Drop photos, scans or screenshots and arrange them on a visual board. Choose “Fit image” to size each page exactly to its picture, or “A4 pages” to center every image on a standard page — right for printing or sharing as a document.
Images are embedded as-is with no recompression, so your photos keep every pixel. Bindery runs entirely in your browser — your file is never uploaded, so there is nothing to delete from a server afterwards.
How it works
- Open the tool and add JPG or PNG files
- Reorder them on the board; pick Fit or A4 layout
- Download one combined PDF
Photos, scans and screenshots into one document
A folder of phone photos of a receipt, a set of screenshots for a bug report, a scanned passport page and a proof of address — recipients want one PDF, in order. Drop the images, arrange them on the board, and choose how each page should be sized. Fit image makes each page exactly the image’s dimensions, ideal for screenshots and drawings. A4 pages centres every image on a standard sheet with margins, ideal for printing and for portals that expect document-shaped pages.
Images are embedded byte-for-byte: a JPG stays the same JPG inside the PDF, a PNG stays lossless. Nothing is recompressed, so a 12-megapixel photo keeps every pixel — and the PDF is about as large as the images were. Run Compress afterwards if the result must be small; it resamples the images to a target resolution with real size estimates.
Making the result useful
- Photographed documents: the words are pixels. Run OCR on the PDF to make it searchable, or use Scan from phone, which straightens each page as you capture it.
- Order matters: the board shows a thumbnail of every image; drag to reorder before creating the PDF.
- Mixing with existing PDFs: create the PDF from the images, then merge — or follow the merge PDFs and images page.
- HEIC and other formats: JPG and PNG are supported. Export HEIC photos as JPG from your phone or photo app first.
Converting in the browser versus uploading
| JPG to PDF | Bindery | Upload-based tools |
|---|---|---|
| Where the file is processed | In your browser tab, on your device | Uploaded to the service’s servers |
| Image quality | Embedded as-is, no recompression | Often recompressed on upload |
| Photos of ID and receipts | Never leave the device | Uploaded, retained for a period |
| Layout | Fit each image, or centre on A4 | Varies |
| What exists afterwards | The original and the new file, both on your device | A server copy until the retention window ends |
| Works offline | Yes, once the app has loaded | No |
Questions people ask
Which image formats work?
JPG and PNG. Each image becomes one page, in exactly the order you arrange.
Do my photos lose quality?
No — images are embedded into the PDF byte-for-byte, without re-encoding.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The PDF is assembled in your browser; your images never leave your device.
Can I combine JPG and PNG in one PDF?
Yes. Each image becomes one page in the order you arrange, regardless of format.
How do I make the PDF smaller?
Create it, then open Compress. It shows the real output size of three targets computed from your file; Email & web resamples photos to screen resolution, which is where most of the saving is.
Will the PDF be searchable?
Not by itself — images contain no text. Run the OCR tool on the finished PDF; recognition happens on your device and adds an invisible text layer.
