When you save a photo to your phone or computer, it’s usually saved as a JPEG file. If you need a PDF version of your photo, you can easily convert it with software that's already on your computer, phone, or tablet. Another super-fast option is to use Adobe's free online JPG-to-PDF file converter. We'll walk you through converting a JPG image to a PDF on a PC, Mac, Android, iPhone, or iPad.
