JPG to PDF without uploading
Turn photos of IDs, receipts and documents into a PDF without handing them to a website. The PDF is built in this tab.
Drop JPG or PNG files
Reorder with the arrows. WebP and HEIC work if your browser can open them.
BrowseHow to convert JPG to PDF privately
- Drop your JPG files on the box above, or click it to choose them. PNGs can go in too.
- Put them in order with the ↑ and ↓ arrows. Each image becomes one page.
- Pick a page size and click Create PDF, then download it.
Why “no upload” matters for photos
The pictures people turn into PDFs are often the private ones: a driver’s licence or passport, a signed form, a bank letter, a medical bill, a child’s school record. Most online converters work by uploading your images to their server and sending a PDF back. They usually delete the files later, but the photos have still left your device.
FilesStay is a static web page. The converter is downloaded with the page and runs in your browser, so your images are read from your device and the PDF is saved straight back to it. There is no FilesStay server that receives files.
How you can check
- Go offline. Load this page, turn off Wi‑Fi or mobile data, then create the PDF. It still works.
- Watch the network. In your browser’s developer tools, open the Network tab and convert an image. Your photos are not sent anywhere.
Quality and size
Most JPGs are placed into the PDF as they are, so they look the same as the originals. Photos that a phone saved “sideways” are turned upright first. The PDF ends up about as big as your images added together; to shrink it, use Compress PDF, which also runs in your browser.
Limits
- This is not a scanner app: it does not crop, straighten or OCR, so text in the photos will not be searchable.
- WebP and HEIC only work if your browser can open them. Otherwise, save them as JPG first.
Questions
Does FilesStay keep a copy of my photos?
No. We never receive them, so there is nothing to keep or delete.
Is there a watermark?
No. The PDF only contains your images.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in a current mobile browser. On iPhone, see the iPhone photos to PDF guide for tips on picking photos.
