JPG to PDF

Many forms accept only PDF, and a single document is easier to review than ten loose photos. Typical cases: both sides of an ID card, a receipt for an expense claim, a handwritten form photographed with a phone, or a set of certificates that must go in one upload.

No. JPG images are placed into the PDF unchanged, so they look exactly like the photos you added. PNG images keep their full quality. The trade-off is size: a PDF of full-resolution phone photos can be large. If it is too big for an upload form, compress it as a next step.

Choose A4 or Letter when the PDF will be printed or submitted where a standard paper size is expected; the image is fitted to the page. Choose Match image size when you just want each photo as its own page without white borders. A margin adds even white space around each image.

Lay the paper flat in daylight, hold the phone straight above it and fill the frame. Avoid flash, which leaves glare on glossy paper and stamps. Photograph each side of an ID card separately, then put the images in order here so the front comes first. More tips are in phone photos to PDF.

Photos from modern phones are large, so a PDF of a few pictures can pass a form’s limit. Open the PDF in Compress PDF, choose a size such as 2 MB, and check the preview of your own page before you run it. Converting first and compressing second keeps one clean step per job, and if the file can’t get smaller you get it back free.
