Page orientation that follows your photos
Auto turns each page to match its image, so wide photos get landscape pages and tall ones get portrait. Or lock every page to portrait or landscape.

What can the Image to PDF Converter do?
It converts any common image format to PDF with full control over page orientation, page size, margins, image fit, images per page and file quality. You can reorder, rotate and remove pages, preview every page, and get one PDF or one PDF per page.
Every common page size
A4, US Letter, US Legal, A3, A5, B5, Tabloid and Executive, a custom size in millimetres or inches, or pages cut to the exact size of each image.
Fit, fill, stretch or actual size
Show the whole picture, cover the page edge to edge, fill it exactly, or keep the image at its real printed size.
Several images on one page
Put 1, 2, 4, 6 or 9 images on each page in a tidy grid. Good for receipts, ID card copies and contact sheets.
No quality lost on JPG photos
At Original quality, JPG files go into the PDF byte for byte, with no re-compression. Rotation is done by the PDF, not by re-saving the photo.
Smaller files when you need them
Balanced and Smaller file resize each image to the resolution it actually needs at its size on the page, then compress it.
Reorder, rotate and remove
Drag pages into place on desktop or phone, rotate any image, sort by name or date, or reverse the order.
Live page preview
See every page with its margins, layout and orientation before you convert, and step through pages one by one.
Upright photos, every time
Phone photos carry a rotation tag. The converter reads it, so photos appear the right way up without any fixing.
Private by design
All the work happens in your browser. Images are never uploaded, and the tool keeps working without internet once the page has loaded.
Which image formats can you convert to PDF?
You can convert JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, SVG, AVIF and ICO in any modern browser, and HEIC, HEIF and TIFF in Safari. You can mix formats in the same PDF.
| Format | File extensions | Works in | How it goes into the PDF |
|---|---|---|---|
| JPG, JPEG | .jpg, .jpeg, .jfif | All browsers | Copied in untouched at Original quality; resized only when you pick a smaller setting |
| PNG | .png | All browsers | Lossless, with transparency kept at Original quality |
| WebP | .webp | All modern browsers | Lossless at Original quality, compressed at the other settings |
| HEIC, HEIF | .heic, .heif | Safari on iPhone, iPad and Mac | Decoded by Safari, then stored like a photo |
| AVIF | .avif | All modern browsers | Lossless at Original quality, compressed at the other settings |
| GIF | .gif | All browsers | First frame of an animation |
| SVG | .svg | All browsers | Drawn at high resolution so lines stay sharp |
| BMP, ICO | .bmp, .ico | All browsers | Lossless at Original quality |
| TIFF | .tif, .tiff | Safari only | Decoded by Safari, then stored losslessly |
Your browser does the decoding, so a format your browser can open is a format you can convert. Using Chrome, Edge or Firefox with iPhone photos? Share them from the Photos app, which converts them to JPG, or set Settings › Camera › Formats to Most Compatible.
Which PDF page size should you choose?
Choose A4 in most countries and US Letter in the US, Canada and Mexico. Choose Same size as image when the PDF will only be viewed on screen and you want no white borders. Use A3 or Tabloid for posters and large prints.
| Page size | Millimetres | Inches | PDF points | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A4 | 210 × 297 | 8.27 × 11.69 | 595 × 842 | Letters, forms and documents in most of the world |
| US Letter | 215.9 × 279.4 | 8.5 × 11 | 612 × 792 | Documents in the US, Canada and Mexico |
| US Legal | 215.9 × 355.6 | 8.5 × 14 | 612 × 1008 | Contracts and legal papers in the US |
| A3 | 297 × 420 | 11.69 × 16.54 | 842 × 1191 | Posters, plans and large photos |
| A5 | 148 × 210 | 5.83 × 8.27 | 420 × 595 | Booklets, notes and flyers |
| B5 | 176 × 250 | 6.93 × 9.84 | 499 × 709 | Books, notebooks and magazines |
| Tabloid | 279.4 × 431.8 | 11 × 17 | 792 × 1224 | Newsletters and large prints |
| Executive | 184.2 × 266.7 | 7.25 × 10.5 | 522 × 756 | Business stationery |
A-series sizes follow the ISO 216 standard: each size is half of the one above, so two A5 pages make one A4. PDF measures pages in points, where 72 points make one inch.
