How to turn JPG or PNG images into a PDF on Linux
You don't need special software to turn JPG or PNG images into a PDF on Linux. FernPDF runs entirely in Firefox or Chrome on Linux: open the tool, drop your file, download the result. Photos of IDs, receipts and forms stay on your device, the safest way to PDF anything personal.
On Linux, you drag it into the drop zone from your file manager, or click to open the browser's native file picker. Once the document is ready, it downloads to your ~/Downloads folder, or wherever your browser's settings point downloads, the same as any other file it saves.
The picker's exact look depends on your desktop environment (GNOME, KDE, Xfce), but the underlying behaviour is identical: it's a standard browser file input, not a custom uploader that behaves differently across distributions.
No hunting for the right CLI flags or building tools from source. A browser is the only dependency, on any distribution.
