No install, no server
Unlike typical "online" tools, your images are never sent to a server to be converted: all the processing happens directly on your device.

How to convert photos to PDF cleanly: the complete guide
Converting images to PDF means bringing several photos or screenshots together into a single document, easier to send and archive than a string of separate files. Here's how CocoonPDF does it, and what to watch out for.
How your images become a PDF
Each image is embedded exactly as it is onto a page at its original size, with no recompression or quality loss: what CocoonPDF does is build the PDF wrapper around your photos, not alter them.
Image order: building a coherent document
Just like with merging PDFs, the arrows on each thumbnail move the image within the list: the order shown on screen will be the page order of the final PDF. This matters most when you've photographed a multi-page document one shot at a time with your phone, out of order.
JPG, PNG, and phone photos: what's accepted
Photos taken with a phone are almost always in JPG format and work directly, with no special settings. Screenshots, usually PNG, are accepted the same way: both formats can be freely mixed within the same document.
Why page size varies from one document to another
Since each page takes on the exact dimensions of the source image, a PDF built from phone photos (often high-resolution and portrait-shaped) will have pages sized differently from a standard A4 PDF. This doesn't change how it displays or prints, but it explains why the document doesn't look like a typical office PDF.
Use case: paperwork and receipts
Grouping several photographed receipts into a single PDF for an expense report, assembling supporting documents for a paperwork submission, or simply turning a series of document photos into one file that's easier to email: that's the most common use for this tool.
Frequently asked questions
Are my images sent to a server?
No. The whole conversion happens in your browser: no file is ever sent to or stored on a server. You can verify this yourself: open your developer tools (F12), Network tab, before converting.
Is CocoonPDF really free?
Yes, no account, no limit on the number of images, and no watermark on the PDF produced. The site is simply funded by an ad banner shown on the page.
Can I change the order of the images?
Yes, use the arrows on each thumbnail to move it before starting the conversion. The order shown on screen is the page order of the final PDF.
What is the maximum size accepted per image?
100 MB per image. Since processing happens entirely in your browser, real-world speed also depends on your device's available memory and the number of images.
Is image quality reduced during conversion?
No: each image is embedded as-is into the PDF, with no recompression or extra quality loss.
Does this work on mobile?
Yes, right in your browser (Chrome, Safari...), no app to install.
Can I convert photos taken with my phone?
Yes. Photos from your phone (iPhone, Android) are almost always in JPG format: you can drop them in directly, no need to convert or export them first. Screenshots (usually PNG) work too.
