Photos to one PDF, step by step
- Open JPG to PDF and tap Choose photos (on a phone, Pick photos). Add more photos adds to the list.
- Put them in order: drag the handle, use the arrows, or tap Sort A to Z or Reverse.
- Under Page, choose a Page size and a Margin.
- Tap Make PDF. Your file,
photos.pdf, downloads straight away.
Which page size: Fit, Letter or A4
- Fit makes each page the size of its photo. Best for sharing on a screen.
- Letter (8.5 × 11 in) and A4 (210 × 297 mm) are for printing, or for forms that want a normal page. Pick whichever paper your printer or form uses.
A photo from a phone makes a very large page with Fit, which is fine on screen but awkward to print, so choose Letter or A4 if it is going on paper.
Margins and white borders
None, the default, puts each photo right to the edge, so Fit with None gives no white border at all. Small adds at least half an inch of white around each photo, which looks neater on paper.
Right way up, sharp and in true color
Phones save a hidden note saying which way up a photo was taken. JPG to PDF reads it and turns each photo to match, and wide photos turn Letter and A4 pages sideways.
JPG photos go in byte for byte, the same picture as the original, so nothing gets blurrier. PNGs keep every pixel and their see-through parts. WebP photos are saved once as a high quality JPG. The wider colors of iPhone photos are kept too.
Location and hidden details removed
GPS location, camera details and the date are left out of the PDF. Worth knowing if you are sending photos of your home or your documents to someone else.
How big the PDF will be
About the photos added together. In our test, five 12 megapixel photos of 4.81 MB made a 4.80 MB PDF. Need it smaller? Shrink the photos first with the Image Compressor, or see how to compress a photo to 100 KB.
iPhone HEIC photos
On an iPhone you can pick photos straight from your library. If a browser cannot open a HEIC photo, the tool tells you, and saving it as a JPG first fixes it. To have your iPhone take JPG photos from now on, go to Settings, Camera, Formats and choose Most Compatible.
It is always one photo per page. Got several PDFs instead? See how to combine PDF files into one.
