Convert JPG to PDF
Turn JPG photos into a PDF you can share, print or attach. Everything happens in your browser, so your photos never leave your device.
Why convert JPG to PDF?
JPG is everywhere, but its lossy compression and lack of transparency aren't right for every job. PDF puts images on pages that print and share reliably, and several images can go into one tidy file.
Combine several images into one PDF
Add several JPG files and they can go into a single PDF with one image per page. Each page is sized to its image, so nothing is cropped or stretched. A single JPG becomes a one-page PDF.
Where PDF files work
Every browser, operating system and phone has a PDF viewer built in, and PDF is accepted almost anywhere documents are.
Receipts, forms and notes in one file
A common use is turning phone photos of receipts, signed forms or handwritten notes into a single PDF that's easy to email or upload. Add all the photos at once and they become the pages of one document.

Questions
Can I combine several JPG files into one PDF?
Yes. Add all the JPG files and they become one PDF with one image per page, each page sized to its image. A single JPG gives you a one-page PDF.
Will converting JPG to PDF reduce quality?
Each JPG is placed on a page sized to match it, so nothing is cropped or scaled down to fit a paper size.
Is JPG the same as JPEG?
Yes. JPG and JPEG are the same format; the shorter .jpg extension dates from older versions of Windows that only allowed three-letter extensions. Format Hero accepts both.
Are my JPG photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, on your own device, so your photos are never sent to a server. Once the page and converter have loaded, it keeps working even if your connection drops.