Should you use portrait or landscape pages?
Use portrait for documents, receipts and tall photos, and landscape for wide photos, screenshots and slides. If your images are a mix, choose Auto: each page then turns to match its image, so every picture is as large as possible.
- Auto checks whether each image is wider than it is tall and turns that page to match. A rotated image counts with its new shape.
- Portrait keeps every page tall. Wide photos are shown smaller, with space above and below.
- Landscape keeps every page wide. Use it for slides, panoramas and screenshots from a computer.
- With 2 or 6 images per page the grid follows the orientation: two images stack on a portrait page and sit side by side on a landscape page.
Which quality setting should you use?
Use Original to keep every pixel and print photos, Balanced for everyday documents that still print sharply, and Smaller file to email a PDF or fit an upload limit. Balanced is the default.
| Setting | What happens to your images | Typical PDF size for 10 phone photos | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original | JPG copied in untouched; other formats stored losslessly | About the same as the photos, 20 to 40 MB | Photo books, archiving, professional print |
| Balanced | Resized to 200 dpi at their size on the page, then compressed | About 3 to 6 MB | Most documents, home printing, sharing |
| Smaller file | Resized to 130 dpi, compressed more strongly | About 1 to 2 MB | Email attachments, job and visa upload forms |
Sizes are a guide for A4 pages with one 12-megapixel photo each. Your results depend on the images, the page size and how many images share a page.
How do you get the best PDF from your images?
Photograph documents flat in good light, rotate anything that’s sideways, choose Fit with Small margins for documents, and choose Fill with no margins for photos. Pick Smaller file when a website has an upload limit.
- Scanning paper with your phone: place the page on a dark surface in daylight and hold the phone straight above it. Then use Black and white to make text crisp and the file smaller.
- Receipts and ID cards: choose 2 or 4 images per page with Small margins to fit both sides of a card, or several receipts, on one sheet.
- Photo albums: choose Auto orientation, Fill and no margins for edge-to-edge pages, or Same size as image for a PDF that matches your photos exactly.
- Upload limits: many forms accept PDFs up to 2 MB or 5 MB. Smaller file usually gets several pages of photos under 2 MB.
- Keep the order: name files 01, 02, 03 before adding them, then use Sort › Name, A to Z.
Is it safe to convert images to PDF online?
It’s safe with this converter because nothing is uploaded. Your images are read, laid out and saved as a PDF by your own browser, so private documents such as passports, contracts and medical letters never leave your device.
Many online converters send your files to a server, convert them there and keep a copy for a while. This one works differently: the page loads a small program into your browser, and that program builds the PDF on your device. You can check this yourself by turning off your internet connection after the page loads. Converting still works.
The only thing the converter stores is your choice of settings, kept in your own browser so they’re ready next time. Closing or reloading the page clears your images from memory.
Key terms for converting images to PDF
Short definitions of the words used on this page.
- Portable Document Format, a file type that looks the same on every device and printer. It’s defined by the ISO 32000 standard.
- Page orientation
- Whether a page is taller than it is wide (portrait) or wider than it is tall (landscape).
- DPI and PPI
- Dots or pixels per inch: how many image pixels fit in one inch of the printed page. 300 is print quality; 150 to 200 looks sharp on screen and in most prints.
- Lossless
- Stored without losing any detail, so the image in the PDF is identical to the original pixels.
- JPEG compression
- A lossy way of storing photos that makes files much smaller by dropping detail the eye rarely notices. Re-compressing a JPEG loses a little more each time.
- EXIF orientation
- A tag phones and cameras add to photos to say which way up they should be shown. The converter reads it so photos come out upright.
- Aspect ratio
- The shape of an image or page: its width divided by its height, such as 4:3 for many phone photos.
- ISO 216
- The international standard that defines A-series paper sizes such as A4, A3 and A5, where each size is half the one before.
About the Image to PDF Converter
Who makes the tool, how it builds your PDF, and the standards it follows.
Who made it
The Image to PDF Converter is designed and maintained by Entertainment Couch, which also publishes free browser games and a set of free online tools. It was last updated on .
How it builds your PDF
- The converter writes the PDF file itself, following the ISO 32000 PDF standard. No third-party PDF service is involved.
- JPG photos are stored with the JPEG compression they already have, so at Original quality the photo in your PDF is byte-for-byte the original file. CMYK and grayscale JPGs keep their color type.
