How do I export a jpg to pdf in the Photos app?

Apart from the very obvious.. why one earth would you want to convert a jpeg to pdf?... you can print from Photos, iPhoto and indeed every single app on your Mac to a pdf.

If that's too complicated, then you can simply open the jpeg in Preview and export it to pdf.

Doesn't matter how simple the task, you still have to learn how to do it.

If you want help you need to accurately and completely describe the problem you are having. Remember we can't see your machine, nor read your mind. Less of the tantrum is good too. It's quite obvious that you don't know some very basic stuff. I'm quite happy to help, but have limited patience for sulking.

The pdf option is not given in the print commands

Perhaps you're not looking in the right place/menu:

To open a jpeg in Preview one must export it to the Desktop and drag the file onto the Preview application.

If you Control (right) - click on the jpeg file while it's on the Desktop and select Get Info from contextual menu you'll see which app the jpeg is set to open with:

If it's not set to open with Preview or your preferred app change it in the drop down menu and clic, on the Change All Button:

I'd like to this as well, specifically to output to PDF because I don't have a color printer at home, but do have access to one at work, I just want to make a contact sheet printout of an album to help myself organize my sneaker collection.

Same issue, same answers.

But doesn't your printer at work bring Jpeg?

I know this question is almost a year old, but I had the same question and after reading the comments, I had to respond. This was not a stupid or neophyte question. Photos handles printing differently from any other Mac App I've seen, which gave rise to my own confusion as to how to print to .pdf, and I've been using macs for over 25 years.

As it turns out, there are actually two dialog boxes, both with the "Print" button. This is shown on Old Toad's photo. If you are on the first dialog, it gives no option for printing to .pdf. Of course, if you want to print to .pdf you don't want to print to the shown printer, so one wouldn't click the 'Print' button that takes you to the second dialog box. This second dialog box, as it turns out, DOES contain the options for printing to .pdf.

I was just really turned off by the snark in the responses. And yes, I have a very good reason to convert .jpgs to .pdfs.

Perhaps you missed the abuse aimed at the volunteer helpers that was edited out by the hosts. That was off-putting too.

Yes, I did miss that. Every time I feel an urge to pipe up on matters like this, I am later reminded that I am not the judge of the internets. Mea culpa.

The users below are very helpful but the one thing they are missing is you have to hit the print button in the first dialogue box/screen trusting that it won't destroy your printer ink supply and paper stock and then ... and only then... do you get the dialogue box with the "save as PDF" option. Thanks to those that got me to the right screen eventually.

Brilliant- Thanks

I have to send multiple images as PDF, this was quicker and simpler than preview, pages and keynote.
