• How do I make a PDF lookbook where every photo fills its page edge to edge with no white frame?Settings for a PDF lookbook with no white frame: page fits the image with a 0 margin, what DPI does to the page size, and when fill and crop on A4 is the better choice.
• My receipt photo looks upright on my phone but comes out sideways in a PDF; why?Why phone photos turn sideways inside PDFs: the EXIF orientation tag that PDF ignores, and how our converter rotates the pixels for real before embedding.
• How do I print a product label image at a real width of about 10 cm using a PDF?How to print an image at a real size you choose: original size with a DPI value, working out centimetres from pixels, and printing the PDF at actual size.
• The pictures I saved from a supplier's website are WebP; can they go into a PDF?PDF cannot hold WebP, so the tool converts it in your browser to PNG or to JPEG at quality 92 and tells you. When that is enough, and when to convert first yourself.
• My logo is a transparent PNG; why does a color show behind it in the PDF, and how do I control it?PNG images keep their transparency inside the PDF, so the page color shows through. How the colored page background option works and how to pick a color for your logo.
• Is it safe to turn photos of my passport and residence ID into a PDF on a website?Where photos of your passport and residence ID are processed when our tool makes the PDF, and what stays your job: downloaded copies, photo metadata and how you send it.

• I have 45 photos of a long contract and the tool takes 20 at a time; how do I end up with a single PDF?A tidy way to turn more than 20 images into one PDF: batches with identical settings, clear part names, then merging the parts in the right order.
• What does the error that my margin is larger than the page mean, and how do I fix it?What the margin is larger than the page error means: the margin applies to both sides, and on A5 the room disappears fast. How to choose a margin that works.
• I put a very wide panorama on a page sized to the image and got a page too large error; why?With page fits the image, page size comes from pixels and DPI, and PDF viewers refuse a side over 14400 pt. How to work out a DPI that will work.
• A design file my designer sent shows up with negative-looking colors inside the PDF; what is going on?Why some JPEG images look like a photo negative inside a PDF: the CMYK color mode used for print. The fix is an RGB export, then rebuilding the file.
• How do I combine chat screenshots with a customer into one readable PDF to send to a marketplace's support team?Phone screenshots are very tall, so their text shrinks on an A4 page. Use page fits the image with a 0 margin so the text keeps its size, and order the shots by time.
• Does converting JPG photos to PDF reduce their sharpness?In our tool JPEG photos go into the PDF exactly as they are, with no re-encoding, and PNGs losslessly. The one exception, and where any blur you see really comes from.

• How many pixels does an image need to print sharp as a full A4 page?How pixel dimensions relate to a sharp printed A4 page: about 2480 × 3508 px at 300 DPI, and why an 800 × 600 image looks soft on paper whatever you do.
• I only need page 7 of a catalog as an image; do I have to convert the whole file?Need only page 7 of a catalog as a picture? Type the page number in the pages field and convert it alone, with no ZIP and no waiting for the rest.
• Why was my A0 floor plan PDF page refused when I tried to convert it at 300 DPI?An A0 page at 300 DPI needs an image over 9900 px on a side, beyond what a browser can draw. Here is the highest setting that fits and how to find it.

• My supplier sent a PDF catalog; how do I get product pictures out of it for my Salla store?Render the catalog pages at high DPI, crop each product and compress it for your store. And why the supplier's original photos still beat anything cut from a page.
