Convert Image to PDF on Windows

Windows has Print to PDF built into every version since Windows 10, but the workflow for batches is clunky (per-image print dialog) and HEIC support requires extra codec installs.

Windows native paths and why a browser tool beats them for batches

Windows 10 and 11 include "Microsoft Print to PDF" as a built-in virtual printer. Open an image in Photos, choose Print, select Print to PDF, and you get a single-page PDF. This works fine for one image but requires repeating for every image in a batch, and combining them into one PDF requires either a third-party tool or the awkward "send to OneNote then export as PDF" workaround. For HEIC sources, Windows requires the HEIF Image Extensions and the HEVC Video Extensions from the Microsoft Store, the latter of which costs money in some regions.

FixTools bypasses all of these friction points. Open the FixTools Image to PDF page in Edge, Chrome, Firefox, or any modern browser. Drag images from File Explorer onto the upload zone. Click Convert. Done. No printer driver gymnastics, no per-image print dialog, no codec install. HEIC handling is native through a WebAssembly HEVC decoder that runs in the browser without depending on Windows codecs. The output is a clean multi-page PDF with no watermark.

For corporate Windows users on locked-down machines (where IT prevents installing Acrobat, Foxit, or any third-party PDF tool), FixTools is one of the few options that works without admin rights because it is just a web page. The conversion runs in the standard browser sandbox that corporate IT already trusts. No firewall exception, no software request ticket, no waiting for an install approval.

Performance on modern Windows machines is fast. The browser uses V8 (Chrome, Edge) or SpiderMonkey (Firefox) JavaScript engines, both of which are highly optimised on x64 and ARM Windows. A batch of fifty mixed-format images converts in three to five seconds on a typical office laptop. Old Windows 10 machines with 4 GB of RAM handle batches of twenty comfortably; for larger batches on constrained machines, split into smaller groups.

How to use this tool

💡

On Windows, open FixTools in Edge or Chrome and drop your images. The PDF downloads in seconds with no install required.

How It Works

Step-by-step guide to convert image to pdf on windows:

  1. 1

    Gather images in File Explorer

    Collect the images you want to convert in a folder. Select-all with Ctrl-A when ready to drag in one batch. Files can be JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, BMP, TIFF, GIF, or any combination.

  2. 2

    Open FixTools in your browser

    Open Edge, Chrome, Firefox, or any modern browser and navigate to the FixTools Image to PDF page. No admin rights needed.

  3. 3

    Drag images to the upload zone

    Drag the selected images from File Explorer onto the upload zone. Thumbnails appear immediately. Reorder by dragging if needed.

  4. 4

    Convert and save

    Click Convert. The PDF downloads to your Downloads folder by default. Choose where to save in the browser save dialog. The PDF opens in Edge or any reader with one click.

Real-world examples

Common situations where this approach makes a real difference:

Corporate user on locked-down Windows machine

A finance professional at a bank cannot install software without an IT ticket. They need to convert twelve PNG screenshots of dashboards into a PDF for the board pack. FixTools loads in Edge (already approved on the machine), converts in five seconds, and the PDF lands in Downloads with no IT involvement.

Office worker with mixed iPhone and PC photo sources

An office worker has iPhone HEIC photos plus PC PNG screenshots, both needing to combine into one document. Windows Photos cannot read HEIC without extra codecs; FixTools handles both in one batch in Edge with no codec install needed.

IT support documenting a process for users

An IT support engineer captures twenty PNG screenshots while documenting a Windows configuration process. FixTools combines them into a single PDF tutorial that is uploaded to the internal SharePoint help site. No Acrobat license needed for the IT engineer's workstation.

Sales rep printing client photos for a proposal

A field sales rep returns to the office laptop with twenty phone photos AirDropped or USB-copied from a client meeting. FixTools combines them into a polished PDF proposal appendix in Edge, the PDF is attached to the email proposal, and the proposal goes out the same afternoon.

Pro tips

Get better results with these expert suggestions:

1

Pin the FixTools URL to the Edge taskbar

In Edge, click the three-dot menu, then "More tools" > "Pin to taskbar" while the FixTools page is open. The icon appears on the Windows taskbar and launches directly to the tool. Faster than typing the URL each time.

2

Use Snipping Tool to capture screenshots directly to PNG

The Windows Snipping Tool (Win+Shift+S) captures to the clipboard. Paste into Paint or any image editor and save as PNG. Drop the PNG into FixTools to combine with other images into a PDF. This is faster than the PrtScn-paste-save loop.

3

Avoid installing HEIC codecs unless needed elsewhere

FixTools handles HEIC without Windows codecs because it uses a WebAssembly decoder. If you only need HEIC for image-to-PDF conversion, skip the codec install and use FixTools directly.

4

Use Windows shortcut Ctrl+J to find the downloaded PDF in Edge

After conversion, press Ctrl+J in Edge to open the downloads panel. Click the PDF to open it directly, or right-click for share and folder location options.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. FixTools runs in any modern Windows browser including Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and Brave. No installation, no admin rights, no codec install required even for HEIC sources.
Yes. The tool uses a WebAssembly HEVC decoder that runs in the browser, independent of Windows codec installs. You can convert iPhone HEIC files on a Windows machine without buying the Microsoft Store HEVC extension.
For single images, equivalent. For batches, much better because there is no per-image print dialog and no separate combine step. For HEIC, much better because no codec install is needed. For privacy, equivalent (both run locally).
Yes. Edge has a built-in PDF viewer that opens PDFs from any source with one click. The PDF generated by FixTools is a standard ISO 32000 document that works in Edge, Chrome's viewer, Adobe Reader, and every other Windows PDF reader.
Yes. Both versions ship with Edge as the default browser, both run Chrome and Firefox happily. The tool works identically on either OS version.
Yes, provided your corporate browser policy allows reaching external websites. FixTools is just a web page from the browser's perspective and does not require any install, plugin, or admin permission. Many corporate IT teams approve it as a low-risk web app.
No enforced limit. Practical limit is browser memory: a typical Windows laptop handles batches of fifty to a hundred high-resolution images. For larger batches, split and use the FixTools PDF Merger afterward.
