The Image to PDF API can convert JPG, PNG, and TIFF image formats to PDF. The Web API can convert one or more images as well as a mixture of the three supported formats at the same time. The images are individually converted as PDFs. When processed together, they can all be merged into a single PDF with multiple PDF pages.
The PDF outputs generated by the Web API are temporarily stored in our server. They will automatically be deleted after 1 hour for security purposes. To learn more about PDF.co Security, check out https://pdf.co/security
JPG to PDF Benefits
Multiple Format Support
Aside from the JPG image format, the Image to PDF Web API supports two other most common image formats – PNG and TIFF. The engine is capable of converting all three different formats in one go. Each image will be converted as a single PDF page. When several images are converted at the same time, they will all be merged into a single PDF with multiple pages.
Large File Support
The Image to PDF Web API can convert files larger than 10MB. It supports the asynchronous mode which allows background processing and job check. When dealing with large files, it is considered a good practice to always set the async mode to true.
Fine-tuning and Custom Configurations
You can set the image quality to control the output PDF file size. Also, you can use other functions provided by PDF.co Web API to further process generated PDF files. For example, you can convert it into a text-searchable PDF, you can split PDF, merge PDF or use your PDF file as a template for new PDF files.
Web API and Business Automation Platforms Integrations
PDF.co platform can be used by software developers from programming languages such as Javascript, PHP, Java, .NET and ASP.NET, C#, Visual Basic, and many others.
If you are not a developer then you can also easily automate your pdf operations through business automation platforms such as Zapier, Integromat, and hundreds of others.
