 1.
- Each image is scaled to fit an A4 page with a small margin, and small images are never stretched.
- You can add up to 20 images at once, 200 MB each.
- If the PDF must stay under a few megabytes, resize the photos to about 1600 pixels wide before adding them.
About these formats
JPG: The most common photo format. It uses compression to keep files small, and it opens everywhere, but it does not support transparency.
PDF: The standard format for documents. It looks the same on every device, which makes it ideal for sharing, printing and sending scans.
Frequently asked questions
Can I combine multiple JPGs into one PDF?
Yes. That is exactly what this tool does: all the images you add become pages of one PDF.
What page size do you use?
A4, in portrait or landscape depending on each image.
Will my photos be compressed?
They are embedded at high JPG quality, so they look the same as your originals.
Can I turn a photo of a document into an editable PDF?
No. The photo is placed on the page as a picture, so the text in it cannot be selected, searched or edited. Turning a picture into real text needs OCR (text recognition), which this tool does not do.
Can I add HEIC photos from an iPhone?
This page accepts JPG files. Convert iPhone HEIC photos with HEIC to JPG first, then add the JPG files here.