- The photo rotation tag and any rotation you add are applied by the PDF page itself, which is why rotating never lowers quality.
- PNG and other formats are stored losslessly at Original quality, with transparency kept as a separate mask.
- At Balanced and Smaller file, each image is resized to the resolution it needs at the size it appears on the page (200 or 130 dpi), never enlarged, and compressed as JPG.
Privacy
There are no accounts and no uploads. Images are processed in your browser’s memory and cleared when you leave the page. Your settings are saved only in your own browser.

General
What is the Image to PDF Converter?
It’s a free online tool from Entertainment Couch that turns JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC and other images into a PDF in your web browser. You can choose the page size and orientation, set margins, put several images on a page, reorder and rotate pages, and pick the file quality. There’s no sign-up, no watermark and nothing to install.
Is the Image to PDF Converter really free?
Yes. Every feature is free with no limit on how many PDFs you make. There’s no premium version, no trial and no watermark on your PDF.
Do I need to sign up or install anything?
No. Open the page and add your images. There’s no account, email, login, app or browser extension.
How many images can I put in one PDF?
Up to 300 images per PDF, with no daily limit. Very large batches of big photos depend on your device’s memory, so on an older phone it helps to convert 50 to 100 photos at a time or choose the Balanced quality setting.
Does the converter add a watermark?
No. Your PDF contains only your images, plus page numbers if you turn them on.
Converting
How do I convert a JPG to a PDF?
Press Choose images and pick your JPG, or drag it onto the tool. Choose a page size and orientation if you want something other than A4 with automatic orientation, then press Convert to PDF and Download PDF. A single photo takes about a second.
How do I combine several images into one PDF?
Add all the images at once, or press Add images to add more. Each image becomes a page in the order shown. Drag the handle on a card to move it, then press Convert to PDF to get one PDF with every image in it.
How do I change the order of the pages?
Drag the dotted handle under an image to a new position, or focus the handle and use the arrow keys. You can also sort by file name or by date, or reverse the whole order from the toolbar.
Can I rotate an image before converting it?
Yes. Press the rotate button under an image to turn it 90 degrees clockwise. Press Rotate all in the toolbar to turn every image at once. Rotation never re-compresses a JPG: the PDF simply draws it turned.
Can I make a separate PDF for each image?
Yes. Open More options and set Output to One PDF per page. You get a ZIP file with one PDF for each page, numbered in order.
Can I take a photo and turn it into a PDF on my phone?
Yes. On phones and tablets a Take a photo button opens your camera. Each photo you take is added as a new page, which is handy for receipts, notes and forms.
Can I paste an image instead of uploading a file?
Yes. Copy an image or screenshot and press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac) anywhere on the page. It’s added as a new page.
Page setup
How do I change the page orientation?
Under Orientation, choose Portrait for tall pages, Landscape for wide pages, or Auto. The preview updates straight away, so you can check the result before you convert.
What does Auto orientation do?
Auto gives each page the orientation of its image: wide photos get landscape pages and tall photos get portrait pages, so pictures fill the page as much as possible. With several images on a page, Auto uses portrait pages.
Which page sizes can I choose?
A4, US Letter, US Legal, A3, A5, B5, Tabloid and Executive, plus a custom size in millimetres or inches. You can also choose Same size as image, which makes each page exactly fit its picture.
Can I make each PDF page the same size as the image?
Yes. Choose Same size as image as the page size. Each page then matches its image, using 96 pixels per inch by default. You can change that in More options to make pages larger or smaller.
What is the difference between Fit, Fill, Stretch and Actual size?
Fit shows the whole image as large as possible inside the margins. Fill covers the whole area and trims the edges that don’t fit. Stretch fills the area exactly and may distort the image. Actual size places the image at its real size at the chosen pixels per inch, and shrinks it only when it’s larger than the page.
Can I put more than one image on a page?
Yes. Under Images per page choose 1, 2, 4, 6 or 9. Images are laid out in a grid with a small gap between them, which is useful for contact sheets, ID cards and receipts.
Can I add page numbers or a background color?
Yes. In More options turn on Page numbers to add “1 / 12” style numbers at the bottom of each page, and pick a background color for the area around your images.
How do I set the margins?
