JPG → PDF is one of those workflows that sounds trivial until you need it: a delivery photo for an insurance claim, a stack of receipts to expense, ID photos for an application, or a portfolio of product shots. PDF wraps them into a single file that's easier to attach, archive, and print than a folder of loose images.

PDFly's Convert tool auto-detects when you upload images and pre-selects PDF as the output format. Drag in any number of JPGs, click Convert, and you get back one PDF with each photo on its own page — fitted to the page automatically, EXIF rotation honored, no quality loss.
