www.pics2pdf.com -- create PDFs from images

    Site: www.pics2pdf.com (not www.pic2pdf.com)

    Just a very small and simple tool to create a single PDFs from a bunch of images. Why? Well, I found I needed this ability a lot lately, as I have a lousy scanner that saves each file as a separate image.

    So if I have to e-mail a copy of paper form, etc., it became annoying to change all those images into one file -- so I made this tool.

    There are others out there, but most of them have format or colour issues, and a lot of them have clunky file uploading.

    Hopefully someone else finds this useful -- it is what it is and only took me about 4 hours to make.

    Nice and easy to use, well done. Could use some styling though! If I was you I'd use a large version of the PDF icon ( http://www.pics2pdf.com/images/pdf.png ) as the skin, with the red area in the centre of the icon as the target area for adding/dropping the files. A bit cheesy but it could be nice if you did it right.

    Also, does it convert the images to PDF or does it package/bundle them in a PDF?

    Thanks for your feedback! Good idea regarding styling...I agree it's a bit plain/boring/amateur (I'm more of a coder than a web designer). I'll take a look and see what I can do.

    It doesn't bundle the images into the PDF, the images are read, understood, resized if necessary, and written to a new in-memory PDF, pixel by pixel. Once done, the user can download it...
