FreePic2Pdf

FreePic2PdfIt is a software that merges and converts image files (including TIFF, JPG, JP2/J2K/JPC, PNG, GIF, BMP) into PDF files. FreePic2Pdf can support multi-page TIFF and multi-frame (animated) GIF. Each page or frame counts as one image, and the page size of the generated PDF file can be selected, thus ensuring the quality of image conversion. FreePic2Pdf2024 free download.

FreePic2Pdf function introduction:

For lossy/lossless compressed JPEG 2000, lossy compressed JPG files and tiff files compressed with JPEG/OJPEG algorithm, the original data stream is directly embedded in the PDF file to avoid image quality degradation caused by re-compression.

For lossless compressed image files, black and white images are decoded and compressed into JBig2 (lossy or lossless) or CCITT G4, and other decoded images are compressed into ZIP data streams and embedded into PDF files.

Supports multi-page TIFF and multi-frame (animated) GIF, one image per page or frame.

FreePic2PDF usage tutorial

1. Double-click to run the "FreePic2Pdf.exe" application;

2. Select "Convert selected files" to convert several files in one directory at a time, or convert files in multiple directories.

After clicking the "Select Source File" button, you can select files (hold down the Ctrl or Shift key and click on the files to select multiple files). The selected files are arranged in a list, and you can sort, adjust the order, delete and other operations through the buttons provided on the toolbar. , double-clicking the file list will call the system default image browser to display the selected image.

If the "Auto Clear" option is selected, each time you click the "Select Source File" button, the original content in the list will be cleared. If you need to convert files in multiple directories at one time, you need to click off this option and then select the files one by one. . Each time a file is selected, the files in the list will be sorted according to the sorting method specified by the "Auto Sort" option. If "None" is selected, automatic sorting will not be performed.

If you select "Convert files in specified folder", click the "Select Source Folder" button to select the folder. During conversion, the files in the source folder are filtered according to the "Convert Files" option, and then the filtered files are sorted according to the order specified by the "Sort Files" option. You can also select the file or folder that needs to be converted in the resource manager first, and then drag it to the FreePic2Pdf interface. If a folder is dragged over, "Convert files in the specified folder" is automatically selected, otherwise "Convert selected files" is selected.

3. Select the storage location of the converted PDF file.

If you select "Save all into one PDF file" at this step, all image files will be merged into the PDF file selected by clicking the "Select PDF file" button.

If you select "Convert each image into a PDF file and store it in a folder", the converted PDF file will be stored in the specified folder.

If the "Use fixed files/folders" option is selected, the system will automatically remember the last used PDF files and folders. Otherwise, each time you click the "Select Source Folder" button, PDF files and folders will be automatically generated.

4. Set conversion parameters

Paper size (paper type, orientation, page margins): basically the same as Word: the generated PDF file has one image per page, automatically centered, and large images automatically reduced. What is special is that if you select "Image Size" for "Paper Size", the size of each page of the generated PDF will be set according to the image size (one image per page). If the image size is not uniform, the size of each page of the generated PDF will be set. It is also not uniform; if you select "Fixed Width", the width of each page of the PDF is fixed, and the length automatically expands and contracts according to the image size.

PDF file initial view: This is the same as the setting in Acrobat's "Document Properties" and specifies how to display the document pages when opening the PDF file.

DPI of the original image file: When calculating the size of the image in the PDF, first divide the image pixel size by the DPI value to convert it into inches, and then multiply the inches by 72 to convert it into the logical size in the PDF. "Current screen DPI" can ensure that the size of the image seen in the PDF file is the same as the size of the image seen with other image viewing software. If "Fixed DPI" is manually set, the size of the image seen in the PDF file will be the same as the DPI value. Inverse proportion, that is, the larger the DPI, the smaller the image. The default 96 DPI is the DPI value when my 17" monitor is set to 1024*768. For TIFF files generated by scanning, the DPI value at the time of scanning is usually stated in the file. If you select "Prioritize image scanning DPI", it will automatically try to extract the DPI value from the image file (including TIFF, BMP, PNG, GIF, JPG in JFIF format, excluding JP2 and J2K) instead of the manually set DPI.

5. Set black and white TIFF to transparent: If selected (selected by default), the background of all black and white images is set to transparent. When reading in PDF Reader, you can set the background color as needed (I am used to setting it to gray) to avoid white background. The black letters look too tired. If unchecked, the background color is white.

Enable interface file: If this option is selected (selected by default), the interface file in the source folder (the file name is fixed to FreePic2Pdf.itf) will be automatically read during conversion, and the minimum picture width, multi-layer image information, and text will be obtained from it. pages, bookmarks, etc. This interface file is usually generated by Pdg2Pic. If "Preface page prefix" and "Table of contents page number prefix" are empty, uppercase English letters and Roman numerals will be used to represent the cover page and table of contents page respectively, otherwise they will be represented by prefix + numbers.

Compression algorithms for image files other than JPEG and JPEG 2000: When converting graphic files to PDF, the JPEG and JPEG 2000 data streams are directly embedded in the PDF file. Other image files need to be recompressed before being stored in PDF. For black and white images, you can choose JBig2 lossless, JBig2 lossy, or CCITT G4. Usually JBig2 lossy compression has the largest compression ratio and the slowest speed; CCITT G4 has the smallest compression ratio and the fastest speed; JBig2 lossless is somewhere in between.

For color/grayscale images, in order not to lose quality, all use ZIP compression, but use TIFF or PNG for preprocessing before compression, and the final compression ratio may be different. It is recommended to select the default "fastest" to speed up the process. Of course, you can also select "smallest size" to let the system automatically select the processing method with the largest compression ratio, but this comes at the cost of time.

Friendly reminder: The conversion parameters have a great impact on the reading effect of the converted PDF file. It may be necessary to repeatedly adjust and convert several times to obtain satisfactory results.

6. Start conversion

Start converting source files into PDF files. Click the "Abort" button during the conversion process to interrupt the conversion process.

If an error occurs during the conversion process, it will be reported after the conversion and asked whether to view the error record.
