Convert Multiple Images to One PDF — Combine JPG & PNG into a Single PDF
Reorder pages visually with drag-and-drop, fix sideways scans with per-image rotation, and choose A4, Letter, or fit-to-image pages — all before a single file is generated.
1. Add your images
2. Arrange the page order
The order numbers on the thumbnails ARE the PDF page numbers. Drag thumbnails on desktop, or use the Up/Down buttons on touch. The numbers are added in whatever order your device listed the files — sort or drag before downloading.
3. Page & quality options
🔒 Privacy: photos are read and combined entirely inside your browser — nothing is uploaded to any server. ID scans, receipts, and family photos never leave your device.
🛡 Your photos never leave your device
Every online image-to-PDF tool uploads your photos to its servers. This one decodes, orders, and builds the PDF entirely inside your browser.
- Nothing uploaded — no server, ever
- No account, no email, no watermark
- Ideal for ID scans, receipts, and personal photos
- Faster after first use — the engine is cached

Three steps, using the tool above:
- Step 1 — Add images. Drag your photos, scans, or screenshots onto the drop zone (or click to browse, or add a whole folder at once). Thumbnails appear immediately in the queue.
- Step 2 — Arrange and set options. Drag thumbnails until the order numbers match the page order you want (or press the natural-sort button so photo2 comes before photo10), rotate any sideways images, then choose A4, Letter, or Fit-to-image pages and a JPEG quality.
- Step 3 — Download. Press Combine & Download PDF. One multi-page PDF is built on your device and saved straight to your downloads — with a real page count and file size shown.
That is the whole process. The sections below cover the built-in methods on Windows, iPhone, and Android — and where each falls short of the tool above.
Method 1: This Free Tool (Recommended)
This page exists because the common methods share three frustrations: you cannot easily control the page order, sideways phone photos come out rotated wrong, and your images get uploaded to someone's server. Here, thumbnails show the exact page order before you commit, every image has a rotate button, and the entire pipeline runs locally. Mixed JPG, PNG, and WebP files go into one queue, page size is your choice, and there is no watermark or signup.
Method 2: On Windows
Windows has a built-in path: open the images in the Photos app, select them (Ctrl-click for several), press Ctrl+P, and choose Microsoft Print to PDF as the printer. It works — but the print dialog decides page sizing and margins for you, reordering means going back and re-selecting files in a different sequence, and every image becomes a full page regardless of its shape. When order and layout matter (assignments, receipt bundles), the browser tool above is faster: you see and fix the order visually before anything is generated.
Method 3: On iPhone
The classic iPhone trick: put the images in a folder in Files, tap Select, choose Print, then pinch-out on the print preview to open it as a PDF and share it. It is clever but hidden — and HEIC photos (the default iPhone format) often need converting first, because many workflows choke on them. iPhones also cannot reorder pages at print time. The tool above accepts your photos directly in Safari, shows drag-order control, and skips the printer-dialog gymnastics entirely. For future photos, setting the camera to Most Compatible (JPEG) avoids format issues everywhere.
Method 4: On Android
Google Photos can print selected images to PDF via its print flow, and Google Drive's built-in scanner creates PDFs from camera captures — useful for fresh scans, less useful for combining existing gallery images in a chosen order. Android print dialogs also tend to force one-image-per-page with fixed margins. Chrome on Android runs the tool above exactly as on desktop: add from your gallery, arrange with the Up/Down buttons (built for touch), and download the combined PDF to your Files app.
Why Combine Images into One PDF?
A single PDF beats a folder of images in every submission scenario: assignments and homework that portals accept as one document only, receipt bundles for expense reports, multi-page ID and certificate scans where pages must stay in order, and email, where one attachment arrives intact instead of ten that get separated. PDFs also print predictably — every page comes out in sequence at a consistent size, instead of the printer scaling each photo differently.
Getting the Page Order Right
The most common surprise: the PDF's first page is whatever file your device listed first — which is rarely the order you meant. Operating systems sort alphabetically, so photo10.jpg comes before photo2.jpg, and cameras that recycle filenames shuffle everything further. The tool attacks this three ways: the natural-sort button compares the numbers inside filenames the way humans do (photo2 before photo10), drag-and-drop reorders thumbnails visually on desktop, and Up/Down buttons give touch screens precise one-tap moves. The order badges on the thumbnails always show the exact page numbers the PDF will have.
Page Size Guide — A4 vs Letter vs Fit-to-Image
Letter (8.5×11 in) is the US paper standard — use it when the PDF will be printed in the United States. A4 is the international standard — use it for anything destined outside the US, or when a portal expects it. Fit to image (the default) sizes each PDF page to the image's own proportions, so photos fill their pages edge-to-edge with no white borders — ideal for archives and on-screen viewing, and the fastest way to preserve exactly what each photo shows. Fixed sizes with margins look more like a printed document; fit-to-image looks more like a gallery.
Image Formats Explained
JPG is the camera standard — lossy, small, universal. PNG is lossless with transparency — perfect for screenshots with sharp text. WebP is the modern web format — smaller at similar quality. GIF is animated, but only its first frame makes it into the PDF (the honest limitation noted in the warning above). BMP is a legacy uncompressed format — huge files that convert beautifully. All five are accepted in one queue, and each is re-encoded as JPEG at your chosen quality for the final PDF, which is what keeps the output size sane.
Quality and File Size
The quality slider controls the JPEG encoding of each page. At 90 (the default), the difference from the original is imperceptible on screen and in print for normal documents. At 70–80, files shrink meaningfully with minor softening on close inspection. Below 60, artifacts appear around text and edges. The Shrink very large images option caps the longest edge (3000 px by default): a 4000 px phone photo downscaled to 3000 px loses 44% of its pixels — usually invisible, and it keeps the combined PDF email-friendly when 20 photos would otherwise weigh 100 MB.

Pro Tips
- Sort by name BEFORE manual dragging. The natural sort fixes the photo2-vs-photo10 trap in one tap; then drag only the stragglers.
- Rotate sideways scans first. A rotated thumbnail means a correctly oriented PDF page — fix it before combining, not after.
- Use Letter for US printing, A4 elsewhere. Wrong paper size means scaled-down printouts with odd margins.
- Downscale 4000 px phone photos to 3000 px (or 2000 px for email) — the PDF drops from enormous to sendable with no visible difference.
- Check the order numbers before downloading. Ten seconds on the thumbnail badges saves a full regenerate cycle.
- Fit-to-image for archives, fixed sizes for forms. Match the page mode to what happens to the PDF next.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Forgetting to reorder. Page 1 is whatever was added first — verify the badges or the sort button before generating.
- Combining 6000 px originals without downscaling. Twenty untouched phone photos can produce a 150 MB PDF; enable the shrink option.
- Sending screenshots of text when scans are expected. Screenshots work, but flat, well-lit photos or true scans read better in print.
- Expecting GIF animation to carry over. Only the first frame enters the PDF — the per-file warning badge tells you when.
- Overriding a portal's page-size requirement. If a form expects A4 pages, fit-to-image pages may be rejected — switch the size select.
