By converting JPG files to PDF, you can compress size, as PDF is a much more efficient file format than JPG. By doing so, the quality of the original photo will not be altered and will remain the same, just switch to a different format. Another scenario is during the document scanning. Many pages are often saved in JPG format. However, it is not a very suitable format for reading. Hence, converting to PDF file is definitely a better choice.

By contacting an online service, there is no guarantee of results and there is a security issue. Once you upload your photos to the internet, how can you be sure if they will be deleted or stored on servers?

To meet these needs, we have compiled a list of three of the most practical solutions on how to convert JPG files to PDF on Windows.

Come convertire JPG in PDF su Windows: WorkinTool Image Converter
The reason we put third-party WorkinTool software at the top of the list is that we believe it is most complete tool to process images. Excluding the conversion function, we will be able to use this tool to perform various processing on the images. From basic image compression and editing to more creative features such as recoloring of old photos and “cartoonizing”.
Interface
After starting WorkinTool Image Converter, a graphical interface like this one in the image will appear. The main software window is divided into two sides, the left side contains user selectable features, we will also find JPG to PDF conversion here. On the right there are the operational section and procedures. The whole interface is clean and simple, with no frills. Since we are focusing on Windows system, we can only say that it works perfectly here. Unfortunately, the software doesn’t support Mac yet. But don’t worry! When the Mac version is available, we will do a full test.
Functionality
In the operational section, you can see a preview directly of the images. Including the original format, the output format, the type of conversion and the status of the operation. Personally, I like the fact that WorkinTool Image Converter allows users to customize the output format of each image. This means that the user can convert multiple images to different formats at the same time. However, to convert to PDF smoothly, just select the PDF format in the drop-down menu next to the Output Format. Nothing more.
WorkinTool Image Converter also supports the converting images to PDF in bulk, but it cannot merge them into a PDF file at the same time. If you want to merge, you need to use the built-in image merge function before converting.

But unlike the printer we have on our desks, it will only save the selected image as a PDF file on our PC. And it supports batch “printing”, that is, it allows you to convert multiple files together and then is better than the Photos app. After all, the Photos app is simply an image viewer. Here’s how to use PDF Print:
Therefore, if multiple images are selected, they will all be added to the same PDF file. If you want to convert each image into a separate PDF file instead, you may need to repeat the process. It could take a while.
