When you need to turn images into a PDF
When you’re asked to submit documents as a PDF, you can turn photos taken on your phone into one.
- Submit a photo of an ID document (driver’s license, My Number card, etc.) as a PDF
- Photograph handwritten forms or receipts and combine them into one PDF
- Submit school handouts or assignments by photo
- Arrange scanned image files into a PDF in page order
Settings you can choose
Paper size
Choose A4, A3, B5 (JIS), B4 (JIS), Letter or “Fit to image”. A4 is recommended if you’ll print it or the recipient specifies a size.
Orientation
With “Auto”, wide photos get landscape pages and tall photos get portrait pages. You can also make every page portrait or landscape.
Margins
Choose none, small (10mm) or large (20mm). For printing, margins help keep edges from being cut off.
About quality
JPG and PNG images are placed into the PDF as they are, without re-compression, so quality matches the original. The orientation of phone photos (EXIF data) is read automatically and corrected; in that case, and for WebP and HEIC images, the image is redrawn before being added.
Large images make a large PDF. If there’s a size limit, compress the PDF after converting.
iPhone photos (HEIC) work too
You can select HEIC photos taken on an iPhone and turn them into a PDF directly. To save HEIC photos as JPG or PNG images instead, use HEIC to JPG.
Related tools
If the PDF is large, compress it; to add it to an existing PDF, merge them. To go the other way and turn a PDF into images, use PDF to JPG.
Your images are never uploaded
Your images aren’t uploaded to a server; they’re converted to PDF in your browser. Photos of ID documents are never sent anywhere.
