Combining images into a single category or sending them becomes easier, and text within image files becomes more readable when converted to PDF. Below, Mytour will guide you through converting JPG files to PDF format, a process that takes only seconds and offers various options depending on your operating system.
Steps
Windows 10
Open the JPG image in the Photos app. This is the default image viewer in Windows 10.
- Note: This method can be applied in any program capable of opening image files in Windows 10.
Click the "..." button and select "Print". The "..." button is located in the top-right corner of the Photos window.
- Alternatively, you can press Ctrl+P.
Select "Microsoft Print to PDF" from the printer options. This will generate a PDF file instead of physically printing the image.
Choose the page orientation. Since PDF files follow standard page sizes, you need to select either Landscape or Portrait to match your image's layout.
Click the "Print" button. This will open the Save Print Output As window.
Name the file and choose the save location. Once you click Save, the new PDF file will be created in the specified location.
Windows 8 and earlier versions
Visit the CutePDF Writer website. Install the CutePDF Writer plugin to create PDF files from any program that supports printing. This is the best free option for generating PDFs on Windows 8 and older versions.
- Go to cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp using your browser.
Click on the "Free Downloader" and "Free Converter" links. These links are located on the right side of the page. Clicking them will download the two necessary files.
Run CuteWriter.exe. This will start the installation process.
Decline the two additional offers during installation. Carefully read the prompts and opt out of installing any extra software.
Run converter.exe. This installs the necessary software to create PDF files in the background.
Open the JPG file using any program. You can open the JPG file in any application you typically use for viewing images.
Access the Print menu. The location of the Print menu depends on the program you're using, but it is usually found under the "File" menu. Alternatively, you can press Ctrl+P in most programs.
Select "CutePDF Writer" from the Printer menu. CutePDF functions as a virtual printer, creating a PDF file instead of physically printing the image.
Click the Print button and then save the new file. After clicking Print, the Save As window will appear within a few moments. You can name the new PDF file and choose the location on your computer where you want to save it.
Mac OS X
Open JPG files with any program. Mac OS X allows you to create PDF files without needing additional software or special programs. Simply open the PDF file in any application you typically use.
Access the Print menu. This menu is located under the "File" menu or by pressing the key combination ⌘ Command+P.
Click on the "PDF" menu at the bottom left corner and select "Save as PDF". This action will open a new window.
Name the PDF file and choose a save location. You can assign any name to the new PDF file and select any desired location to save it.
Online Services
Search for an online conversion service. Several companies offer free conversion services to quickly transform JPG files into PDFs. These types of websites are typically free to use and generate revenue through advertisements. They are compatible with any operating system. Some of the most popular sites include:
- Convert-JPG-To-PDF.net
- Convert My Image
- smallpdf
Upload your image. Click on the "Choose File," "Upload," or "Select JPG File" button to upload your image file to the browser. On smallpdf, you can also drag and drop your file directly into the browser window.
- Note that some services have file size limits. If your file is within the allowed size, proceed to the next step.
- Otherwise, you may need to click a separate upload button after selecting your file.
Convert the file. Click the "Convert" button to initiate the conversion process. Some services may offer additional options, such as adjusting margins or page layout. The conversion typically takes just a few minutes.
Download the file. Once the conversion is complete, you will be provided with a link to the converted file. You can download it as usual. The converted file usually retains the original image's name, sometimes with the conversion company's name appended.
