You have photos, screenshots or phone scans, and what you need is a single PDF: one file to email, upload to a form or print. Opening each picture and fiddling with it one by one is the slow way. Combining images into a PDF should take a minute, with no app and no sign-up.
Fit, A4 or US Letter: which page size?
Every image becomes one page. The page size decides how that page looks around your picture.
- Fit page to each image. The page takes the exact shape of the picture, with no white edges. Best for screenshots and when the picture is the page. Pages can end up in different sizes.
- A4. The standard sheet almost everywhere outside the US. Every page has the same size, and your picture sits in the middle with a white margin around it. Best for printing and official forms.
- US Letter. The same idea for the US and Canada, where Letter is the normal sheet.
If the PDF will be printed or uploaded somewhere official, pick A4 or Letter so every page matches. If it is just to look at, Fit is the simplest.
What the free Images → PDF tool does
Open the Images → PDF tab in GetPlugzz PDF Tools. Nothing is uploaded: your browser builds the PDF itself, on your own computer.
- It lists your images, one per page, top to bottom, with a small preview of each, so you can see the order the pages will have.
- You arrange them. Drag the ⠿ handle, or use the up and down arrows, and remove any picture with ✕.
- It builds each page. The picture is scaled to fit inside the page and the margin. It is never stretched or cropped, so a picture with a different shape leaves white bars.
- It saves one PDF. Every image is stored inside it as a high-quality JPEG (92%), and anything transparent turns white.
It accepts JPG, PNG and WebP. Photos taken on an iPhone are often HEIC, which the tool does not read yet, so turn those into JPG first (see how to convert HEIC to JPG).
How to combine images into a PDF, step by step
- Open the tool. Go to getplugzz.com/pdf-tools and pick the Images → PDF tab. No sign-up, no install.
- Drop in your images. JPG, PNG or WebP, as many as you like. You can drop more later to add them.
- Put them in order. Drag the ⠿ handle or use the arrows, and remove any picture you do not want with ✕. Clear all starts over.
- Choose the page size. Fit page to each image (the default), A4 or US Letter.
- For A4 or US Letter, set orientation and margin. Orientation is Auto (per image), Portrait or Landscape. Margin is in points and starts at 24.
- Press Build PDF. It works through the pictures one by one and shows its progress.
- Collect your PDF. It downloads by itself as
getplugzz_images_to_pdf_followed by a time stamp, and tells you the number of pages and the size. Your original pictures are not touched.
Orientation and margin: what they do
- Auto (per image). A wide picture gets a landscape page and a tall one gets a portrait page, so nothing is squeezed.
- Portrait or Landscape. Forces every page the same way, which is handy when you want a tidy, uniform document.
- Margin (pt). The white space around each picture. 24 points is about 8 mm. Set it to 0 and the picture fills as much of the page as it can; the largest margin is 120.
Margins only apply with A4 or US Letter. With Fit page to each image there is nothing to set, because the page is the picture.
The one trade-off: the PDF has no selectable text
Pages made from pictures stay pictures. If a photo shows a printed page, you still cannot select, copy or search the words in the PDF. Every image is also stored as a JPEG at 92%, so a PNG with very sharp lines is compressed a little. Keep your originals if you need them untouched.
When it may not do what you expect
- An iPhone photo is not accepted. It is probably HEIC. Convert it to JPG first with the HEIC to JPG guide, then add it.
- The PDF turns out huge. Many full-size photos make a big file. Run the result through Compress to make it small enough to email.
- Pages come out in different sizes. That is Fit page to each image doing its job. Pick A4 or US Letter to make every page the same.
When you'd actually need this
- Sending phone scans of a contract, receipts or a form as one tidy file.
- Uploading to a portal that wants a single PDF for an application, a claim or a verification.
- Turning a signed page you photographed into a proper document.
- Making a small portfolio or lookbook out of a folder of pictures.
- Printing photos on A4 pages with a clean white border.

Good to know before you start
- The order of the list is the order of the pages. Drag the ⠿ handle or use the arrows to arrange them before you build.
- Pictures are never stretched or cropped. One with a different shape than the page leaves white bars around it.
- The PDF has no selectable text. A photo of a printed page stays a picture, so keep your originals.
- Each image is saved as a JPEG at 92%. Anything transparent turns white.
- iPhone photos in HEIC are not accepted yet; convert them to JPG first.
FAQ
No. Your browser reads the pictures and builds the PDF on your own computer. Your files never go to a server.
JPG, PNG and WebP. iPhone photos in HEIC need to be converted to JPG first.
Yes. Drag the ⠿ handle, or use the up and down arrows next to each image. The list is the page order, top to bottom.
Choose A4 under Page size. Every picture is then scaled to fit an A4 page, with your margin around it and the orientation you pick.
Each image is stored in full, so many large photos add up. Run the PDF through Compress, or use smaller pictures.
Yes. No account, no watermark on your PDF, and no limit on how many you make.
