Turn Photos and Scans into a PDF
Use this tool to combine multiple JPG images into one PDF for college applications, visa paperwork, expense reports, or anywhere you need scans bundled into a single document. PNG and WebP are supported too — they're auto-converted to JPG before embedding. The result is a portable, universally-readable file that opens in every PDF viewer, attaches cleanly to email, and prints with predictable margins.
A Real-World Example
You're applying for a Schengen visa and the embassy portal expects a single PDF containing: passport bio page, return ticket, hotel booking, and bank statement — in that order. You scan or screenshot each as a JPG, drop all four into this tool, drag passport.jpg to the top, then tickets.jpg, hotel.jpg, and bank.jpg. Pick A4 with a 20 mm margin and click convert. You get a 4-page PDF, A4-sized, ready to upload — no Word, no Photoshop, no ten-tab signup process.
Page Size Options
- A4 (210 × 297 mm): The international standard for forms and academic submissions. Use this for European, Asian, and most government portals.
- Letter (8.5 × 11 in): The US/Canada equivalent. Pick this for resumes and forms going to North American institutions.
- Legal (8.5 × 14 in): For longer contracts or affidavits where a taller page is preferred.
- Fit to image: Page size matches each image exactly — no margins, no scaling. Ideal for photo albums, manga-style PDFs, or screenshots where you don't want any whitespace.
Margins and Image Orientation
For document sizes (A4 / Letter / Legal), the tool centers each image on the page and scales it down to fit while preserving aspect ratio — a 4000-pixel-wide photo will shrink to fit, but a 600-pixel screenshot won't be stretched and will appear at its natural size. Portrait photos automatically render on portrait pages and landscape photos on landscape pages, so you don't end up with rotated images. Margin presets are 0 mm (full bleed), 10 mm (tight), and 20 mm (formal) — pick the formal margin for anything you'd print on letterhead.
Frequently Asked Questions
In what order will my images appear?
Images appear in the order shown in the list. Use the up/down buttons to rearrange them before clicking Convert.
Will my PNG transparency be preserved?
Transparent PNGs are flattened onto a white background to keep file size small. If you need transparency in the PDF, save your PNGs without alpha first.
What about HEIC photos from an iPhone?
HEIC isn't supported directly. On iOS, change Settings → Camera → Formats to "Most Compatible" so new photos save as JPG, or export the existing HEIC files as JPG via the Photos app first.
Need to compress the result?
After converting, run the file through our PDF compressor to shrink it further before submitting to size-limited portals.
