A PDF is what you hand someone when the image needs to stay exactly as it is: layout intact, no accidental edits, printable on any printer, openable on any device. Converting an image — or a stack of images — to PDF takes seconds and produces a file that works everywhere Adobe Reader, a browser, or a printer driver is present.
The online tool converts a single image to PDF instantly, no software required. For multi-page PDFs, combined documents, or batch processing of hundreds of files, Total Image Converter handles it on the desktop.
The online converter accepts the most common image formats: JPG/JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF (first frame), and TIFF. For less common formats — WebP, HEIC/HEIF (iPhone photos), AVIF (Chrome-saved images), multi-page TIFF, and RAW camera formats (CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG) — Total Image Converter on the desktop handles all of these with full color profile and metadata support.
Online converter: converts one image to one PDF. The image is embedded at its native resolution on a page sized to match the image dimensions. This is the right tool when you have a single photo, a scan, or a screenshot that needs to become a self-contained PDF document.
Total Image Converter (desktop): combines any number of images into a single PDF in the order you specify. Select 20 JPEGs, set the page order, choose paper size and margins, and the output is one PDF with 20 pages. This is what you need for scanned document reassembly, multi-page contracts, photo books, and image-based catalogs.
When an image is embedded in a PDF, it is stored as a compressed image stream inside the PDF container. By default, the source image is embedded at its original resolution with JPEG compression applied to the image data. A 300 DPI photograph embedded in a PDF at 300 DPI prints at full quality with no visible degradation — the PDF format does not impose a resolution limit.
For long-term archival, PDF/A is the relevant standard (ISO 19005). PDF/A restricts the use of features that reduce long-term readability — no encryption, no JavaScript, embedded fonts — and is required by many government and legal document archives. The desktop application supports PDF/A output; the online converter produces standard PDF.

Converting an image to PDF produces an image-only PDF: the text visible in the image is a picture of text, not machine-readable characters. You cannot select, copy, or search the text in such a PDF. This is fine for photos, product images, and diagrams, but not for scanned documents where text searchability matters.
To produce a searchable (OCR) PDF from a scanned image, you need optical character recognition software that reads the image, identifies character shapes, and embeds a hidden text layer behind the image in the PDF. Total Image Converter does not perform OCR — for that, a dedicated tool such as Adobe Acrobat, ABBYY FineReader, or Tesseract is required. If your use case is scanned contracts, invoices, or text-heavy documents that need to be searchable, plan for OCR as a second step after conversion.

The online converter produces one PDF per image. To combine multiple images into a single multi-page PDF, use Total Image Converter on the desktop — select all images, choose PDF as the output, and the result is one PDF with each image on a separate page.
Standard PDF conversion embeds the image with JPEG compression. At default settings (typically 85–90% quality), there is no visible quality loss for photographs. For lossless embedding, Total Image Converter allows you to choose the compression level or embed images without recompression.
The online converter creates a PDF page sized to fit the image at its native resolution. The desktop application lets you choose standard page sizes (A4, Letter, A3) and control margins, scaling, and orientation — useful when the output needs to match a print template.
Yes, with Total Image Converter. Multi-page TIFF files — common output from fax machines and document scanners — are converted to a single PDF with each TIFF page becoming a PDF page. The online converter processes only the first page of a multi-page TIFF.
The online converter produces a standard, unencrypted PDF. If you need a password-protected or permission-restricted PDF, Total Image Converter on the desktop supports PDF encryption and permission settings (read-only, no printing, etc.) as part of the output configuration.
Yes. PDF is a cross-platform format (ISO 32000). The file produced by CoolUtils opens in Preview on macOS, Evince on Linux, Adobe Reader on any platform, and in every modern web browser without any plugin.
