Twelve loose pictures are twelve files to lose; one PDF is a single document that opens in order.
One attachment instead of twelve
An agency, an insurer, a landlord or a school asks for "photos of the damage" and then has
to match twelve files to a case number. A PDF keeps them in one place, in the order you
chose, with the page numbers already sorted out. It is also the only shape most upload
forms in that world accept.
Mixed formats are fine
A folder from a real week holds everything at once: JPG from a camera, PNG screenshots,
WebP saved out of a chat, HEIC from a phone, a TIFF from a scanner. They can all go into
the same list. Every page is prepared the same way — decoded, turned the right way up and
laid out on the paper you picked — so the result looks like one document instead of a pile
of exports.
Everything can open a PDF
Phones, Windows, macOS, a printer queue, a print shop, a government portal: a PDF needs no
viewer installed and no format question answered. Send one file and the other side sees
page 1, page 2, page 3 — exactly the sequence you built here.
How the page order works
The list on the page is the stack of pages: the first row becomes page 1.
The list is the document
Files are appended in the order you add them, so adding a cover picture first and the rest
afterwards puts the cover on page 1. Each row shows a thumbnail, the file name and its
size, so the list reads like a table of contents before anything is converted.
Move rows with the arrows
Every row carries an ↑ and a ↓ button, and a
× to drop it. One click swaps a row with its neighbour and the numbering
follows immediately. Dragging a row is not supported — the drop area only adds files — so
the arrows are the one way to change the order, and they work the same on a phone and on a
desktop.
Add more at any time
Add more reopens the picker and appends whatever you choose to the end of
the list; pasted screenshots land there too. Nothing is converted until you press the
button, so the order can be rearranged as often as you like. The list stops at 30 images.
Page size, orientation and margins
Three page modes, and the picture is never stretched to make it fit.
A4 — the default
210 × 297 mm, the paper most of Europe and much of the world prints on. Each image is
scaled down until it fits inside the printable area, keeps its proportions, and is centred
on the page. Nothing is cropped, so a wide screenshot arrives with empty bands above and
below rather than losing its edges.
US Letter
216 × 279 mm, the standard sheet in the United States and Canada, and slightly wider and
shorter than A4. Choose it when the document is going to be printed there; the layout rules
are the same as A4.
Fit to image
The page becomes exactly the picture, with no paper around it. Set the margin to 0 and the
page measures the image itself; this is the mode for a diagram that will be dropped into
another document, or for a picture that has to stay at its own proportions.
Orientation and margin
Automatic turns every page to match its own image, so a wide photo gets a wide page and a
portrait one stays upright in the same PDF. Choose portrait or landscape to force one shape
throughout. The margin is in millimetres and defaults to 10 mm on A4 and Letter — the border
a printer needs — and can be set to 0 when the picture should fill the sheet.
Limits, quality and what is not done to your images
Generous enough for a whole folder of photos, firm enough that one request cannot tie up the server.
30 images, 25 MB each, 100 MB in total
The limits are checked while you build the list, so a problem shows up before you wait for
a conversion. A file over 25 MB is named and skipped and the rest stay; passing 100 MB in
total or the 30th image stops the intake and says why. That is a lot of pages — a
ten-page PDF of phone photos is nowhere near it.
Nothing is upscaled
A 900 px wide picture stays 900 px wide: no pixels are invented to make it bigger. On an
A4 or Letter page a small image is allowed to grow a little — up to 1.5× its natural size —
so it does not sit lost in the middle of the sheet, and beyond that it is left as it is.
The page still looks right; it simply carries the detail the file really had.
Large photos are capped at 4000 px
Anything longer than 4000 px on its longest side is scaled down to that before it goes in.
4000 px across a 190 mm printable width is well over 500 dpi, so the print stays sharp
while the PDF does not grow to a size no email will take.
One re-encode, no leftovers
Photos are written into the PDF once, at high quality; images with transparency keep it.
Camera model, GPS coordinates and the other tags a phone attaches are not copied, so the
document carries the pictures and nothing else about where they were taken.
How to combine images into a PDF
Three steps, no account and nothing to install.
Add the images
Drop them onto the box, click it to browse, or paste with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac). Add
them in the order you want the pages — a cover first, then the rest — or fix the order
afterwards with the arrows. Every file is checked against the limits as it lands.
Set the order and the page
Use ↑ and ↓ to move a row and × to remove
one. Then pick A4, US Letter or fit to image, leave orientation on automatic unless the
document has to be one shape, and choose a margin in millimetres — 10 mm is a good default,
0 fills the page.
Create the PDF
The result card reports the page count and both file sizes, so an unexpected result is
visible before you save. One click downloads a single PDF, ready to email, print or upload.
Three tips before you combine
Small habits that keep the document readable and the file small.
Sort first, add in batches
The picker hands files over in the order it lists them, usually by name. Renaming a set to
01-front, 02-back, 03-detail before you add it saves
a round of arrow clicks, and a second drop appends cleanly after the first batch.
Shrink the photos, not the pages
A 6 MB photo and a 900 KB one look the same on an A4 page at reading distance. If the PDF
has to travel by email, run the heavy pictures through the
image compressor first — or
compress the JPGs — and the whole document gets lighter
without a visible difference.
Pick the right page for the job
A picture that will be printed on paper belongs on A4 or Letter; a diagram that will be
placed inside another layout belongs on a fit-to-image page. For a one-page document that
started as vector artwork, SVG to PDF keeps the drawing as
paths instead of turning it into a picture.
Frequently asked questions
Is this image to PDF converter free?
Yes. There is no account, no payment, no watermark on the PDF and no cap on how many documents you build. A short rate limit is the only restriction, and it exists so the service stays responsive for everybody.
Which images can I put in the same PDF?
Every type the box accepts: JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC and HEIF from a phone, GIF, TIFF and even an SVG. You can mix them in one list, because each file is decoded and prepared before it becomes a page, so a document assembled from screenshots, camera photos and a scanned drawing still looks consistent.
What are the limits?
Up to 30 images in one PDF, 25 MB per image and 100 MB in total for the whole request. The list is checked as you add files: one that is too heavy is named and skipped while the others stay, and reaching 30 images or 100 MB stops the intake with a message. All of it is held in memory, which is where the numbers come from.
Is the text in the PDF searchable?
No. Every page is the picture you supplied, placed on the page, so the PDF is a stack of images rather than a text document. Nothing can be selected with the cursor, copied out or found with the search box, because there is no text layer to search. Turning photographed or screenshot words into real text needs optical character recognition, which this converter does not do.
What happens to my files?
Files are processed on our server and not stored. The images are decoded, laid out and returned as one PDF, and the download is the only copy that leaves the conversion — no account is involved and nothing is kept afterwards.
