Privacy and Security
All conversions happen locally in your browser. Your images never upload to any server. This ensures:

- No file size limits or conversion caps
Common Issues and Solutions
PDF is Too Large
Solution: Compress images first using the Image Compressor before converting to PDF.
Images Appear Cropped
Solution: Use "Fit to Image" page size or adjust margins to "None".
Wrong Orientation
Solution: Manually rotate images or set orientation to Portrait/Landscape instead of Auto.
Before Sharing PDFs
Remove metadata from images using the Metadata Remover to protect your privacy. Cameras often embed GPS location in photos.
