How to convert photos and images to a PDF

Forms, receipts and handwritten notes often start life as phone photos. A single PDF is much easier to email or upload than a dozen separate pictures.

Step by step

  1. Open the Images to PDF tool and add your images. You can pick several at once, and add more later.
  2. Each image appears as a thumbnail, numbered in the order it will appear in the PDF. Use the arrow buttons to move one earlier or later, and the cross to remove it.
  3. Click Create PDF. The button shows how many images it will include. Your PDF is saved as images.pdf.

What to know about the result

  • Each image becomes one page, and the page takes the size of that image. There is no A4 or Letter option yet.
  • JPG and PNG images are placed as they are, with no quality loss. Other formats your browser can display, like WebP, are converted first.
  • Photos taken with a phone held sideways are turned the right way up automatically.
  • HEIC photos (the default on some iPhones) aren't supported. Change your camera format to Most Compatible, or share them as JPG.
  • Big photos make big PDFs. Run the result through the Compress tool if you need it smaller for email.

Privacy

The images are combined in your browser or in the app and never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put several images on one page?

No. Each image gets its own page.

How many images can I add?

There is no set limit. Very large batches depend on your device's memory.

Can I make the text in my photos searchable?

Yes. Run the PDF through the OCR tool to extract the text.
