Dealing with JPG images and PDF files can seem daunting when you’re working on a Mac.

Fortunately, there’s one simple and effective solution – convert your JPG to PDF!

PDFs allow you to easily organize and store multiple images in a single file, can be opened on any device or operating system, and you can even maintain the quality of your JPG images.

In our guide below, we’ll show you three easy methods to convert JPG to PDF on your Mac:

• using Xodo PDF Studio
• using Preview
• Online in your browser

Here's how to convert JPG images to PDFs starting on your MacBook!

Convert JPG to PDF on Mac using Xodo PDF Studio

You can use Xodo PDF Studio to convert JPG to PDF on Mac securely and offline. Use the steps below:

1. Download and install Xodo PDF Studio on your Mac.
2. Launch Xodo PDF Studio.
3. Go to Convert > From Image and select From Image from the drop-down menu.
4. Select your JPG file.
5. Go to File > Save As.
6. Enter a name, select a location, and click on Save.

With Xodo PDF Studio, you can also batch convert from JPG to PDF, use OCR on your scanned PDFs, and work with other image formats.

Moreover, Xodo PDF Studio works completely offline and can be the safest method for secure file conversions on your Mac.

Convert JPG to PDF on Mac with Preview

To convert your JPG into PDF on Mac using the native Preview app, follow these steps:

1. Open your JPG file in the Preview app.
2. In the File menu, choose Export.
3. Select PDF as the export format from the list of file types available.
4. Name the new PDF and save it to your Mac.

This method can be the quickest solution, but you can export only one JPG to PDF at a time, which can be tedious if you have multiple images to convert.

As an alternative, try using Xodo’s online JPG to PDF converter. It allows you to batch convert multiple JPGs to PDFs efficiently, making the process much smoother.
