JPG to PDF Converter — Free & Private
Someone has asked you for a PDF and all you have is photographs. Convert it here — in your browser, with nothing uploaded anywhere.
Why convert JPG to PDF?
Council forms, insurance claims, rental applications, school portals and expense systems overwhelmingly want a PDF, and a surprising number of them reject a JPG outright even when the content is identical. This makes one PDF page per photo, sized to match the picture so nothing is cropped and nothing is padded with white margins you did not ask for.
The catch worth knowing about
Each image becomes its own PDF file, not one document with several pages. If you need a single multi-page PDF, convert them here and then combine the results in any PDF tool — or in Preview on a Mac, which does it by dragging.
One tip before you start
The quality slider controls the JPG stored inside the PDF. Photographs of documents stay readable well below the default, and dropping to around 70% typically halves the file size for a form that has an upload limit.

The page image inside the PDF is JPG-compressed at 92% quality, so it is lossy in the same way and to the same degree as a JPG export.
Do my JPG files get uploaded?
No. The conversion runs on your device, in the browser tab you are reading this in. You can prove it: disconnect from the internet and convert anyway.
Is it free, and how many JPG files can I do at once?
Free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. Up to 200 files per batch, downloadable individually or as one ZIP.
