How to Combine Multiple Photos into One PDF
Put several pictures into a single, neatly ordered PDF with the right page size, orientation and margins, on a phone or computer, without installing anything.
There are plenty of reasons to put photos into one PDF: sending a set of receipts to the accounting department, sharing pictures of a damaged item with an insurance company, submitting artwork for a course, or simply making one tidy file instead of twenty separate images. A PDF keeps the pictures in a fixed order, opens on every device and is accepted by forms that don't take image files. Here's how to do it with Image to PDF.
Step 1: Gather your photos
Collect the pictures in one place: a folder on your computer, or an album on your phone. If the order matters, it helps to rename the files with numbers at the start (01, 02, 03...) because the tool can sort images by file name. Photos straight from a camera or phone usually carry the date and time in their name, so sorting A-Z puts them in the order they were taken.
Step 2: Add the photos
Open Image to PDF and click "Choose Photos", or drag the files onto the page. You can add JPG, PNG, WebP and iPhone HEIC photos, and you can select many at once. Forgot some? Use "Add More" to append them later.
Step 3: Arrange, rotate and remove
Every photo appears as a card. Now put them in order:
- Drag a card to move it.
- Use the A-Z or Z-A buttons to sort by file name.
- Press rotate on any photo that appears sideways.
- Press delete to remove a picture you don't want.
Step 4: Choose page size, orientation and margins
Open the settings panel. These options decide how each photo sits on its page:
| Setting | Options | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Page size | A4, US Letter, Fit to Image Size | A4 or Letter if the PDF may be printed; Fit to Image Size for on-screen viewing with no white borders |
| Orientation | Portrait, Landscape | Portrait for upright photos and documents; Landscape for wide pictures and screenshots |
| Margin | None, Small, Large | None to use the whole page; Small (10 mm) or Large (20 mm) for a cleaner printed look |
Each photo is scaled to fit inside the page and centred, keeping its original proportions. Nothing is cropped or stretched. If your photos have mixed orientations, "Fit to Image Size" gives every page the exact shape of its picture.
Step 5: Create the PDF
Leave "Merge all images into a single PDF file" ticked to get one document with one photo per page, then click "Download as PDF". If you untick the option, each photo becomes its own PDF and you receive them together in a ZIP file.
How big will the PDF be?
Modern phone photos are large, often 3 to 5 MB each, and twenty of them would make an unwieldy PDF. Image to PDF therefore resizes each picture so its longest side is at most 2000 pixels and stores it as a high-quality JPEG. On screen and in normal printing the difference is invisible, but the file becomes many times smaller. Twenty photos typically end up as a PDF of a few megabytes, easy to email.
Photos of documents: use Scan to PDF
If the photos show paper, such as receipts, letters or handwritten notes, Scan to PDF is the better tool. It cleans up the background, removes shadows and boosts contrast, so the pages look scanned rather than photographed, and the files are even smaller. Image to PDF is designed to keep photos exactly as they look, which is what you want for pictures of objects, people, places and artwork.
On a phone
Everything works in the mobile browser. On iPhone, tap "Choose Photos" and pick from your Photo Library; on Android, choose from Gallery or Files. The finished PDF lands in your downloads, ready to attach to an email or share in a messaging app. For more about iPhone photo formats, see turning HEIC photos into a PDF.
Your photos stay private
The PDF is built in your browser. Your photos are not uploaded, analysed or stored by anyone, which matters when the pictures show IDs, children, your home or other personal details.
