ZIP to PDF in 3 steps

  1. Select the ZIP file, or drop it on the box.
  2. Click Convert to PDF. Pictures and PDFs are added in name order.
  3. Download one PDF with everything that was inside the ZIP.

One PDF from a folder that arrived zipped

Scanned pages from a copier, photos of receipts, exam answer sheets or the separate PDFs that a split or export tool hands back often arrive as a ZIP file. Uploading them one by one to a portal is slow, and many forms accept a single PDF only. This tool opens the ZIP in your browser, takes every JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and PDF it finds, and joins them into one document.

Files are ordered by name the way people count, so scan 2 comes before scan 10, and folders inside the ZIP keep their order. JPEG photos are placed in the PDF without being re-compressed, and pages from PDFs inside the ZIP are copied as they are, with their text still selectable. Other files, such as text or Word documents, and hidden Mac folders are skipped.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a ZIP file to PDF?

Select the ZIP and click Convert to PDF. You do not need to unzip it first: the tool reads the pictures and PDFs inside and downloads one combined PDF.

In what order are the files added?

By file name, counting numbers properly, so page 2 comes before page 10 even without leading zeros. To change the order, rename the files before zipping them, for example 01, 02, 03.

Can the ZIP contain PDF files?

Yes. Every page of each PDF is copied into the result, keeping its text and links, and pictures become pages of their own. It is a quick way to merge a ZIP of PDFs into one file.

What happens to Word, Excel or text files in the ZIP?

They are skipped, because only pictures and PDFs can become pages directly. Convert them to PDF first with Word to PDF or Excel to PDF, then add the results to the ZIP.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The ZIP is opened inside your browser on your own device and nothing is sent to a server, which matters for scans of IDs, contracts and medical papers.
