Image to PDF — Convert Photos to a PDF
Turn a photo, scan, or screenshot into a tidy PDF — perfect for uploading an ID, receipt, or homework where only PDFs are accepted. Choose the page size and how the image fits.
How to convert an image to PDF
- Upload your image (JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC).
- Choose Image → PDF, then pick the page size (A4, Letter, or auto) and fit mode.
- Download the PDF. Your uploaded image is deleted from our server automatically.
Why use File Forge?
- Made for uploads: many portals only accept PDFs — convert your photo in one step.
- Fit your way: fit the image neatly to a page, or keep its original size.
- Free & verifiably private: deleted after download, open source, no signup.
How File Forge keeps your Image to PDF files private
When you use the Image to PDF tool, your file is uploaded over an encrypted HTTPS connection and processed on the server, then handed straight back to you. File Forge is built privacy-first, and — because the entire codebase is open source — every claim on this page is something you can verify line by line or run yourself, rather than a marketing promise you have to take on trust.
Your file is deleted the moment you are done
The file you upload is removed from our server as soon as the Image to PDF operation finishes, and the processed result is deleted the instant you download it. As a safety net, a background sweeper runs continuously and purges anything older than one hour, so nothing of yours lingers on disk. We never build a library of your documents, never resell them, and never train anything on them. There is no hidden retention and no analytics tied to your file contents.
Open source you can audit — or self-host
Most “free” online file tools ask you to trust a closed black box. File Forge is different: the complete source code is public on GitHub, so a developer can read exactly how the Image to PDF tool handles uploads, confirm the deletion logic, and even run a private copy on their own machine or server. Verifiable privacy beats a privacy policy you simply have to believe.
No account, no watermark, no upsell
There is no signup, no email wall, and no credit card. File Forge never stamps a watermark on your output and never caps you at “one free file” before demanding payment. The Image to PDF tool is genuinely free to use as often as you need, on any device with a web browser — no software to install and no extensions to add.
