ZIP to PDF

Upload a .zip of images and combine them into one PDF.

How ZIP to PDF works

A ZIP file is a handy way to keep a pile of images together, but it is a terrible way to actually look at them. Whoever opens it has to unzip first, then click through a folder one photo at a time. This tool takes a .zip full of images and stitches them into a single PDF, so a scattered set of scans or screenshots becomes one document you can flip through, print, or attach in one piece.

You upload a single .zip that contains your images, and the tool opens the archive in place, reads each image inside, and adds them to a PDF in order, one image per page. When it finishes you download the combined file. There is no need to unzip anything yourself first.

It reads the archive and builds the PDF entirely from the images it finds, so the pages are only as sharp as the pictures you put in. High resolution scans give clean readable pages, while small or blurry images stay small and blurry. Images are placed one per page, so the page count matches the number of pictures, and the file order inside the zip is what determines the page order.

The alternative is converting loose image files with an images to PDF tool, which is better when your pictures are already sitting in a folder on your device. Choose the zip route when the images arrived already bundled, for instance a zip someone emailed you or one exported from another app, since it saves you the extract step entirely.

Common uses include turning a zip of scanned receipts into one expense document, combining a batch of screenshots into a single walkthrough, assembling photographed pages of a contract into a readable file, or merging a set of product shots into one catalog to send.

The archive is opened and the PDF is assembled right in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server, there is no account and no charge, and the only real limit is your device's memory, which matters most when a zip holds many large photos at once.

Frequently asked questions

What image types inside the zip are supported?

Common web and camera formats like JPG and PNG work well since browsers can read them directly. Unusual or raw camera formats may not be recognized, so convert those to JPG or PNG before zipping.

How are the pages ordered?

Pages follow the order of the image files inside the zip, which usually means alphabetical by filename. Naming your files 01, 02, 03 and so on is the easiest way to lock in the sequence you want.

Can the zip contain folders?

It is safest to keep all the images at the top level of the zip rather than nested in subfolders. A flat archive of images gives the most predictable result.

Does it put more than one image per page?

No, each image becomes its own page so nothing gets shrunk to share space. If you want several images on one page, arrange them into a single combined image first.

Will a password protected zip work?

An encrypted zip cannot be opened without its password, and this tool does not prompt for one. Unzip it yourself, then either re zip without a password or use an images to PDF tool on the loose files.

Why is my PDF large?

The PDF carries the full images, so a zip of big high resolution photos produces a big PDF. Compressing the images before zipping, or compressing the finished PDF afterward, brings the size down.
