When you save a photo to your phone or computer, it’s usually saved as a JPEG file. If you need a PDF version of your photo, you can easily convert it with software that's already on your computer, phone, or tablet. Another super-fast option is to use Adobe's free online JPG-to-PDF file converter. We'll walk you through converting a JPG image to a PDF on a PC, Mac, Android, iPhone, or iPad.
Quickly Convert JPG Images to PDFOn Windows, open the JPG in the Photos app, click the printer icon, and select "Microsoft Print to PDF" as the printer. Click "Print" to save the file as a PDF. On a Mac, open the JPG in Preview, go to "File" > "Export as PDF," and save the file.
Method 1 of 5:
Enter a name for your PDF file. Type whatever you want to name your PDF document into the "File name" text box near the bottom of the window. Try naming it something relevant so you can find it later.
Select a save location. Click the folder where you want to save your PDF on the left side of the window. Make sure it’s somewhere you can find it easily again when you need it.
Open Preview on your Mac. You will find this app on your Mac's Dock, in the Applications folder, and/or by searching for "Preview" in Spotlight.
Click the File menu and select Open . It's in the menu bar at the top-left corner of the screen. [1] X Research source
Select the image(s) you want to convert. If you just want to convert one image, click it once to select it. To select more than one image at once, hold down the Command key as you click each image name.
Enter a name for your PDF file. Type whatever you want to name your PDF document into the "Save As" text box at the top of the window. Try naming it something relevant so you can find it later.
Select a save location from the "Where" drop-down menu. Choose a folder (e.g., Desktop) in which to save your PDF document.
Open the Photos app on your iPhone. It's the multicolored flower labeled "Photos" on your home screen or app library.
. It's the box with an upward-pointing arrow at the top-right corner. This expands a menu containing your sharing options. At the top of this menu, you'll see "PDF Document" right below "Photo."
Tap Save to Files . You may have to drag the menu upward to see this option. Now, you'll be prompted to choose a location to save the PDF.
Select a saving location and tap Save . For example, if you want to save the PDF to your iCloud Drive, select that option, and then select a sub-folder if desired. Once you choose a saving location, tap Save at the top-right corner to save your PDF.

Select Save as PDF from the "Select a Printer" menu. This menu is at the top-left corner. [3] X Research source
Tap the PDF icon. It's the green icon that says "PDF" in the upper-right corner. You'll be prompted to enter a file name.
Go to https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/online/jpg-to-pdf.html in a web browser. You can use Adobe's web-based JPG-to-PDF converter to convert an image on any computer, phone, or tablet.
The quickest way to do this would be to paste the JPG images into a word processor document and send the document to a PDF format under the print menu.

If you follow method three and upload your images that way, you will be able to rearrange them before converting them to a PDF. (Incidentally, you can also convert multiple JPGs to one PDF file using this method without pasting them into a MS Word document first.)
