How to combine photos into one PDF
Whether it is receipts for an expense claim, pages of a hand-drawn plan or a set of screenshots, one PDF is easier to send and keep than a pile of separate images. Here is how to combine them, and how to get the layout you want.
Open JPG to PDFCombine photos, scans and images — JPG or JPEG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, BMP or TIFF — into one PDF.
Combine images step by step
- Open JPG to PDF and add your images. It takes JPG and JPEG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, BMP and TIFF, and you can mix them.
- Drag the thumbnails into the order you want the pages to appear.
- Choose the page size and how each image sits on it (see below).
- Select Create PDF and download it.
On the Free plan each task takes up to 3 images; Premium takes up to 25. For more on the Free plan, create several PDFs and join them with Merge PDF.
Getting the layout right
- Page size: A4 or Letter for documents you will print, or Fit image to make every page exactly the size of its picture, with no white border. Fit image suits photo sets and screenshots.
- Orientation: Auto turns each page to match its image, so landscape photos get landscape pages.
- Image fit: Fit shows the whole image; Fill covers the page and may crop the edges; Stretch fills the page exactly and may distort.
- Margins: none, small or big, for a framed look or edge-to-edge pages.
Photo quality, transparency and sideways photos
JPEG photos go into the PDF exactly as they are, with no re-compression, so the PDF is as sharp as your originals. PNG images are lossless and keep any transparent areas. If you only have PNGs, such as screenshots or logos, PNG to PDF is made for them.
Phone photos that are stored sideways with a "rotate me" note come out the right way up.
iPhone photos in HEIC format
iPhones can save photos as HEIC, which Papermint does not read. When you pick photos in a browser on the iPhone itself they are usually converted to JPEG automatically. If a .heic file is refused, export it as JPEG first, or set Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible so new photos are saved as JPEG.
