Why convert JPG to PDF?
- Turning a photo of a receipt or invoice into a PDF for expense reports.
- Converting a scanned ID or passport image into PDF for an online form upload.
- Saving a screenshot or photo of a contract page as a PDF for a tax-prep or legal workflow.
- Sending a JPG of a sketch, whiteboard, or doodle to a colleague who'd rather have a PDF.
- Making a single-page PDF cover sheet from a photo for a printed document.
- 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
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.
