Opening index.html directly from a folder blocks JavaScript modules, so nothing will happen when you choose images. Serve the folder over http instead:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File serve.ps1

Images to PDF — JPG to PDF converter

Your images are processed in your browser. No processing upload.

The document is written in memory on this machine, a page at a time, by code served from this address. Nothing here can make an upload, and there is no server on the other end of this page to receive one.

Don't take our word for it: open DevTools, watch the Network tab, and make a PDF. Not one request carries an image, a thumbnail, or a filename. Or unplug from the internet and make one anyway.

How to turn images into a PDF

  1. Choose your images. Drop a folder onto the picker, or select the files by hand. They are read straight off your disk by the browser; nothing is sent anywhere while you do it.
  2. Put the pages in order, and turn any that need it. One image becomes one page, in the order shown. Drag a tile by its handle to move it, or use the arrows; the rotate buttons turn a page a quarter at a time, which is what a sideways scan usually needs.
  3. Choose a page size. "Fit the page to each image" makes every page exactly its picture, with nothing cropped and no white bands. The named sizes — A4, Letter, Legal and the rest — place each picture on a fixed page instead, with a margin if you want one.
  4. Create the PDF and download it. The document is written on your own machine, so how long it takes depends on your hardware rather than on a queue. The finished file is handed straight to your browser's downloads.

How to combine images into one PDF Turn photos or scans into a single PDF: page size, order and rotation, why a JPEG need not lose any quality on the way in, and what a PDF tells the person you send it to.

Questions

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Your images are read and the PDF is written by your own browser on your own hardware. There is no server side to this tool, and the page's Content-Security-Policy names every address it may contact — none of them belongs to this site. Unlike some of the other tools here, this one has no optional network feature at all.

Does converting to PDF lose quality?

Not for a JPEG, on the default setting. PDF can carry JPEG data directly, so a photograph is copied into the document byte for byte: it is never decoded and never compressed again, and the picture in the PDF is the picture in the file. Other formats have to be re-encoded, because PDF has no filter for them — unless you choose the lossless setting, which stores them exactly at the cost of a larger file.

Which image formats can I use?

Any still image your browser can decode, which in practice means JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF and, on Apple devices, HEIC. There is no separate list to keep up to date here, because the decoding is the browser's job rather than ours.

Can I choose the page size and the order of the pages?

Yes. Pages can be A4, Letter, Legal, A3, A5, Tabloid, a size you type in, or exactly the size of each picture. Drag the tiles to reorder them, sort them by name or date, rotate any of them a quarter turn, and set a margin in millimetres.

How many images can I put in one PDF?

There is no limit built into the tool. The practical ceiling is your own machine's memory, because the finished document is assembled there before you download it. A few hundred phone photos at full resolution is the first thing to feel it; shrinking the longest side, in the settings, moves that ceiling a long way.

Does the PDF contain my file names or a timestamp?

No, unless you ask for one. The document information block is left empty except for the name of this tool: no file names, no machine name, no user name, and no creation date unless you tick the box for it. That is deliberate — a PDF is a thing people send to other people.

Is it free, and do I need an account?

It is free, and there is no account, no sign-in and no trial. The site carries advertising, which is what pays for it; the ads are not given anything about your images.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Load the page once, then disconnect from the internet and it keeps working. That is also the simplest way to prove nothing is being uploaded: a tool that sent your images away to be made into a document would stop the moment you unplugged.
