5 Free JPG to PDF Converters: Combine Images Easily Into PDFs
Do you have an image file must be converted into a PDF file for, let’s say, a report due soon, or an important email that a vendor, customer, or employer wants? Not sure where to go for help?
We’ve got you covered!
After a little digging, we found some of the best and, more importantly, free websites out there that can turn images into PDF files seamlessly, regardless of whether you’re using a macOS or Windows operating system. The websites that we’ve found can create PDF files without compromising the quality of the original images.
Before we begin, we should mention that it’s possible to convert images into PDF files without the use of the third-party software programs that we’ll outline below. To do this, scroll down on this page to a section titled, “Convert an Image to a PDF Without Any Software in Two Steps.”
We do, however, suggest that you use one of the three programs that we’ve found. Thanks to additional features offered by the third-party software programs, you can merge, combine, split, and extract your PDF or images. These handy tools also have a drag-and-drop feature and support almost all formats, including JPG (JPEG), TIFF (TIF), BMP, PNG, and GIF files.
