How to combine JPG photos into one PDF
JPG to PDF takes your JPG and JPEG files — phone photos, receipts, pages you scanned as JPG — and makes one PDF from them, with one photo per page in the order you see on screen. It runs in your browser: your photos are read on your device and are not uploaded.
JPG or JPEG?
They are the same format. JPEG is the name of the standard; .jpg is simply the shorter file extension that older systems required. A .jpeg file and a .jpg file hold the same kind of image, and you can mix both in one PDF.
What counts is the file’s content, not its name. JPG to PDF looks at the first bytes of every file, so a PNG, WebP or HEIC image that someone renamed to .jpg is still recognised for what it is: its card says it isn’t a JPG file and links to Image to PDF, which takes those formats. Trying the same file again wouldn’t change that, so this card has no Try again. A damaged file gets an error card too, with Try again. Your other photos keep working. You can Remove those cards, or create the PDF without them — they never become blank pages.
1. Add your photos
Tap Add JPG images and pick one or more files. You can add more at any time; each new batch goes to the end of the list. On a computer, you can also drop files anywhere on the page.
2. Put the pages in order
The number on each card is its page number in the PDF.
- Drag a card to a new place. On a touch screen, press and hold the card for a moment first, so a quick swipe still scrolls the list.
- Open a card’s More menu (⋯) for Move earlier, Move later or Move to…. The last one asks for a page number — the fastest way to move photo 38 to page 2.
- The toolbar’s More menu has Sort by name, which reads numbers the way people do: IMG_2 comes before IMG_10.
Sorting by name works well for files a camera or scanner numbered for you, such as IMG_0412.jpg or scan-07.jpg. It is less reliable when photos come from two phones, or when a camera’s counter started again from 0001 — check the order before you save.
3. Turn the sideways ones
Most JPG photos from a phone or camera carry a small tag that says which way is up. JPG to PDF reads that tag, so photos usually stand upright on their cards, even ones that look sideways in other apps. When a photo is still wrong — a document shot flat on a desk often is, because the phone could not tell up from down — tap Rotate 90° clockwise on its card, once for each quarter turn.
Rotating does not save your JPG again. It only turns the photo on its page, so it costs no image quality.
4. Save the PDF
Before saving, check Page setup in the toolbar: A4, Letter or a page that takes each photo’s shape. Page size for JPG photos explains the choices.
Then tap Save PDF. The button shows the progress, and Cancel stops the job; nothing is written if you cancel. When the PDF is ready, the strip at the bottom shows the number of pages and the real file size, and your browser starts the download. If it doesn’t start by itself, use the Download PDF button that appears. Download again gives you another copy without making the PDF again, and Share appears only in browsers that can share files.
Changed your mind?
Undo and Redo step through adding, removing, moving, rotating, sorting and changes to the settings. Remove takes a photo out of the list; the file on your device stays where it is.
