JPG to PDF

1. Add your JPG files. Drag them onto the upload box or pick them from your device. Files ending in .jpg or .jpeg are accepted on this page, and one PDF holds up to 10 of them.
2. Set the order. Pages run from the top of the list to the bottom, one photo each. The up and down arrows beside a file move it, and the X button takes it off the list.
3. Review the options. Under the list you will see Page size, Orientation and Margin (mm). They start at Fit each image, Automatic and 0, so each page matches the size of its own photo.
4. Select Convert to PDF. The photos are uploaded to private storage, then our servers assemble the PDF and report how many images are done.
5. Sign in, then download. The result page asks you to sign in with Google or an emailed code. Accounts are free and have no password. After that you can preview the PDF and download it, or choose Save to my documents to keep it.

A JPG is a single picture. A PDF is a document that can hold many pages, so it suits sending several photos as one file, such as the pages of a form, a set of receipts or a signed contract you photographed.

• Choose a PDF when you want several images together in a fixed order, when a form or portal asks for a PDF, or when you want every page to be the same paper size for printing.
• Keep the JPG when you have one picture to post, edit or share. JPG opens in nearly every photo app, browser and editor, and you can crop or retouch it directly.
• A PDF of photos is still pictures. Each page holds your photo as an image, so you cannot select or search words in it. Docubox does not read the text in your photos when it builds the PDF.
• File size follows your photos. A standard JPG goes into the PDF with its image data unchanged, so the PDF is roughly as large as the photos put together. To make it smaller, shrink the photos first with Compress image.

• Page size and margins. Left alone, each page takes the size of its photo, so nothing is cropped or stretched. Pick A4 or Letter for a fixed paper size: each photo is then scaled to fit inside the page, keeps its proportions and sits in the center. Small photos are enlarged to fill the page on those sizes, so a low-resolution picture can look soft. Margin (mm) leaves empty space around each photo, from 0 to 50 millimeters.
• Details inside the photo stay out of the PDF. The camera model, the date taken, a GPS location, comments and similar information stored in a JPG are not copied. The picture data of a standard JPG goes in unchanged, with no new compression.
• Some photos are saved again. A photo with an EXIF rotation flag that turns it, as many phone photos have, is turned upright and re-saved as a high-quality JPEG, which is not lossless. A JPG that cannot be copied as it is gets the same treatment, and a CMYK file is also converted to RGB, so its colors can shift. The result page shows a note when this happens. A multi-picture JPG (MPO), which some phones save with a depth map, is accepted, and only its main picture goes into the PDF.
• Limits. A PDF can hold up to 10 photos totaling no more than 25 MB, and each photo may be up to 40 megapixels. A photo over the pixel limit is rejected, so save a smaller copy and try again. HEIC photos are not accepted.
• Other formats. This page takes JPG files only. For PNG or WebP images, or a mix of all three, use Images to PDF. Its page size, orientation and margin options are the same as the ones here.
• The PDF takes its name from the first photo, so put the one you want to lead the document first in the list.

Need the pages back as pictures later? PDF to JPG turns each page of a PDF into a JPG. To join this PDF with other PDFs, use Merge PDF.
