What is a free alternative to JPG2PDF that keeps my images on my device?

Short answer

JPG2PDF uploads your images to build the PDF: its own page says you upload up to 20 JPG files and that files are automatically deleted after one hour. A browser-based image to PDF tool assembles the document on your own device, so the pictures are never uploaded.

The key difference: uploaded and deleted vs never uploaded

JPG2PDF is a convenient image to PDF tool, and its own instructions say you first upload up to 20 JPG files, which are then automatically deleted after one hour. Combining photos into a PDF is something a browser can do on its own, so a client-side converter reads your JPG and PNG images, packs them into a single PDF in memory, and hands you the finished file with no upload and nothing to delete afterward.

When the browser option is better

Local assembly is the safer choice because photos turned into PDFs are so often sensitive: receipts, IDs, signed forms and paperwork. You add the images, drag them into the order you want, and download one clean PDF, with no watermark, no account, and the pictures never leaving your device.

Step by step

  1. Add your photos. Open the image to PDF tool and add the JPG or PNG files. They stay on your device.
  2. Set the order. Drag the pictures into the order you want the pages to appear.
  3. Download the PDF. Build the PDF locally and download the single combined file.
