Convert JPG, PNG and HEIC photos to PDF
Turn one photo or many into a single PDF, one photo per page. Choose Letter or A4, portrait or landscape, and the margin, then download it or send it as a fax. Free, no account, and nothing is uploaded: the PDF is made in your browser on this device.

Nothing is uploaded. Your photos are opened and the PDF is made by your browser on this device; they are gone when you close the tab.
Drop photos here
JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC, up to 100 photos. Pick several at once.
How to use it
- Choose or drop your photos. You can pick several at once and add more later.
- Choose the page size (Letter, A4 or the photo's own shape), the orientation and the margin.
- Put the photos in order and turn any that are sideways.
- Download the PDF, or send it as a fax.
How this works
Everything runs in your browser, with the open-source libraries pdf.js (to read and draw pages) and pdf-lib (to write the PDF). This is what happens to your files.
- Opening the photos
- Your browser opens each photo and turns it upright using the orientation your camera saved with it. It is scaled down to at most 2,400 pixels on its long side, which is more than a Letter page needs at 200 dpi, and saved as a JPEG. Transparent parts of a PNG become white.
- HEIC photos
- iPhones save photos as HEIC. Safari on iPhone, iPad and Mac can open them, so they work here in Safari. Most other browsers can't read HEIC; there, save the photo as JPG first (or add it directly on FaxUp's send page, which converts HEIC when it sends).
- Placing them on the page
- Each photo gets its own page. It is scaled to fit inside the margin without cropping or stretching, and centred. Automatic orientation makes a page landscape when the photo is wider than it is tall. 'Same shape as the photo' makes the page the photo's shape, 11 inches on its long side.
- The PDF
- pdf-lib writes the PDF with the photos as JPEG images. Turning a photo sets the page's rotation, so nothing is re-compressed. Nothing is sent to a server at any point.
Questions
Is anything uploaded?
No. The photos are opened and the PDF is made by your browser on your device. They are not sent to FaxUp or anyone else, and they are gone when you close the tab. Our analytics record that the tool was used, the number of photos and the layout you chose, never the images. If you choose to fax the PDF, it is uploaded at that point, on the send page, as part of sending it.
Can I convert HEIC photos from my iPhone?
Yes, in Safari on iPhone, iPad or Mac, which can read HEIC. Chrome, Edge and Firefox on most computers can't, and the tool tells you when a photo can't be opened. On an iPhone you can also choose Settings > Camera > Formats > Most Compatible to take JPG photos.
Which page size should I choose?
Letter (8.5 by 11 inches) is the usual size in the US and Canada, A4 almost everywhere else. If you are going to fax it, either works; keep a small margin, because fax machines print a header line at the top and may cut the edges.
Is there a limit?
Up to 100 photos at a time, each up to 100 MB. It is free, with no account and no watermark. Many large photos can be slow on an older phone, because all the work happens on your device.
Will my photos lose quality?
A little: photos larger than 2,400 pixels on the long side are scaled down to that, and saved as high-quality JPEG. That is still more than 200 dots per inch on a full Letter page, the resolution of a fine-mode fax.
