Choose JPG to PDF for page images

Use JPG to PDF for photographs, receipts, screenshots, and scanned pages. Arrange the images, then choose page size, orientation, margins, and fit. Each source image becomes a PDF page.

Choose TXT to PDF for plain text

Use TXT to PDF when the source is a text file and readable pagination matters more than rich formatting. Set font, spacing, margins, and page options, then inspect line and page breaks.

Choose HTML to PDF for self-contained markup

Use HTML to PDF for supported local markup. Scripts, forms, embedded pages, remote styles, and external resources are intentionally excluded, so required content must be self-contained.

Decide by what the source actually contains

An image does not become editable text merely because it is placed in a PDF. Plain text does not carry Word-style formatting. HTML can describe structure and styling, but only within the converter's safe supported subset.
