PDF is a widely-used, platform-independent file format compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and most other platforms. Merging multiple image files into one PDF simplifies sharing and saving.
Common image formats include:
- JPEG: Widely used, employs lossy compression for smaller file sizes and fast downloads.
- PNG: Similar to JPEG, supports higher compression and transparency.
- GIF: Supports both still images and animations, with transparency.
- TIFF: Common on Mac, offers high image quality and large storage but poor compatibility.
- BMP: Standard Windows bitmap format, rich in image information, minimally compressed, leading to large file sizes.
The following will introduce a variety of ways to convert images to PDF in detail, helping you combine multiple images in different formats into one PDF or multiple PDFs.
To share image files conveniently and avoid format incompatibility, combine them into one PDF. Here are various methods available for Windows to combine pictures into PDF.
