Convert Photos and Scans to PDF
Turn phone photos, scanned receipts, or image files into a single organized PDF document — no upload to any server required.
The Scenario
Phone cameras have replaced scanners for most people. You photograph receipts, whiteboard notes, signed documents, and ID cards — then need to submit them as PDFs. Insurance claims want PDF attachments. Expense systems require PDF receipts. Immigration applications need scanned documents in PDF format. Converting scattered photos into a clean PDF is the first step.
Why Privacy Matters Here
The photos you are converting often capture your most personal information: ID documents, medical bills, handwritten notes, signed agreements. A photo of your passport or driver's license uploaded to a conversion server is a significant identity theft risk.
How to Do It
Select your images
Upload JPG, PNG, or other image files. Add as many as you need — each image becomes one page in the output PDF.
Arrange page order
Drag images to reorder them. The PDF pages will follow this sequence.
Convert and download
Click convert. All images are assembled into a single PDF in your browser. Download the result.
Tips
- ▸For best results, photograph documents straight-on with good lighting. Shadows and angles make the PDF harder to read.
- ▸If converting receipts for expense reports, photograph each receipt separately rather than putting multiple receipts in one photo.
- ▸For multi-page documents photographed with your phone, take one photo per page and convert them all together.
- ▸After creating the PDF, use Compress PDF to reduce the file size if needed — photo-based PDFs tend to be large.
Why Browser-Based Processing Matters
Photos of IDs, medical documents, and financial records are high-value targets for identity theft. Converting them in your browser means these images never travel over a network connection to reach a server.
Frequently Asked Questions
What image formats are supported?▼
JPG/JPEG, PNG, and WebP are supported. For best compatibility, use JPG — it is the default format for phone cameras and scanners.
Is there a limit on the number of images?▼
No hard limit. Practical limits depend on browser memory. Most users can convert 50-100 images (up to several hundred MB total) without issues.
Can I adjust image size or orientation in the PDF?▼
Each image is placed on a page sized to fit the image dimensions. If a photo is rotated, use the Rotate PDF tool after conversion to fix orientation.
