Why convert JPG to PDF?

- Converting a phone-snapped image of a paper form into a PDF before submission.
How our converter works
Your JPG is loaded into a new PDF document via pdf-lib's embedJpg, with the page sized to match the image dimensions exactly. The result is a single-page PDF that preserves the original JPEG's quality — no recompression. Conversion runs entirely in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
Are JPG and JPEG the same thing?
Yes — JPG and JPEG are interchangeable file extensions for the exact same format (Joint Photographic Experts Group). The only reason both exist is that early Windows limited extensions to three letters, so .jpeg got shortened to .jpg. 'JPG to PDF', 'JPEG to PDF', 'jpg em pdf', 'jpeg em pdf' — all the same conversion.
How do I merge multiple JPGs into a single PDF?
Two-step flow on FormatFixer: convert each JPG to PDF here (drop them all at once for a batch), then use our Merge PDF tool to combine the resulting PDFs into one document. People search for this as 'merge jpg to pdf', 'merge jpg', 'jpg merge', 'image to pdf', 'unir pdf', or 'gabung jpg' — they all describe this two-step workflow.
How is this different from ILovePDF or Smallpdf for JPG to PDF?
Both are fine tools. The key difference is privacy: ILovePDF and Smallpdf upload your file to their servers; FormatFixer runs the conversion in your browser, so the JPG never leaves your device. There are also no daily file limits, no paywalls for large files, and no signup. For one-off conversions either works; for sensitive content (IDs, receipts, contracts), browser-only is the safer choice.
Will the JPG be recompressed?
No — the JPEG bytes are embedded directly in the PDF, so no quality is lost. The output PDF is roughly the size of the input JPG plus a small structural overhead.
Will the page size match the image?
Yes. The PDF page is sized 1:1 to the image's pixel dimensions, so no whitespace or scaling. If you need a fixed page size (Letter, A4) with the image centered, use a desktop tool like Preview or Acrobat.
Can I convert multiple JPGs into one PDF?
Not yet from this single-file tool — that's the merge-pdf use case. For now, convert each JPG to PDF separately, then use the merge-pdf tool to combine them into one.
Are my files uploaded?
No. pdf-lib runs as JavaScript in your browser. Receipts, scanned IDs, contracts — nothing is uploaded.
About the JPG format
JPG (JPEG) is the standard photographic format — the camera output, the screenshot save, the universal sharing format for everyday images. PDF is the universal document format — what receipts, contracts, and invoices typically arrive as. Converting JPG → PDF is the standard step when an image needs to act as a document: expense uploads, ID submissions, contract scans, anything where the receiver expects a PDF rather than a raw image. The conversion is lossless on the JPEG data; only a thin PDF wrapper is added.
