One of the most common file formats, PDF is platform independent and can be used, read and edited under Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and almost all other platforms. If you have multiple image files, it is easier to share and save them by merging them into one PDF file.
There are many common image formats, such as:
- JPEG: One of the most widely used image formats. It uses a special lossy compression algorithm for smaller file sizes and fast download speeds.
- PNG: Similar to the JPG format, many pictures on the web are in this format, the compression ratio is higher than that of GIF, and transparent images are supported.
- GIF: The biggest feature is that it can be not only a still picture, but also an animation, and it supports transparent background images.
- TIFF: It is an image format widely used in Mac. It is characterized by complex image format, large storage information, and high image quality, but poor compatibility.
- BMP: It is a standard bitmap format under the Windows system. It contains rich image information and hardly compresses it. General BMP image files will be relatively large and will take up more disk space.
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.
Sometimes in order to share image files more conveniently, we need to combine them into one PDF, which can also avoid the problem of image format incompatibility. The following will introduce various methods available for Windows to combine pictures into PDF.
