How to convert images to PDF

Add JPG or PNG images, drag them into order, choose a page size (fit-to-image, A4 or US Letter) and convert. All your photos become one clean PDF — ideal for receipts, scanned notes, IDs and photo documents.

Turning photos into a document

Add your images, drag them into the right order, and save one PDF. This is how most people get paper into a shareable document now — photograph the pages with a phone, then combine them here. It is also the fix for the situation where a form demands a single PDF and you have eight separate photos.

Photographing documents so they look scanned

Four things make the difference. Use even, indirect light — a window rather than a ceiling lamp directly overhead, which casts your own shadow across the page. Shoot from directly above, not at an angle, or the page comes out as a trapezoid. Put the page on a dark surface so the edges are unambiguous. And hold still: motion blur destroys OCR accuracy later.

Size, and how to control it

Phone photos are large. Eight photos can easily produce a 40 MB PDF, which many upload forms will reject. Two options: compress the images before combining, or build the PDF and then compress the PDF. Compressing first usually gives a slightly better result.

Making it searchable

A PDF built from photos contains no text, only pictures. Run it through OCR PDF afterwards to add a text layer so it can be searched and copied.

Frequently asked questions

Which image formats are supported?

JPG and PNG — the two formats phones and scanners produce. You can mix both in one PDF.

Can I put multiple photos in one PDF?

Yes. Add as many images as you like, drag them into order, and they become the pages of a single PDF.

What page size should I pick?

"Fit to image" keeps each photo at its natural size. Choose A4 or US Letter if the PDF is meant for printing.

How do I make phone photos look like a proper scan?

Even indirect light, camera directly above the page, page on a dark surface, and hold still. Angled shots and overhead lamps are what make photos look like photos.

My PDF is too large to upload. What now?

Compress the images before combining, or compress the finished PDF. Compressing the images first usually gives a better result.

Can I search the text in a PDF made from photos?

Not until you run it through OCR, which adds an invisible text layer beneath the images.
