Why convert JPG to PDF

Receipts photographed with a phone, ID scans and homework pages are easier to submit as one PDF than as a dozen images — and many upload forms accept only PDF.

The JPEG data is embedded as-is, so there is no second round of compression: the PDF pages look exactly like the photos and the file is only slightly larger than the images combined.

How it works

  1. Drop JPG file onto the box above, click it to browse, or paste from the clipboard.
  2. Adjust the options if you need to — the defaults suit most cases.
  3. Press Convert. The work happens on your device, so speed depends on your computer or phone.
  4. Download the PDF — individually or all at once.

About the formats

JPG · JPEG image · .jpg

The universal photo format: small files, supported by every device, camera and website, but no transparency and slight quality loss on each save.

  • JPEG compression discards fine detail the eye rarely notices; quality 80–90 is usually indistinguishable from the original at a fraction of the size.
  • Re-saving a JPG repeatedly adds generation loss, so keep an original and export copies.
  • JPG has no alpha channel — transparent areas become white or black when converted from PNG.

PDF · Portable Document Format · .pdf

The fixed-layout document standard: looks the same on every device and printer, which is why forms, invoices, contracts and reports are shared as PDF.

  • A PDF can contain vector text, embedded fonts, images, form fields, annotations and digital signatures.
  • Scanned PDFs are just pictures of pages; they need OCR before the text can be searched or copied.
  • PDF is an open ISO standard (ISO 32000) since 2008.
