What this guide is based on
PDFSwipe Images to PDF using JPG and PNG files in portrait, landscape, and mixed dimensions.
This is practical product guidance, not a promise that every PDF feature or source file will behave identically.
Choose the right workflow
Before you start
| Approach | Use it when | Avoid it when |
|---|---|---|
| A4 or Letter | The PDF will be printed or submitted as a standard document. | Preserving each image's native proportions is the priority. |
| Fit to image | The full image must remain visible without cropping. | Every page needs a consistent print size. |
| Add margins | Content needs breathing room or safe print edges. | The image should fill the entire page. |
The workflow

Check: The result is readable at the destination's expected zoom or print size.
What usually goes wrong
