Whether you’re digitizing receipts, creating photo albums, or compiling scanned pages into a single file, this tool handles JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, and more. Scroll down for in-depth guidance on features, usage, advanced options, API integration, best practices, and troubleshooting tips.
PDF (Portable Document Format) is the universal standard for sharing documents with consistent formatting across devices and platforms. Converting images to PDF:
Our converter accepts:
Choose between:
Add PDF metadata—title, author, subject, keywords—for improved searchability and document management. Metadata is embedded in the PDF’s Info dictionary.
Follow these simple steps:
View a live preview of each page, zoom in to check image clarity, and verify layout before conversion.
Upload entire folders as ZIP archives for automated batch processing. Each folder becomes a separate PDF, or merge all into one document—ideal for large-scale digitization projects.
Choose:
Enable OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract embedded text from images and make your PDF searchable. Supported languages include English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, and more.
For power users and developers, our converter offers:

import { convertImagesToPdf } from 'img2pdf-sdk';
const result = await convertImagesToPdf({
images: [imgBuffer1, imgBuffer2],
options: { pageSize:'A4', quality:90, ocr:false }
});
console.log('PDF URL:', result.pdfUrl);Set up webhooks to receive notifications when conversion completes. Useful for processing pipelines in serverless or microservices architectures.
Embed image-to-PDF conversion in your spreadsheets using custom functions:
=IMG_TO_PDF(A2:A10, "output.pdf", "A4", "portrait", 80, TRUE)Where A2:A10 contain image URLs or base64 data.
Connect with no-code platforms to trigger conversions when a new file appears in OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox. Automate workflows like invoice archiving or photo uploads.
Receive JPEG or PNG invoices via email → Zapier saves attachments to Google Drive → our converter auto-generates a single PDF per vendor per month → archived in SharePoint.
Upload event photos to a folder → Power Automate triggers batch conversion → PDF gallery emailed to participants.
Scan experiment notes as images → convert to searchable PDF with OCR → import into document management systems for indexing and collaboration.
Our infrastructure supports:
Split very large PDFs into chunks or use streaming APIs to reduce memory footprint. Our SDK supports stream-based uploads and downloads for files exceeding hundreds of megabytes.
All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256). User files are deleted from servers within 24 hours by default, with longer retention options available for enterprise plans. Compliance certifications include GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2.
Restrict PDF downloads via expiring links, IP allowlists, or OAuth-protected endpoints. Embed authentication tokens in API calls for secure access.
Track user activity—uploads, conversions, downloads—in detailed logs for compliance and billing reconciliation.
On-premises or private cloud installations available for data-sensitive industries. Kubernetes-based containers for seamless integration into existing infrastructure.
Resize very high-resolution images to target DPI (150–300) before conversion to balance clarity and file size.
Only enable OCR on documents requiring text search; skip on pure photographic content to speed up conversion.
Standardize on A4 or Letter to simplify printing and binding. Use custom sizes only when necessary.
If adding text overlays or watermarks, choose standard fonts (Arial, Helvetica) or embed custom fonts for consistent rendering.
Enable PDF tagging (structure tree) and add alt-text to images for screen-reader compatibility. Use our accessibility checker to validate PDF/UA compliance.
A: Only the first frame of an animated GIF is converted; for full animation export as PDF with embedded video.
A: The web interface supports up to 100 MB per operation; API uploads can handle up to 500 MB with resumable transfer.
A: Default retention is 24 hours; enterprise plans offer customizable retention policies up to 90 days.
A: Yes—set user and owner passwords, choose encryption levels (128-bit or 256-bit AES), and control printing and editing permissions.
A: The img2pdf-cli tool runs on all major platforms; install via npm or pip as shown above.
Our Image to PDF Converter offers a comprehensive, scalable, and secure solution for all your image-to-document conversion needs. From one-off uploads in the browser to fully automated enterprise workflows, benefit from high-quality output, advanced customization, and robust integration options.

A: Use the rotate controls in the preview pane before conversion. You can rotate individual pages 90°, 180°, or 270° to correct orientation.
A: Yes—toggle “Trim Margins” in advanced settings. Our tool will auto-detect blank edges and crop to the image bounding box.
A: Ensure image resolution is at least 300 DPI and contrast is high. You can upload preprocessed, cleaned images or adjust brightness/contrast via the built-in image editor before conversion.
A: For very large jobs, use our CLI or API in “streaming mode” to upload one image at a time and write pages incrementally. This reduces memory usage and speeds up throughput.
A: In settings, enable “Honor EXIF rotation.” This will read orientation tags and automatically rotate images before embedding.
A: Yes—specify page ranges in the “Security” panel. You can apply different owner/user passwords or permissions to subsets of pages.
Our converter includes robust accessibility support:
Generate PDFs that comply with Section 508 (U.S.) and PDF/UA standards. Run the built-in accessibility checker post-conversion to highlight and fix issues.
Use the “Reading Order” tool to manually adjust the tag tree for complex layouts—ensuring logical flow for assistive technologies.
Add accessible form fields (text inputs, checkboxes) or annotations (comments, highlights) that are properly tagged and labeled.
Ensure your PDFs reflect your brand identity:
Choose from pre-built templates (report, portfolio, invoice) or upload your own InDesign/Word background files for consistent styling.
Use variables like {{Title}}, {{Date}}, {{Username}} in headers/footers—automatically replaced at conversion time via API parameters or CLI flags.
Ensure custom fonts used in annotations or watermarks are embedded to avoid substitution on different devices.
Save as PDF/A-1b or PDF/A-2b for long-term archiving compliance. Our converter validates against ISO 19005 standards post-conversion.
For enterprise deployments processing millions of images daily, consider these optimizations:
Include conversion in your build pipelines via the CLI:
img2pdf --input assets/images/*.png --output docs/manual.pdf
Define memory and CPU quotas per container to prevent noisy neighbors. Use cgroups or Docker resource flags to enforce limits.
Stream logs to ELK or CloudWatch—include metrics on images per second, average latency, error rates, and queue depths.
Design conversion jobs as idempotent tasks—retry safely on failure without creating duplicate PDFs.
XYZ Legal used our API to batch-convert thousands of scanned case documents into searchable PDF portfolios. OCR accuracy reached 98%, reducing manual review time by 70%.
