This is the broadest format support of any BentoPDF image converter. If you only need a specific format, use one of the dedicated tools instead.

How It Works

  1. Click the upload area or drag and drop your image files. You can select multiple files at once.
  2. Review the file list. Remove any unwanted files with the trash icon, or click Add More Files to include additional images.
  3. Choose a PDF Quality level from the dropdown.
  4. Click Convert to PDF. The tool processes images through the PyMuPDF engine and downloads the result as images_to_pdf.pdf.

Options

PDF Quality controls the image compression applied when embedding images into the PDF:

  • High Quality -- minimal compression, larger file size. Best for print or archival use.
  • Medium Quality (default) -- balanced compression. Good for most purposes.
  • Low Quality -- aggressive compression, smallest file size. Suitable for email or quick sharing.

HEIC and WebP files are automatically converted to PNG before embedding. This happens transparently and does not require any extra steps.

Use Cases

  • Combining scanned receipts or documents from a phone camera into one PDF
  • Creating a photo portfolio or lookbook from mixed-format images
  • Converting iPhone photos (HEIC) to a shareable PDF without installing desktop software
  • Assembling design mockups from PSD exports and screenshots into a client deliverable
  • Archiving a folder of legacy image formats (PNM, JXR, JP2) as a single PDF

Tips

  • The order of images in the PDF matches the order they appear in the file list. Upload them in the sequence you want.
  • For the smallest possible file size, choose Low Quality. The visual difference is often negligible for text-heavy scans.
  • If you only have one image format, the dedicated converters (JPG to PDF, PNG to PDF, etc.) offer the same result with a simpler interface.
