JPG to PDF without a second round of compression

Convert JPG images to PDF without a second round of compression.

Each time a JPG is saved again, it is compressed again and loses a little more detail. This converter avoids that: the compressed data inside your .jpg or .jpeg file is copied into the PDF as it is, and the PDF only records where on the page to draw it.

That is also why there is no quality setting to get right: when the photo is never re-encoded, there is nothing to choose. The one exception is a JPG your browser cannot copy directly; that single file is redrawn and stored losslessly instead, and only that page ends up larger.

Every photo becomes a page of its own, sized on its own terms rather than forced to share a canvas. A tall portrait and a wide landscape shot can sit in the same PDF, one after another, each keeping its own proportions.

The finished file takes its name from the first photo you added, with the site's name appended so it stands out among your downloads. That naming applies whether the PDF holds one photo or twenty.

On the page

How each photo lands on the page

  • Fitted, never cropped

    On A4, Letter or Legal, each photo is centered and scaled until it meets two edges of the page, keeping its proportions. The whole picture stays visible.

  • Landscape shots

    Horizontal under Page Orientation lays the page on its side, so a wide photo fills it instead of sitting in a band across a tall page.

  • Auto (Match Image) goes big

    Here the page takes the photo's pixel size at one point, 1/72 inch, per pixel. A 12-megapixel phone photo makes a page about 56 by 42 inches: nothing is lost, the page is just large.

  • A fallback for odd files

    If a JPG can't be copied as it is, your browser redraws it and it is stored losslessly instead. It looks the same; that page just takes more space.

Three steps

How to convert JPG to PDF

  1. Add your photos

    Drop the JPGs in. Click a thumbnail to check the photo at full size.

  2. Put them in order

    Drag the thumbnails: the order you see is the page order of the PDF.

  3. Convert and save

    Click Convert to PDF and download one PDF with a page per photo.

When it helps

When to convert JPEG to PDF

  • Receipts for an expense claim

    Photograph each receipt and hand in one PDF instead of a pile of separate attachments.

  • Paper forms shot with a phone

    Signed pages photographed one by one become a single document you can file or forward.

  • Portals that only take PDF

    Applications and upload forms that refuse image files accept your photos once they are pages.

  • Photos for printing

    On A4 or Letter pages, every photo already sits on a sheet your printer expects.

  • A photo shoot for a client

    A whole set of shots travels as one attachment instead of dozens of separate files in an inbox.

  • Product photos for a listing

    Several angles of the same item become one PDF a buyer can flip through without downloading each picture.

About the size of your JPGs added together, plus a little for the PDF structure.

Yes. Since the photo data is stored unchanged, Extract Images returns each one as a JPG again.

Yes. Progressive files are copied in like any other, and grayscale and CMYK photos keep their color data in the PDF.

Yes, every pixel is kept. On a paper-size page a large photo is only drawn smaller, which packs more pixels into each inch.

Yes. Each photo gets its own page, sized for that photo alone, so a tall portrait and a wide snapshot can follow one another without either being stretched to match.

Yes, both are saved in this browser and applied again the next time you open this converter, so a repeat batch does not need resetting them.

One. Every photo you add becomes a page in the same file, in the order of the thumbnails, so ten photos come out as a single ten-page PDF.

A file that fails both the direct copy and the browser fallback cannot be turned into a page, and the conversion stops with an error. Open it in an image editor and save it again before retrying.
