Three simple steps
How to convert JPG images to PDF
- 1
Add JPG, PNG or WebP images
Select multiple photos, scans or screenshots from your phone or computer.
- 2
Arrange and design the pages
Set image order, rotation, page size, orientation, margins, fit and professional finishing options.
- 3
Create and download
Generate one combined PDF or a ZIP containing a separate PDF for every source image.
A document builder, not a basic converter
Create a finished PDF from photos, scans and screenshots
Basic converters place one photo on one page and stop. Rantey adds the controls needed for real documents: an optional cover, filename captions, consistent paper sizes, automatic orientation, page numbering and duplex preparation. Every setting is visible before the PDF is created.
Page size, placement and margin guide
| Setting | Best for | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| A4 / Letter | Printing, forms and office documents | Keeps every page a consistent paper size |
| Fit to image | Photo portfolios and mixed proportions | Creates a page matching each image shape |
| Show whole image | Scans and evidence | Preserves every edge inside the margins |
| Fill page and crop | Photo books and full-bleed pages | Fills the available page and crops overflow |
| Actual size | Images prepared at a known size | Places pixels at approximately 96 DPI |
Convert long screenshots into readable PDF pages
A tall screenshot can become unreadably small when forced onto one A4 page. With long screenshot slicing enabled, the tool calculates the printable page area and divides the image into consecutive sections. This is useful for web-page captures, chat exports, receipts, tutorials and mobile app records. The original order is preserved and no intermediate files are uploaded.
Image quality and approximate PDF size
Optimized JPG encoding usually creates the smallest PDF for photographs and scans. PNG is lossless and better for graphics or text-heavy screenshots, but can produce larger files. Smart mode preserves PNG-style quality when appropriate and uses JPG for ordinary photographs. An optional target size makes additional quality passes when the first PDF is larger than requested; the result is approximate because page content compresses differently.
Private image-to-PDF conversion
Images are decoded, rotated, arranged and embedded using browser APIs and a local PDF library. They are never posted to the Rantey server. Re-encoding also prevents original EXIF blocks from being copied into the PDF image streams. Large batches still use your device memory, so the tool limits projects to 40 images, 150 MB total and 32 megapixels per source.
Common questions
JPG to PDF FAQ
How do I convert JPG images to one PDF?+
Add one or more JPG, PNG or WebP images, arrange their order, select the page layout and choose Create PDF.
Can I combine multiple photos into a single PDF?+
Yes. Rantey can combine up to 40 images into one ordered PDF or create a separate PDF for every image in a ZIP file.
Can I convert a long screenshot into multiple PDF pages?+
Yes. Enable Long screenshot slicing. Tall images are divided at page boundaries instead of being shrunk into one unreadable page.
Can I choose A4, Letter or image-sized PDF pages?+
Yes. Choose A4, Letter, Legal, A3 or Fit each page to its image. Fixed pages support automatic, portrait or landscape orientation.
Can I add a cover and page numbers?+
Yes. Add a title and subtitle cover, filename captions and page numbers to create a finished document.
Are photo metadata and location details copied into the PDF?+
Images are decoded and re-encoded in the browser before embedding, which removes EXIF location and camera metadata from the image stream.
Can I control the finished PDF file size?+
You can choose image quality or enter an approximate target PDF size. The tool reduces image encoding quality when needed.
Are my images uploaded?+
No. Image decoding, page creation and PDF download happen inside your browser. Rantey does not receive the files.
