Convert JPG to PDF
Put one or more JPG images into a PDF, in the order you choose. Handy for turning photographed receipts, scans or whiteboard shots into one document you can send.

Why put photos in a PDF at all
Because a PDF is one file that opens the same way everywhere, keeps its pages in order, and is what almost every form, portal and person actually asks for. Photographing six pages of a signed contract gives you six JPGs that arrive in whatever order the recipient's mail client feels like. The same six as a PDF is a document.
Page size and margins
A4 and Letter both work; pick whichever your recipient prints on. Each image is fitted inside the page without being stretched, so a photograph keeps its proportions and gets whatever whitespace is left over. Margins are worth adding if the result will be printed, since most printers cannot reach the edge of the sheet.
Quality is preserved exactly
A JPG is embedded into the PDF as it is, byte for byte, with no re-encoding. That means no second round of quality loss — and also that the PDF is roughly the size of the images that went into it. If it comes out too large to email, compress the images first with image compression and then build the PDF.
Where your photos go
The PDF is assembled by your own browser — that part genuinely happens on your device, and it is why the download appears instantly with no queue. Separately, a copy of each image you add is uploaded and stored, the same way any file sent to Scriptorium is, so it can be looked at if a problem or a report of misuse ever makes that necessary. If what you are photographing is an identity document, a payslip or a signed contract and that trade does not work for you, this is not the right tool — see our privacy page for the full policy.
Questions
Are my images uploaded?
The PDF itself is assembled by your browser and saved straight to your downloads — that part is genuinely local. A copy of each image you add is also uploaded and stored, the same as any file sent to Scriptorium, so it can be investigated if a problem or a report of misuse ever requires that. See our privacy page for how long it is kept.
Can I choose the page order?
Yes. Drag the thumbnails into the order you want, or remove any you added by mistake, before you build the PDF.
Does it re-compress my photos?
No. A JPG is embedded into the PDF exactly as it is, byte for byte, so there is no second round of quality loss. If the result is too large, compress the images first and then build the PDF.
Turn what is said into text
Scriptorium's main job is transcription: bring a video or an audio file and get back text you can read, correct, search and export.
