How to convert images to PDF
- 01
Add your images
Drop in any number of JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF or BMP files.
- 02
Put them in order
Drag to reorder, rotate any image that is the wrong way up, then choose the page size.
- 03
Make the PDF
One PDF with every image, or one PDF per image, saved straight to your device.
Questions
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. LocalPDF runs entirely in your browser: files are read from your disk, processed on your device and saved straight back. Nothing is sent to a server, and once the page has loaded it keeps working with your internet connection switched off.
Will the images lose quality?
No, not for JPEG and PNG. A JPEG is copied into the PDF exactly as it is, not re-saved, so the picture is byte for byte the one you had. A plain PNG is stored losslessly too. Other formats — WebP, AVIF, HEIC, GIF, BMP — are decoded and re-encoded once at high quality, because a PDF cannot hold them directly.
Are the photos’ location details kept?
Not by default. Camera GPS coordinates, timestamps and other EXIF details are stripped from the embedded images, while the picture data stays identical. Tick “Keep photo details” if you specifically want that metadata preserved.
Why did my photo come out sideways?
A camera often stores a portrait photo rotated, with an EXIF tag saying which way is up. The tool reads that tag and places the image the right way round, rather than rotating the pixels, which would cost quality. If a picture still looks wrong, use the rotate button on its row.
Can I put several images on one page?
Yes. Set Images per page to 2 or 4 and the tool lays them out in a grid. With “Fit to image” each picture gets its own page at its own shape, which is usually best for photos of different sizes.
Does it work with password-protected PDFs?
Not yet. Encrypted PDFs are turned away with a message rather than producing a broken file. Remove the protection in your PDF reader first, then try again.
What converting images to PDF does, and when to use it
Turning images into a PDF gathers loose pictures into one document that shares, prints and stores cleanly. It is the fix for a scan that arrived as four JPGs, a set of whiteboard photos, or a form that wants everything in one file. The result keeps the pictures; what it adds is order and a single container.
What separates a careful converter from a careless one is what happens to the pictures. Many tools decode every image and re-save it, quietly throwing away quality on the second pass. This one does not. A JPEG is embedded in the PDF as it stands, using the document format’s ability to hold a JPEG directly, so the image is unchanged. A plain PNG is stored losslessly as well. Only formats a PDF cannot hold — WebP, AVIF, HEIC, GIF and BMP — are decoded and encoded once, at high quality.
It also handles the awkward details. Phones and cameras often store a portrait photo rotated, with a tag describing which way is up; the tool reads that tag and orients the picture correctly, without rotating pixels and blurring them. And it removes the metadata by default, so the GPS location and camera details hidden in a photo’s EXIF do not travel into the document with it.
You choose how the pages are made. “Fit to image” gives each picture a page of its own shape, which suits photos of mixed sizes. A fixed size like A4 or Letter suits printing and mixing with other documents, and you can set the margins, the orientation and how many images share a page. When you would rather not combine them at all, one PDF per image is available as a ZIP.
Everything happens in your browser. The images are read from your disk and written into the PDF on your device, so a private set of photos never leaves it.
