Turn Several Photos into One PDF

Turning several photos into one PDF lets you send or submit them as a single file. This guide lists the steps we ran with this site's JPG to PDF tool on test photos, and what came out.

How do I turn photos into one PDF?

Add the photos together, set the order, and click Create PDF. Each photo becomes one page.

1. Open JPG to PDF and add several photo files. JPG, PNG and WebP are accepted. Each photo is listed with its number, file name, size and file size (for example "600×800 · 43 KB").
2. Check the order. Pages follow the list from top to bottom. Use the ↑ ↓ buttons or drag to change it, and ✕ to remove a photo.
3. Choose a Page size: A4 (portrait or landscape to match each photo, fitted to the page) or Original size (each page is the photo's own size).
4. Choose Margins: None, Narrow (10 mm) or Standard (20 mm).
5. Click the button that shows the count, such as "Create PDF (3 photos)", check the page count and size on the result screen, then click Download PDF. The downloaded file was named photos.pdf.

How do I change the order?

Use the ↑↓ buttons or drag. With 3 test photos (portrait, landscape, portrait), the PDF pages came out in the same order. When we moved the landscape photo to the top with ↑ and created the PDF again, the page order became landscape, portrait, portrait.

How do I choose the page size?

Choose A4 for something you will submit, and Original size to keep or share the photos as they are. Our results (page sizes in pt):

The Original size numbers were made with the margin set to Narrow (10 mm). The photos themselves are 450×600pt and 900×600pt at 96 dpi, and the 10 mm margin on both sides (about 28pt each) is added to that.

With A4, each page is portrait or landscape to match its photo; with Original size, each page had its own size. Changing the margin (None, Narrow, Standard) with A4 left the page sizes identical. We did not compare by eye how the photo sits on the page, so open the PDF and look.

How big is the PDF?

In this test, the PDF was about the same size as the photos put together. Three JPG photos (43 KB, 73 KB, 44 KB) gave "3 pages in total · 160 KB". The on-screen note says JPG photos are added without recompressing, and the picture data of our test JPG files was byte-for-byte the same inside the PDF. So large photos make a large PDF. If it is too big, see How to reduce PDF file size and PDF Too Big to Email? How to Shrink or Split It.

When this does not work

• HEIC photos (the iPhone default format) are not accepted. Adding a file named .heic showed "HEIC photos (the iPhone default format) aren't supported. Save them as JPG first." beside it in the list. Our test file was not a real photo; it was a fake file that has only the header of the HEIC file format.
• Unsupported or damaged files (a file that is not an image, a damaged image) got a notice beside them, and the PDF was made from the remaining photos. In our test, one good photo plus five problem files gave a PDF of "1 page in total · 44 KB".
• PNG and WebP photos could be added too (a transparent PNG, a WebP and a JPG gave "3 pages in total · 65 KB"). We did not check how the transparent area looks in the PDF.
• Shooting information in the photos (EXIF and XMP such as location, device and date) is not put in the PDF. When we made a PDF from test JPG, PNG and WebP files with fake location, device and date information and searched the PDF, we could not find any of it.
• With test photos carrying each of the 8 EXIF orientation values, every page came out upright in the PDF. That is a result on fake test photos, so after you make a PDF from real photos, look at every page yourself.
