How to use the JPG to PDF converter
- Add the JPG photos and use the arrows to put them in page order.
- Choose a page size. A4 or Letter with a margin looks like a normal printed document; “Same as the image” keeps full-bleed pages.
- Keep the combine box ticked for a single document, or untick it to receive a separate PDF for each photo, which some forms ask for.
- Press Convert to PDF and save it.
The photos are not recompressed
A PDF can store JPEG data as it is, so each photo is embedded byte for byte. The PDF is only slightly larger than the photos combined, and there is no extra loss of sharpness on handwriting or stamps.
Phone photos that depend on an orientation tag to appear upright are the exception: they are decoded, turned upright and saved again at quality 92, so no page ends up sideways.
Making it look like a document
Pick a standard paper size and each photo sits in the middle of its page, shrunk where needed so it stays within the margin you chose. Landscape shots get landscape pages unless you fix one orientation, and small photos keep their size unless you tick the enlarge option under More settings.
With “Same as the image” each page takes the photo’s size at 96 pixels per inch. That suits on-screen reading but prints as one very large page.
Questions
How many photos can go into one PDF?
There is no set limit. Since nothing is re-encoded, even a few hundred photos are processed in seconds.
Are my ID photos uploaded?
No. The PDF is assembled in your browser and saved from there.
The file is too big for the portal. What now?
Run the finished PDF through Compress PDF, which recompresses the photos to a smaller size. Recommended level is usually enough for photos taken with a phone.
