    Processing limits, storage and format notes

    Each input is limited to 25 MiB (shown as 25 MB), with a 75 MiB input total and up to 12 files. Generated files together and the ZIP individually are also capped at 75 MiB. Processing may still fail within these caps if the browser lacks available memory.

    Input files and results are not sent to an external service or written to browser persistent storage. Editing, undo and previews use this tab’s memory and are cleared when leaving the page. Downloaded files remain on your device.

    Cancellation is checked between processing stages and may take a moment during a large save or ZIP operation.

    Images are re-encoded from a browser canvas rather than copied with all original photographic metadata. Color, orientation and printed appearance can vary by file and viewer; inspect the saved document before an important submission.

    Originals are not overwritten. Reloading or closing clears files and results from this tab; downloaded files remain on your device.

    How to use this tool

    1. Select several images and adjust their order and rotation.
    2. Choose paper, orientation, margins and fit, then inspect the page layout preview.
    3. Choose PNG or JPG encoding, create the PDF and review the saved document.

    Arrange landscape and portrait images on A4

    Input and settings
    640×480 landscape and 480×640 portrait images; A4; automatic orientation; 10 mm margins; Contain
    Result
    Two A4 pages, one landscape and one portrait, preserving image proportions

    Automatic orientation is chosen per image, so a PDF can contain mixed page orientations.

    Choose paper size and fit deliberately

    A4 and US Letter use fixed paper dimensions. Automatic orientation chooses landscape when the rotated image is wider than it is tall. Match image dimensions maps pixels to PDF points at 96 dpi and adds the chosen margins; the separate orientation setting is unused in that mode.

    Contain keeps the complete image within the usable area. Cover preserves proportions but crops edges to fill that area. Contain without enlarging avoids growing a small image beyond its nominal 96-dpi size. The dashed preview guide marks the margin boundary and is not printed into the PDF.

    Encoding, pixels and transparency

    Images are redrawn in the browser with orientation information applied before embedding. PNG can suit lines and text, while JPG may be more compact for photographs. The JPG quality value is a browser-encoder setting, not a guaranteed compression ratio or a fixed visual-quality measurement.

    Transparent areas are composited onto white. Each input may contain up to 40 megapixels; the embedded raster may be reduced to stay within 24 megapixels and 10,000 pixels per side. Image-sized paper is capped at 14,400 points per side. There is no multi-image page grid or text recognition.

    Check important details near photograph edges

    Cover can crop a date or signature near the edge of a photograph. Check that important details remain inside the margin boundary in the page preview, and choose Contain when the complete image is required.

    Paper settings apply to all included images, while automatic orientation is decided separately for each one. Choose Portrait or Landscape explicitly when the entire document must share one orientation.

    Common questions

    Does PNG encoding preserve transparency?

    No. This workspace composites transparency onto white for both encodings. Selecting PNG chooses the raster encoding.

    Will text inside a photo become searchable?

    The image is embedded as a raster and no OCR is performed. Visible lettering does not become searchable PDF text.
