Turning a pile of photographed documents into one properly ordered, correctly sized PDF should take seconds rather than an afternoon. JPEG2PDF handles the ordering, margins, page sizes and numbering in a single pass, for as many images as you care to select.

The details are where this kind of job usually goes wrong, so they are all adjustable: auto-orientation, standard page sizes from A5 to A3, image position on the page, rotation, DPI, and greyscale or black and white output when colour is only adding weight.

AES-256 encryption is there because some of these documents should not travel unlocked. It is free, with nothing held back and nothing stamped on the output.

JPEG2PDF is a free image-to-PDF converter for Linux. It turns JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, SVG, WebP and other image formats into proper PDF documents in a few clicks — with page sizes, margins, rotation, page numbers and AES-256 encryption, and with every file processed locally so nothing leaves your computer.

What JPEG2PDF does

  • Batch convert many images into a PDF in one click.
  • One PDF or many — merge a folder of images into a single document, or produce a separate PDF per image.
  • Automatic orientation and intelligent page formatting.
  • Page setup — A4, A3, A5, Letter, Legal and other standard sizes, with custom margins and image alignment.
  • Rotate selected images and PDF pages before exporting.
  • Greyscale and black-and-white output for documents that do not need colour.
  • Automatic page numbers with configurable fonts and styles.
  • Custom DPI for print-quality output.
  • AES-256 encryption with password protection.
  • Drag and drop images straight into the window.

Supported image formats

JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, SVG, WebP and many others.

Installing JPEG2PDF on Linux

From the Snap Store:

sudo snap install jpg2pdf

From Flathub:

flatpak install flathub com.warlordsoftwares.jpeg2pdf

And to run the Flatpak build:

flatpak run com.warlordsoftwares.jpeg2pdf

What it is good for

Scanned documents, photo albums, receipts and invoices, school and college assignments, business documents, reports and digital archiving — anywhere you have a pile of images and need one document you can send.

Why convert locally rather than online

The obvious alternative is an online converter. The trade is that your images go to somebody else's server, there is a file-size limit, and free tiers add watermarks. JPEG2PDF needs no internet connection, imposes no size limit, adds no watermark and shows no advertising. For anything with personal or financial information on it — receipts, invoices, scanned ID — that difference is the whole point.

Frequently asked questions

Can I protect the PDF with a password?

Yes. JPEG2PDF encrypts output with AES-256 and a password of your choosing.

Can I merge several images into one PDF?

Yes — either one PDF containing every image, or a separate PDF per image, whichever you pick before exporting.

Do my images get uploaded?

No. All processing happens on your computer, offline.

Which paper sizes are supported?

A4, A3, A5, Letter, Legal and other standard sizes, with custom margins.

Is JPEG2PDF free?

Yes — completely free, despite the "Pro" in the name. Every feature on this page, including AES-256 encryption and batch conversion, is available without paying anything. There is no upgrade to buy.
