Turn photos into a PDF
Made for the pictures that come off a phone: receipts, documents held up to the light, pages of a form, a set of photographs to send as one file.
Camera photographs bring two things a design export does not - a rotation flag that decides which way up the picture is, and a block of metadata that can include where it was taken. The rotation is applied to the pixels so pages are the right way up wherever they are opened, and the location data does not travel into the PDF.
How to turn photos into a PDF
- Drop in your photos, straight from the phone or the folder you saved them to.
- Drag them into the order you want the pages.
- Pick a page size, or let each page match its photo.
- Save the PDF. Your photos never left the device.
Supported formats
This tool accepts JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC files. Everything is decoded by your own browser, so the formats available depend on what your browser can open - which for HEIC in particular varies between Safari and other browsers.
Frequently asked questions
Will my photos be the right way up?
Yes. A camera writes an orientation flag rather than rotating the pixels, which is why photographs sometimes appear sideways in software that ignores it. The rotation is applied to the actual pixels here before the page is written, so the PDF is correct in every reader.
Does the PDF contain where the photo was taken?
No. A camera photograph can carry GPS coordinates in its metadata, and that metadata is not carried into the document. If you want the original files cleaned as well - not just the PDF - the GPS removal tool does that to the photographs themselves.
Can I use this for a scanned document or a receipt?
Yes, and that is the common case. Photograph each page, drop them in, order them, save one PDF. If the pages are skewed or the lighting is uneven, the document scanner tool straightens and cleans them up first, which makes a noticeably more presentable result.
Why can my iPhone photo not be opened?
iPhones save HEIC by default, and most browsers other than Safari do not include a HEIC decoder - a licensing consequence, not a fault in your file. Either open this page in Safari, or set Settings, Camera, Formats to Most Compatible so new photographs are saved as JPEG.