Under Margins choose None, Small (7 mm), Medium (15 mm) or Large (25 mm). None puts the image right to the edge of the page, which is best for photos and the Same size as image option.
Image formats
Which image formats can I convert to PDF?
JPG and JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, SVG, AVIF and ICO work in every modern browser. HEIC and HEIF photos from iPhones work in Safari, and TIFF works in Safari. You can mix formats in one PDF.
Does a PNG with a transparent background stay transparent?
With Original quality, yes: the transparency is kept in the PDF and the page background shows through. With Balanced or Smaller file, transparent areas are filled with the background color you choose, white by default.
Can I convert HEIC photos from an iPhone?
Yes, in Safari on iPhone, iPad or Mac, which can read HEIC. Chrome, Edge and Firefox can’t open HEIC files. If you use one of those, share the photo from the Photos app (which converts it to JPG) or set Settings › Camera › Formats to Most Compatible.
What happens to animated GIFs?
The first frame of the animation becomes the PDF page. PDF pages can’t play animations.
Can I convert SVG to PDF?
Yes. SVG files are drawn at high resolution (300 dots per inch at Original quality) so lines and text stay sharp when printed.
Can I convert TIFF files?
TIFF files open in Safari. Chrome, Edge and Firefox can’t read TIFF images, so convert them to PNG or JPG first, or use Safari.
Quality and file size
Will converting my images to PDF reduce the quality?
Not with Original quality. JPG photos are copied into the PDF byte for byte with no re-compression, and other formats are stored losslessly. Balanced and Smaller file reduce the resolution to 200 or 130 dots per inch at the printed size, which most people can’t tell apart on screen.
How do I make the PDF file smaller?
Choose Smaller file under Quality. It resizes images to 130 dots per inch at the size they appear on the page and saves them as compressed JPG, which often makes a PDF of phone photos 5 to 20 times smaller. Black and white makes it a little smaller again.
Why is my PDF bigger than my images?
With Original quality, PNG, WebP and other non-JPG images are stored losslessly, which can take more space than the original compressed file. Choose Balanced or Smaller file to get a much smaller PDF.
Can I make a black and white PDF?
Yes. In More options set Color to Black and white. Images are converted to grayscale, which is useful for printing scanned documents.
What does pixels per inch mean in More options?
It sets how big an image is when the page size is Same size as image or the fit is Actual size. 96 matches how images look on most screens. 300 makes pages smaller and is common for print photos; 72 makes them larger.
Privacy and safety
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser. Your images are read and turned into a PDF on your own device and are never sent to Entertainment Couch or anyone else.
Is it safe to convert ID cards, contracts and receipts?
Yes. Because nothing is uploaded, private documents never leave your device. When you close or reload the page the images are cleared from memory.
Does the Image to PDF Converter work offline?
Yes, once the page has loaded. Conversion needs no internet connection, so you can switch to airplane mode and keep converting.
What does the converter remember?
Only your settings, such as page size and margins, stored in your browser so they’re ready next time. Your images and PDFs are not stored.
Devices and browsers
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The converter works in Safari and Chrome on iPhone and iPad, and in Chrome, Samsung Internet and Firefox on Android. You can add photos from your gallery or take new ones with the camera.
Which browsers are supported?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Samsung Internet on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android and iOS.
Where does the PDF go on my phone?
On Android it’s saved to the Downloads folder. On iPhone and iPad, Safari asks to download it and saves it in the Files app under Downloads. Use Share, where offered, to send it straight to Mail, WhatsApp or Drive.
Troubleshooting
Why is my photo sideways?
Phones store photos with a rotation tag. The converter reads that tag and turns photos upright automatically. If a photo still looks wrong, press its rotate button until it looks right in the preview.
An image won’t open. What can I do?
The file may be damaged, or in a format your browser can’t read, such as HEIC outside Safari. Open it in your photo app and save or export it as JPG or PNG, then add it again.
The download didn’t start. What should I do?
Press Download PDF again and check your browser’s download bar or prompt. Some browsers ask for permission the first time a site downloads a file. On iPhone, look in Files › Downloads.
Converting is slow or the page stopped responding.
Large batches of high-resolution photos use a lot of memory. Choose Balanced or Smaller file, convert fewer images at a time, and close other tabs. Most phones handle 100 photos at Balanced without trouble.
