Preserving metadata when converting JPG to PDF
What metadata survives the conversion in JPG to PDF, and what gets stripped (and why that matters). Browser-based, free, no signup, runs entirely on your device.
JPG and PDF both have their place — but when you need one and you've got the other, JPG to PDF is the cleanest way to convert between them in your browser.
Open the tool: JPG to PDF — Browser-only. Nothing is sent to a server.
What metadata survives the conversion
Most embedded metadata (EXIF for images, ID3 for audio, etc.) is preservable across the conversion, but JPG to PDF defaults to stripping it for privacy. If you specifically need to keep metadata, there's a toggle.
Stripped metadata can include: GPS location, camera serial number, edit history, original filename, capture time. Strip by default unless you have a reason to keep it.
