About converting JPG images to PDF
Photographs and scans arrive as JPG files, but almost every form, portal and inbox expects a PDF. Converting closes that gap. A landlord asks for proof of address and you have a photo of a bill; a lecturer wants handwritten work submitted as one document and you have eleven pictures of notebook pages; an insurer needs the damage photos in a single file. Turning those images into a PDF gives you one attachment with a predictable page order, rather than a folder of files named IMG_4821.
Page order and layout
Each image becomes one page, and the order of the list is the order of the document, so arrange the files before you convert. Drag them on a desktop, or use Move Up and Move Down on a touchscreen, and remove anything you added by accident. If your camera named the shots sequentially they usually load in the right order already, but it is worth a glance — phones sometimes sort by the moment a file was copied rather than taken.
You can also choose how each picture sits on the page. A4 and Letter produce a standard printable sheet with the image scaled to fit inside it, keeping its proportions so nothing is stretched. Fit to image makes every page exactly the size and orientation of the photo it holds, which avoids white borders and suits screen reading or mixed portrait and landscape sets. Pick a fixed paper size when the result will be printed, and fit to image when it will only be viewed.
Quality, size and privacy
JPG data is embedded into the PDF rather than being needlessly re-encoded, so the pages look like the originals and you do not pay a second round of compression. That does mean a document made from twelve twelve-megapixel photos will be a large file; if it has to fit an upload limit, run the finished PDF through Compress PDF afterwards. Only JPG files are accepted, and anything else you drop in is filtered out with a message rather than silently ignored.
The whole conversion runs in your browser using your own device. Your photographs are never uploaded, nothing is stored on a server, and no account, email address or watermark is involved.
