Merging PDFs

When an application, assignment, or office task asks for one document instead of many, merging saves the day. Instead of sending five separate PDFs, you combine them into a single file in the right order.

How to merge

• Open the PDF Merge tool and upload the PDFs you want to combine.
• Arrange them in the order they should appear, using the up and down controls.
• Click Merge and download the single combined PDF.

Turning PDF pages into images

Sometimes you need a single page as a picture — to share on WhatsApp, add to a presentation, or post online. The PDF to Image tool does exactly that.

• Upload your PDF and let it load its pages.
• Choose PNG for sharp quality or JPG for smaller files, and pick a resolution.
• Save the pages you need as images.

Tips

• Keep the page sizes of merged PDFs similar so the final document looks consistent.
• For printing, pick a higher resolution; for sharing online, a lower one keeps files light.
• Both tools run fully in your browser — your documents are never uploaded to a server.

All tools on this site are free and need no account.

The short answer

Use JPG for photos, PNG for images that need transparency or sharp text, and WebP when you want the smallest file and your platform supports it.

JPG

JPG is the best choice for photographs and realistic images. It compresses very well, so files stay small. Its weakness is that it does not support transparency, and repeated saving slowly reduces quality.

PNG

PNG keeps every detail exactly, supports transparent backgrounds, and is great for logos, screenshots, and images with text. The trade-off is larger file size compared to JPG.

WebP

WebP is a modern format that gives small files with good quality, and it supports transparency too. The only catch is that some older apps, forms, and portals still do not accept it.

Quick rule

• Photo for a website, form, or message → JPG
• Logo, icon, or screenshot with text → PNG
• Smallest file for a modern website → WebP
• A form rejects your file → convert it to the format the form asks for

You can switch between JPG, PNG, and WebP with the free converter on this site — upload, pick the format, and download. No sign-up needed.

Why compress an image?

Phone photos are often several megabytes each. That makes them slow to upload, hard to send on forms and job portals, and heavy for websites. Compression shrinks the file while keeping it looking the same to the eye.

Step-by-step

• Upload the image to the Image Compressor tool.
• Set the quality. Start around 75–80% for photos. The tool shows the original size and the new size side by side.
• Choose the format. JPEG is best for photos. PNG suits images with text, logos, or transparency, but produces larger files.
• Download the result and compare it with the original before you use it.

Tips

• For most photos, 75–80% quality looks identical to the original but cuts the size by half or more.
• If the image still looks soft, raise the quality a little instead of starting over.
• Avoid compressing the same JPEG again and again — each round loses a little detail. Always keep your original file safe.
• Large dimensions also make files big. If a photo is 4000 pixels wide but will only be shown small, resizing it first shrinks the file even more.

Compression happens entirely in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded anywhere.

Why turn screenshots into a PDF?

Screenshots pile up fast — payment receipts, chat proofs, error messages, class notes. A single A4 PDF is easier to print, share, and submit than a folder full of loose images. Each screenshot gets its own neat page, so nothing looks cramped or cut off.

Step-by-step

• Upload your screenshots. Open the Screenshot to A4 PDF tool and add your images. JPG, PNG, and WebP files all work, and you can add several at once.
• Arrange the order. Drag the images into the order you want them to appear, and remove any you do not need.
• Pick an orientation. Choose A4 Portrait for tall screenshots like chats and documents, or A4 Landscape for wide ones like dashboards and spreadsheets.
• Set margins and fitting. Adjust the page margin, then choose “Fit inside page” to keep the whole screenshot visible, or “Fill page” to cover the full page.
• Generate and download. Give the file a name, click Generate, and save your A4 PDF.

Tips for a clean result

• Use Portrait for phone screenshots and Landscape for computer screens.
• “Fit inside page” is the safest choice when the screenshot contains small text.
• One screenshot per page keeps text readable when printed.
• Your images are processed in your browser and never uploaded to a server, so private screenshots stay private.
