ImageMagick Image to PDF Converter

Using the powerful ImageMagick convert command, quickly merge multiple images (such as JPG, PNG, WEBP, etc.) and convert them into a single, ordered PDF document. More feature-rich than the pdfly version, supporting more formats and custom options.

⚡️ Quick Start: Convert a Folder of Images to PDF

1. In "Processing Mode", select Select Folder.
2. Click to select a folder containing all images to be converted.
3. Select an output folder to save the generated PDF.
4. (Optional) Choose Standard Quality in "Image Quality".
5. Click the "Execute" button. After the command completes, you'll get a converted PDF file.

🤔 When Should I Use It?

• You want to convert a folder containing hundreds of photos into a multi-page PDF album quickly and automatically.
• You need to mix images of different formats (JPG, PNG, WEBP, etc.) together to generate a unified PDF file.
• You not only want to convert but also hope to make some fine-tuning to the generated PDF, such as setting page size, orientation, or adding a title.

⚙️ Parameter Description

Processing Mode

• Select Files: Manually select one or more image files. File order will determine page order in the PDF.
• Select Folder: (Recommended for batch processing) Just select a folder, and the tool will automatically convert all supported images in that folder in filename order.

Image Quality

You can set compression quality for images in the PDF, which directly affects the final PDF file size and clarity.

• High Quality (100): Clearest images, but PDF files will be very large.
• Standard Quality (85): (Recommended) Achieves a good balance between clarity and file size.
• Compressed Quality (60): Smallest file size, but image quality will noticeably decrease.
