What goes into the PDF, byte for byte
A JPEG is a format a PDF can hold directly, so each photo goes in whole — the same compressed bytes, wrapped in an image object. That includes the parts of the file that are not picture. A JPEG's EXIF block travels into the PDF with it: camera model, the moment the shutter fired, and on a phone photo very often the coordinates where it was taken. Nothing displays them, and they are still in the document you send.
Embedding the bytes untouched raises a second question: which way up. A phone held upright usually still stores the picture sideways, and adds a tag saying how to turn it. That tag is read, and the page turns the picture without re-encoding it, so an upright photo makes an upright page, just as it looks in the grid.
Page geometry comes from pixels, not from resolution. With Match each image, one pixel becomes one PDF point and a point is a 72nd of an inch, so a 4,000-pixel phone photo becomes a page about 55 inches wide. On screen that means nothing, since a page is whatever size you zoom it to. It means a great deal to a print shop, to an upload form with a page-size rule, and to anyone who opens it expecting A4.
When you want something else
img2pdf embeds JPEGs losslessly in the same way and does the page geometry properly: it reads the resolution recorded in the image and sizes the page from that, so a 300 DPI A4 scan becomes an A4 page instead of a page measured out of its pixel count. For turning scans into PDFs in bulk, that is the tool.
And when a photo should be fixed for good, not only in this PDF, exiftran -ai photo.jpg turns the pixels themselves to match the orientation tag and does it without re-encoding the JPEG, so nothing is lost on the way.
Frequently asked questions
Are my photos stored anywhere?
No. The PDF is assembled without anything being stored, which matters more here than almost anywhere else — photos of documents, ID cards and receipts are exactly the files you should not be handing to a website.
Can I change the order of the images?
Yes. Drag any image to a new place in the grid; on a phone use the grip handle in its corner. The number under each image is its page number.
Does it reduce my photo quality?
No. JPG and PNG files are embedded exactly as they are, with no recompression. Other formats such as WebP or HEIC are converted once to PNG, which is lossless.
What page size should I choose?
A4 or Letter for anything you will print. Choose "Match each image" when you want no borders at all — each page comes out exactly the shape of its photo.
Can I mix JPG and PNG files?
Yes, and WebP, GIF, BMP and AVIF too. Refusing a PNG on the JPG page would be pedantry, not a feature.
Good to know: HEIC photos straight from an iPhone only work in browsers that can decode HEIC (Safari can; most others cannot yet) — if one is rejected, save it as JPG first. Very large photo sets are built in memory, so a hundred 12-megapixel images may be too much for an older phone.
