Images never leave your device

Or drag and drop them here. JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, HEIC and more. Your images stay on this device.

How to use the JPG to PDF

  1. Tap "Choose images" or drop your photos onto the box. You can add more at any time.
  2. Put the images in order with the arrows. Each image becomes one page, top to bottom.
  3. Choose the page size (A4, US Letter or the same size as the image), orientation and margin.
  4. Name the file and press Convert. The PDF downloads straight away.

From phone photos to a document officers accept

Most government and bank portals in the Gulf want a PDF, not a set of photos. When you photograph a passport, a salary certificate or a tenancy contract with your phone, you get separate JPG or HEIC files. This tool combines them into one PDF with one image per page, sized to A4 so it prints and displays like a normal document. Photos taken in landscape go on landscape pages automatically, and portrait photos on portrait pages, unless you choose otherwise.

Sideways phone photos fixed automatically

Phones often save a photo sideways and add a hidden tag that tells the gallery app to turn it. Many converters ignore that tag, so the page comes out rotated in the PDF. This tool reads the tag and turns the image the right way up before adding it. Ordinary JPG and PNG files that need no turning are added as they are, with no re-compression, so text in your scans stays exactly as sharp as in the original photo.

Private: the conversion happens on your device

The images are decoded by your own browser and the PDF is built in memory with the open-source pdf-lib library, then saved to your device. Nothing is uploaded to NeedMyTools or anyone else, which matters when the images are identity documents or medical papers. Once the page has loaded the tool even works offline. There is no account, no watermark and no limit on the number of conversions.

Choosing size, orientation and margins

A4 is the standard paper size in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and almost everywhere outside North America, so it is the default. Choose US Letter if the PDF is going to an American organisation. "Same size as image" makes each page exactly as large as its picture, which suits screenshots and designs. A small margin gives scans a clean white border; choose no margin for full-bleed photos. If a portal limits the file size, take photos at a lower resolution or use fewer images per file.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert several JPGs into one PDF?

Choose all the images at once or add them in batches, arrange them with the arrows, then press Convert. Each image becomes one page of the same PDF.

Can I convert iPhone HEIC photos to PDF?

Yes, on browsers that can open HEIC, such as Safari on iPhone and Mac. On other browsers, set your iPhone camera to "Most Compatible" so it saves JPG.

Will the image quality drop?

No for normal JPG and PNG files: they are embedded unchanged. Rotated photos and other formats are re-encoded at high quality.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Everything happens inside your browser and the PDF is saved straight to your device.

Why is my photo sideways in other converters but not here?

Phones store the rotation in a hidden tag. This tool reads that tag and turns the image upright before placing it on the page.
