Convert JPG or PNG images to PDF
Your photos become a document: one image per page — the page takes the image’s size, without going past A4. The photos go nowhere — which matters more here than elsewhere, since they often carry their place and their date.

How to convert JPG or PNG images to PDF
Choose your photographs or screenshots, put them in the order you want, and download the document: one image per page, the page taking the size of the image without going past A4, so that a paper print stays possible. This is the action that turns three photographs of a supporting document into one piece to attach to an application, or a series of screenshots into a manual. The images are not recompressed behind your back, and they go nowhere — which matters more here than elsewhere, since a photograph taken on a phone often carries the date, the camera model and the coordinates of the spot where it was taken. Vélin lets you strip those traces before sending. The order is set before the conversion: the alphabetical order of a phone’s file names is almost never the one you want.
Photographing a document rather than scanning it
Frame the whole page, flat, under even light and with no cast shadow; hold the camera parallel to the sheet rather than at an angle. A sharp, straight photograph gives a readable PDF, and above all a document on which character recognition will work — which will make the piece searchable and copyable. To add images to an existing document rather than make a new one, image insertion is what you need.
Frequently asked questions
Which image formats are accepted?
JPEG and PNG. Not the iPhone’s HEIC nor some scanners' TIFF: convert those first, or set the device to produce JPEG.
Does my photos' GPS data end up in the PDF?
It can follow the image. Run the document through the Sanitize tool to strip it before sending it out: the tool names it and erases it.
Can I add my images to an existing PDF?
Yes: open that PDF first, then start the tool — it offers to add the pages to the current document rather than create a new one.
In what order do my photos appear?
In the order you choose them. A thumbnail board then lets you rearrange everything if the file picker’s order does not suit you.
Can I turn photos of documents into a readable PDF?
Yes, and that is the commonest use: several photos become a single document, to send as one attachment. Run it through character recognition afterwards to make it searchable.
