Image to PDF online

What Image to PDF does

Image to PDF puts images into a PDF, one image per page. It is the usual way to send several photos, scans or screenshots as a single document, for example receipts for an expense claim or photographed pages of a paper form.

JPG files are normally embedded as they are, without re-encoding. Other formats are decoded in the browser and stored as JPEG at the quality you choose, or as PNG when the image has transparent areas. Images are placed in the order of the file list, and each one is scaled to fit and centered on its page.

How to use Image to PDF

1. Drop your PNG, JPG, WEBP, HEIC, AVIF, GIF, and BMP files into the box, or click to choose them.
2. Pick the output format and any options.
3. Click Convert. The conversion runs on your device.
4. Download each file, or all of them at once as a ZIP.

When to use Image to PDF

• Combine photos of paper receipts into one PDF to attach to an expense report or send to an accountant.
• Turn phone photos of a signed contract or a filled-in paper form into a single PDF that can be sent by email.
• Collect screenshots of an error message, a chat or a booking confirmation into one document for customer support or your records.
• Put scanned pages of homework, drawings or a handwritten essay into one PDF for a school upload portal.

Settings explained

Page size

Same as image, the default, makes each page as large as its image plus the margin, at 96 pixels per inch. Choose A4, Letter, A3, A5 or Legal when the PDF will be printed or needs a standard size.

Orientation

Only shown when a fixed page size is selected. Automatic uses landscape pages for images that are wider than tall and portrait pages for the rest. Portrait or Landscape uses the same orientation for every page.

Margin

White space around each image, from 0 to 72 points, where 72 points is one inch (25.4 mm). The default is 0. A margin of 18 to 36 points looks good on printed pages.

Quality

JPEG quality from 30 to 100 percent, default 92, for images that have to be re-encoded, such as PNG, HEIC or WEBP. JPG files embedded unchanged and images with transparency, which are stored as PNG, are not affected.

Format comparison

What is PNG?

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is an image format introduced by W3C in 1996. It uses lossless compression and supports transparency. Files use the .png extension.

PNG was created in the mid-1990s as a free replacement for GIF, whose compression method was covered by patents at the time. It applies a filtering step and then compresses pixels with the DEFLATE algorithm, so every pixel is kept exactly. It supports full color, grayscale, palette images and a full alpha channel for smooth transparency.

PNG is the right choice for screenshots, logos, icons, diagrams, user interface graphics and any image with sharp edges, text or flat colors. It is also a safe format for images that need transparent backgrounds or will be edited again.

Because PNG is lossless, photos saved as PNG are often several times larger than the same photo saved as JPG or WebP. PNG has no lossy mode, and a standard PNG file cannot store animation.

PNG opens in every modern web browser, on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, and in practically all image viewers, image editors, office suites and design tools. It is one of the most widely supported image formats.

What is JPG?

JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is an image format introduced by JPEG in 1992. It uses lossy compression and has no transparency. Files use the .jpg or .jpeg extension.

JPG, also written JPEG, is named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which wrote the standard. It splits an image into small blocks, transforms each block with a discrete cosine transform and discards the fine detail that the eye notices least. A quality setting controls how much detail is removed and therefore the file size.

JPG is the standard choice for photographs and other images with smooth color gradients, such as camera pictures, product photos and images for email or social media. It gives small files with good visual quality at moderate settings.

JPG does not support transparency or animation. Each time a JPG is edited and saved again, it loses a little more quality. Text, line art and sharp edges can show visible blocks or halos at low quality settings.

JPG is supported everywhere: in all web browsers, on all desktop and mobile operating systems, and on cameras, phones and printers. All image editors and office programs open it. It is the most compatible format for sharing photos.

What is WEBP?

WEBP (WebP) is an image format introduced by Google in 2010. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, supports transparency and can store animation. Files use the .webp extension.

WebP was developed by Google to make images on the web smaller. Its lossy mode is based on the VP8 video codec, and it also has a separate lossless mode. Both modes can include an alpha channel for transparency. The format also supports animation, so it can replace JPG, PNG and GIF in many cases.

WebP is a good choice for images on websites and in apps, where smaller files load faster. It works for photos, graphics with transparency and short animations, often at a smaller size than JPG, PNG or GIF.

Some older software, image editors, print services and upload forms still do not accept WebP. Lossy WebP always reduces color resolution, which can blur fine colored detail. At very high quality settings, the size benefit over JPG can be small.

All current major browsers display WebP, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on recent versions of macOS and iOS. Windows, macOS, Android and most modern image editors open it, but some older desktop programs do not.

What is HEIC?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF)) is an image format introduced by MPEG in 2015. It uses lossy compression and supports transparency. Files use the .heic or .heif extension.

HEIC is an image stored in the HEIF container and compressed with the HEVC (H.265) video codec. Apple made it the default photo format on iPhones starting with iOS 11. One file can hold several images, depth maps and other data, and it keeps quality similar to JPG at a noticeably smaller size.

HEIC is good for storing many photos on a phone, because it saves space while keeping good quality. It can also keep extra information in the same file, such as the depth data used for portrait effects.

Most websites and many Windows and Android apps cannot open HEIC files directly. The HEVC codec is covered by patents, which limits free support. When you share photos outside Apple devices, converting to JPG is often necessary.

HEIC opens natively on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Recent Windows versions can open it with the HEIF and HEVC extensions from the Microsoft Store, and many recent Android phones can read it. Most browsers other than Safari cannot display it.

Why use FansBond Image to PDF

Most online converters upload your files to their servers. FansBond Image to PDF does the work inside your browser instead, using WebAssembly and modern browser APIs. Your files stay on your device, which is safer for private photos, contracts and unreleased work, and it is often faster because nothing has to upload or download.

There are no queues, no watermarks and no account. Once the page has loaded, the tool keeps working even on a slow connection.

Tips for the best result

• Use the up and down arrows next to each file to set the page order before you create the PDF. The first file in the list becomes page 1.
• With Same as image, a photo 4000 pixels wide gives a page more than one meter wide. Choose A4 or Letter for documents that will be printed.
• JPG files are embedded without reading the rotation tag that some phones and cameras store. If a photo appears sideways in the PDF, turn that page with Rotate PDF.
• With one image, the PDF is named after that image. With several images, the result is called images.pdf, so rename it before you send it.

How Image to PDF works in your browser

The PDF is opened with pdf-lib, an open-source PDF library that runs in your browser. Pages are copied, rotated, resized or cropped at the PDF object level, so text stays text and vector graphics stay sharp.

Because the original page content is copied rather than re-rendered, there is no quality loss. The only exception is an option that explicitly turns pages into images. The new PDF is assembled in memory on your device and offered as a download.

Privacy and security

Most online converters upload your files to a server, process them there and keep a copy for some time. Image to PDF works differently: the code is downloaded to your browser once, and your files are read and written only on your device.

You can check this yourself: after the page has loaded, turn off your internet connection and the tool still works. This makes it safe for contracts, IDs, medical records, private photos and unreleased work.
