You can convert an image to PDF (online, for instance) and then merge the two pdfs. But that probably won't look very good unless you can have the image on its own page.

You can open LibreOffice Writer. Drag your pics into it. Resize them as you like. Then Export As PDF.

Try using either pdf arranger or pdf shuffler (both are in mxpi under stable repo)

Create PDF files from single images:
Single File: Use img2pdf program on command line:
img2pdf filename.jpg > filename.pdf
Also, look up ImageMagick. They have the montage to arrange images on a page:

pdf-arranger (preinstalled) can do it if you also install img2pdf (availabe in synaptic).
if the images have an "alpha" channel, I don't think it will work. my jpgs worked great. png files not so much.

GIMP can resize, crop and otherwise modify image files, then export to pdf.

For the record, I believe imagemagick is installed in MX-Linux by default. Its fairly easy to use on the command line:
1) Open a terminal in the directory containing the .JPG or .jpg files
2) Run "convert "*.{JPG}" -quality 100 FILEOUT.PDF" without quotes, using the extension for your situation
This will convert all JPGs to PDFs and combine them in one file, leaving the original JPGs intact.
100 is the dpi - use a larger number for more detail.
To remove all JPGs as well add the following on the same line: " && rm *.JPG"
If you need to convert any .JPG to .jpg so they are all the same use this (without quotes) in the command line: "JPG jpg *.JPG" before running the command in (2).

Awesome,
acutally it is not installed by default,
but it is on the front page of MX Package Installer,
seems good to know,
Thanks
