1. Why Convert JPG to PDF?
JPG files are everywhere — mobile photos, scanned forms, certificates, receipts, assignments, ID pages, screenshots, whiteboard captures, and camera images. But most professional platforms expect PDFs. University portals (like Esse3), scholarship systems, job application platforms, government websites, and HR systems often restrict uploads to PDF only.
Submitting JPGs can lead to rejections, misalignment, missing pages, or orientation issues. A PDF ensures:
- consistent viewing across devices,
- a single combined file (not 6 random JPGs),
- professional presentation,
- easy printing and archiving,
- smaller file size with correct compression.
2. When Should You Use JPG-to-PDF?
Practical cases include:
- submitting residence permit scans,
- sending bank statements (screenshots → PDF),
- scholarship application requirements,
- grouping receipts for reimbursement,
- preparing assignment submissions
Converting to PDF prevents reviewers from opening multiple image attachments and ensures you look organized and professional.
3. Fit-to-Image vs A4 vs Letter
Fit-to-Image uses the exact appearance of your image. A4 is ideal for official documents (certificates, ID scans, letters). Letter is the standard size in North America.
4. Orientation: Portrait or Landscape?
Choose “portrait” for academic or administrative uploads. Choose “landscape” if your image is wider than tall.
5. Margins and Why They Matter
Without margins, your image may touch the edges of the page, causing cropping issues during printing or on certain viewers. A margin of 15–25 px ensures a professional look.
6. Multi-Image PDF Workflow
Uploading multiple images and reordering them ensures a unified submission. This is commonly used for assignments, multi-page forms, and document sets.
7. DPI, Resolution & File Size
Higher DPI means clearer text. Lower DPI makes the file lighter. JPG-to-PDF conversion preserves your original resolution, unless the image is excessively large.
8. Why Your Image Might Look Blurry
If your original JPG is low-resolution (like a zoomed screenshot), the PDF cannot improve its clarity.
9. Common Issues & Fixes
PDF too large
After conversion, use Compress PDF.
Wrong order
Drag the thumbnails to reorder.
Image rotated
Choose the correct orientation.
10. Privacy First
This entire tool runs locally. Nothing is uploaded or stored on any server. Ideal for documents like passports, tax papers, certificates, or sensitive university files.
11. Final Recommendations
Use JPG-to-PDF when preparing official submissions. Always reorder pages logically. Always check margins. Compress after exporting if required.
