JPG to PDF vs PNG to PDF: which should you use?

Both tools produce the same kind of PDF; the difference is the source image format and what that means for quality and file size.

When to use JPG to PDF

Choose JPG to PDF for photos and phone-camera captures — receipts, site photos and scanned pages where lossy compression keeps files small.

Convert JPG, PNG, and other images to professional PDF documents.

When to use PNG to PDF

Choose PNG to PDF for screenshots, diagrams and anything with sharp text or transparency, where lossless quality matters more than size.

Combine one or more PNG images into a single high-quality PDF document.

The verdict

Photographs: JPG. Screenshots, logos and line art: PNG.

Both tools run inside your session, are UK GDPR-aligned, and every uploaded file is purged within 1 hour under our non-persistence guarantee.

Frequently asked questions

Can I combine several images into one PDF?
Yes — upload multiple images and they are placed in order, one per page.
Will page size match my images?
Images are fitted to A4 by default with margins preserved, so the output prints predictably in the UK.
Is the text in my image searchable?
Not by default. Use Scan to Searchable PDF if you need OCR text under the image.
