How to convert JPG to PDF

Choose one or more JPG files, or drag them onto the drop area. Only .jpg and .jpeg files are accepted.
Check the order of the list. Use the arrows to reorder pages and Remove to take out any image you do not want.
Confirm the target size (currently 2 MB). It is editable, so change the number or the KB/MB unit if your limit differs, and pick a page size.
Press Create PDF. Your images are embedded as they are when that already fits; otherwise they are recompressed gradually and the PDF is measured after each attempt.
Read the result: the actual PDF size is shown with a clear Target met or Target not met message. Then download the PDF.

What a 2 MB PDF limit means

Two megabytes allows a sizeable document: many scanned pages, or several high-quality photographs. Typical phone photos are 2–6 MB each, so a multi-image set may still need recompression, which the tool applies gradually and only when required. Every image is kept, the order is preserved, and the measured byte size of the finished PDF decides whether the target is reported as met.

The size you enter is a goal, not a promise. A PDF made from JPEG images is almost entirely the size of those images, so the result depends on how many images you add, their resolution and how detailed they are. This tool measures the finished file and reports the true byte count instead of assuming success.

Format and page settings

Accepted input: JPG images (.jpg and .jpeg are the same format). Each image becomes one page, in the order shown in the list. Choose A4 or US Letter to fit each image on a page with a small margin, with portrait or landscape chosen automatically, or choose “Match image shape” for pages that follow each image's proportions. Images are never stretched or cropped. PNG, WebP, HEIC and other formats are not accepted here.

When the untouched JPEGs already fit the target, they are embedded without recompression. Otherwise quality is lowered in steps (not below about 50 percent) and dimensions are reduced only as far as roughly 800 px on the long side. Photos stored with an EXIF rotation flag are re-encoded upright, since PDF viewers ignore that flag.

Practical uses

Support-ticket and form uploads with a 2 MB cap
Longer documents such as contracts or multi-page reports
Photo evidence for insurance, repairs or returns

Tips for a smaller PDF

Pick the sharpest shots and delete duplicates before converting.
Combine fewer pages per PDF if you want to preserve more detail.
Open the downloaded PDF once to confirm orientation and order.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a JPG to a PDF under 2 MB?

Add your JPG files, keep or edit the 2 MB target, and press Create PDF. The tool builds the PDF in your browser and tells you the real size so you can see whether it is under 2 MB.

Why is my PDF smaller than the sum of my JPG files?

When the images alone exceed the target, the tool recompresses them. The notes under the result explain exactly what was done.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Files are read and the PDF is generated entirely on your device. Nothing is sent to Paul Digital or any other server.

Can it guarantee the PDF will be under the limit?

No. The size depends on your images. The tool embeds JPEGs unchanged when possible, then lowers quality and dimensions only down to a readable floor. If that is not enough it reports the actual size and says the target was not met.

Can I combine several images into one PDF?

Yes. Select multiple files, reorder them with the arrows, remove any you do not need, and each image becomes one page in that order.

Is the PDF a normal, standards-compliant file?

Yes. It is a standard PDF 1.4 file with each JPEG embedded as an image on its own page. Nothing is truncated or padded to hit a number.
