Online Tool vs. Android App: Which One Should You Use?
Both Smallpdf’s Android app and online tool create clean, share-ready PDFs, but each suits different situations.
When the Online Tool Is Better
The online tool is the fastest option when you just want to convert a few images.
You don’t need to download anything, and you can upload photos directly from your gallery. It’s ideal for quick, one-off tasks or when your device storage is tight. You also get access to all the web-based tools like Merge, Compress, Edit, and Sign PDF.
When the Android App Is Better
The app helps when you prefer to work offline or want to scan documents with your phone camera before converting them to PDF. It also keeps your recent files in one place, which makes repeated tasks easier.
If you often handle documents on your phone, the app can be a more convenient long-term option.
How File Handling Differs
In the browser, your files are uploaded securely and removed from our servers after one hour. With the app, files stay on your device unless you choose to share or upload them.
Cloud storage options—including Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox—are available in both.
Supported Formats and File Size Notes
You can convert a wide range of image formats on Android, including JPG, PNG, HEIC, BMP, GIF, TIFF, and WEBP.
Most everyday photos upload without any issues, and the exact file size you can work with may vary by plan, device, and connection speed. If a file is unusually large or slow to process, switching to a stronger network or compressing the image first often helps.
What to Do After You Convert JPG to PDF on Android
Once your JPG is converted to PDF, you can enhance it with these Smallpdf tools:
- Delete pages - Remove pages you don’t need.
- Rotate - Rotate individual or multiple pages.
- Merge - Combine multiple PDFs into one file.
- Edit - Add text, images, or annotations.
- Compress – Reduce file size up to 40%.
- Sign – Add e-signatures.
Share or Save to Google Drive and Dropbox
After conversion, tap the share icon to:
- Save directly to Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox.
- Generate a shareable link.
- Email the PDF directly.
Easily share your converted PDF file, from JPG
Troubleshooting Common Issues on Android
If your JPG won’t convert or something unexpected happens while using the online tool, these steps usually help.
The File Won’t Upload
Make sure the image is saved locally on your device and not in a restricted folder. If the upload still fails, try uploading through your device’s file picker instead of the gallery preview.
The JPG Turns Sideways in the PDF
Some Android images store rotation data that doesn’t match how they appear in your gallery. After uploading, use the rotate option in the preview panel to fix the orientation before converting.
The PDF Looks Blurry or the File Is Too Large
Lower the image quality setting before converting. If the file is still too big, you can run it through the Compress PDF tool afterwards to shrink the size.
The Tool Loads Slowly
Slow Wi-Fi or mobile data can delay uploads. Switching to a stronger connection usually helps. Clearing your browser cache or closing unused tabs may also improve loading times.
Some Folders Don’t Appear When Selecting Images
Android may block browser access to certain folders, especially after recent OS updates. If you can’t see the image you want to upload, move it to your main “Pictures” or “Downloads” folder, or grant storage permission when your browser prompts you.
HEIC or WEBP Images Don’t Preview Correctly
Some Android phones save photos in HEIC or WEBP by default. If the preview looks wrong or doesn’t load, continue with the conversion anyway—Smallpdf will still convert the file to PDF. You can also convert the image to JPG or PNG first if you prefer.
