Convert JPEG to PDF
What is JPEG?
JPEG
JPEG stores visual pixel data using DCT-based lossy compression. Documents store text with formatting. While you can embed JPEG images in documents, converting an image itself to a document format means wrapping the image—not converting pixels to text. Any text in the image requires OCR extraction.
- JPEG stores pixel-based images, ideal for photographs and graphics requiring document embedding
- Embeds easily in document formats without quality loss
- Rectangular image bounds integrate cleanly into document layouts
- Fixed resolution determines final document print quality
- DCT-based compression removes high-frequency visual data
What is PDF?
PDF stores pages containing text, vector graphics, and embedded images. While PDFs can include images, they're not pure image files—they contain selectable text, fonts, and scalable vector elements. Converting to image formats means rasterizing each page into pixels, losing text selectability, vector scalability, and interactive features like hyperlinks or form fields.
- PDF contains structured text and layout data that renders to fixed visual output
- Page layout determines final image dimensions and aspect ratio
- Multi-page structure allows conversion of each page to separate images
Why Convert JPEG to PDF?
✓ Software Independence
PDF ensures document accessibility across all platforms and software versions, eliminating dependency on proprietary applications and maintaining consistent formatting regardless of viewing environment.
✓ Scalable Vector Graphics
PDF uses vector graphics that scale infinitely without quality loss, perfect for logos, icons, and designs requiring multiple sizes from business cards to billboards.
✓ Professional Documentation
Document formats provide better organization, multi-page support, and professional presentation for scanned receipts, forms, or photo collections requiring structured archival.
✓ Simplified Sharing
PDF format simplifies file sharing via email, cloud storage, and collaboration platforms with guaranteed recipient access and consistent display across systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert several JPEG files to PDF in one go?
Definitely. Free users can convert 3 .jpeg files simultaneously. Premium users get 20-file batches with ZIP packaging. All .pdf outputs preserve source quality and metadata.
How do you ensure JPEG file privacy during conversion?
GDPR compliance, Austrian EU hosting, automatic 5-minute deletion, HTTPS encryption, isolated processing. JPEG files never stored, logged, or retained post-PDF conversion.
What are the size limits for JPEG conversion?
100MB limit for free accounts, 500MB for Premium. Most JPEG files convert without issues. If JPEG file exceeds limits, compress source file or upgrade for expanded PDF conversion capabilities.
How fast is JPEG to PDF conversion?
Expect 5-20 seconds for typical JPEG to PDF conversion. Processing time increases with JPEG file complexity—plain text converts quickly, while documents with tables, images, and formatting take longer for accurate PDF output.
Do I need to install any software?
No! Everything works directly in your web browser. No downloads, no installations, no plugins required. Just upload your file and convert. Works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices.
