How do I convert images to a PDF?

Add the images, set the order and the page options, then click Create PDF and Download. One image becomes one page. The file is named pixzeno-images.pdf.

Can I put several images in one PDF?

Yes. Each accepted image becomes one page, in the order shown. You can add more, remove one, or move rows before you create the file. The limit is 20 images.

Can I change the page order?

Yes. Move up, Move down, and dragging a row change the list. The PDF uses that list.

Can I mix JPG and PNG?

Yes. JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF can go in the same PDF. HEIC cannot. Convert that photo to JPG first.

Does this reduce image quality?

An upright JPEG is copied, so that picture is not compressed again. A sideways JPEG, a WebP, or a GIF is redrawn. The PDF is not promised to be smaller than the images.

What happens to a transparent PNG?

The page behind the image is white, so the clear areas look white.

Are my images uploaded?

No. The PDF is built in your browser. A temporary copy stays on this device only if another PixZeno tool already saved the images in this browser.

Can the words in the picture be searched?

No. The page places the image on a PDF page. It does not read the words, and it does not merge PDF files you already have.

Combine images into one PDF

How to make a PDF from images

The tool is above this article. Choose the images, set the page, then download one file named pixzeno-images.pdf.

Add images with Browse files, or drop them on the page. You can add more after the first ones.
The number beside each name is the page number. Move up and Move down change that list, and so does dragging a row. Remove takes that image out.
Set Page to A4 or Letter. Set Orientation to Portrait, Landscape, or Auto. Set Margin to None, Small, or Normal. Set Image on page to Show the whole image or Cover the page.
Click Create PDF, then Download.

One image, or several

One image becomes a one-page PDF. Several images become one PDF, with one page for each image, in the order of the list after you change it.

A file that cannot be read stays in the list with an error and is left out of the PDF. The status then says some files were skipped. You can add up to 20 images. Each file can be up to 25 MB, and no side can be longer than 12,000 pixels.

Page order

The PDF uses the list you see, not the order in which the files were first chosen. Move up, Move down, and a drag all change that list before Create PDF. Those two buttons work from the keyboard once they are focused. Removing a row removes that page. Adding another image puts it at the end until you move it.

Paper size

A4 and Letter are paper sizes, not the photo’s pixel size. A4 portrait is 595.28 by 841.89 points. Letter portrait is 612 by 792 points. Landscape swaps the two sides, so A4 landscape is 841.89 by 595.28 points and Letter landscape is 792 by 612 points.

Auto chooses portrait or landscape for each page from the upright image. A wider image gets a landscape page. A taller image, or a square one, stays portrait. Pages in the same PDF can differ when Auto is on. This is not a 300 DPI control. There is no custom size, and the page is not set to the image’s pixel dimensions.

Margins and how the image sits

None, Small, and Normal are 0, 18, and 36 points on every side. The page size itself does not change. Show the whole image scales the photo evenly inside that margin and leaves the rest of the page white. Cover the page fills that inner area and crops whatever does not fit. Neither option stretches the photo.

A wide test image with a yellow left edge and a cyan right edge kept both edges when the setting was Show the whole image. Cover the page filled the sheet with the middle of that image and cut the colored edges off.

JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF

The page reads the file, not only the name. JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, and a still GIF are accepted, including a JPEG whose name ends in .png. HEIC, AVIF, BMP, and SVG are not. An iPhone photo that is still HEIC needs to become a JPG first.

An animated GIF or an animated WebP becomes one still page, from the first frame, not one page per frame. A transparent PNG or WebP is drawn on a white page, so the clear areas look white. An opaque WebP is stored as a JPEG.

Quality and file size

An upright JPEG is copied into the PDF. That picture is not compressed again, and its image data matches the file you added. Camera and location data are removed from that copy when they are present. A color profile in an upright JPEG can remain.

A JPEG stored sideways is drawn upright once, and that page is a new JPEG. A test file stored at 320 by 200, with a camera orientation that turns it upright, was embedded at 200 by 320. A photo that carried a camera name and a location did not carry those into the PDF. WebP and GIF are redrawn as well. A small image and a 2,000 by 1,200 image were both embedded at their own pixel size. The PDF can end up larger or smaller than the images you started with. If a picture needs to be lighter first, compress it, then make the PDF.

A PDF page is not another image format

Image Converter changes a JPG, PNG, or WebP into another of those formats. This page makes PDF pages from image files. It does not merge PDFs you already have, edit text inside a PDF, or add a signature.

Words in the picture stay part of the picture. This page does not turn them into searchable text, and it does not run OCR. Resize Image changes pixel width and height. This page fits the image onto paper instead.

Where the PDF is built

Create PDF runs in the browser that opened this page. The images are not uploaded to a conversion service. The code that builds the PDF is loaded from this site when you create the file, not from another host.

This page can open images already saved in this browser by another PixZeno tool. Creating the PDF does not send that copy anywhere. Clear images saved in this browser, in the footer, removes it.
