how to convert jpg to a small pdf
- drop your jpg files on the box above, or click it to choose them. you can add more later.
- drag the thumbnails into the order you want, rotate any sideways image and remove ones you do not need.
- choose page size, orientation, margin and image quality.
- press create pdf and download images.pdf.
the small setting limits every image to 1400 pixels on its long side and saves it at 60 percent jpeg quality. for photographed pages, that is readable on screen and printable at a normal reading size, and it often turns a 30 mb pile of photos into a pdf of 1 to 3 mb.
if text looks too soft in the result, change image quality to balanced and create the pdf again. if the file is still too large for a form, remove photos you do not need, or run the finished pdf through compress pdf with a target size.

frequently asked questions
how small will the pdf be?
it depends on the photos. ten phone photos typically give 1 to 3 mb at small quality, compared with 30 mb or more at original quality.
will text in photos stay readable?
normally yes at a4 reading size. fine print on a full page photographed from far away may lose detail, so use balanced for those.
can i set an exact size like 500 kb?
not here. create the pdf, then use compress pdf and enter the target size, which tests several settings to fit.
