Common Use Cases
Scanned Documents
You took photos of a document with your phone. Now you need to submit it as a PDF:
- Take clear, well-lit photos of each page
- Drop them into our Image to PDF tool
- Reorder if needed
- Download as a single PDF
Tips for scanning with your phone:
- Use good lighting (natural daylight is best)
- Keep the camera straight above the document (avoid angles)
- Include all edges of the document in the frame
- Use the phone's built-in document scanner if available (iPhone: Notes app, Android: Google Drive)
Job Applications
Many application portals only accept PDF. If you have JPG certificates, transcripts, or ID scans:
- Gather all images
- Convert to one combined PDF
- Upload the single file
Photo Albums / Portfolios
Create a PDF photo album to share or print:
- Drop all photos
- Arrange in the order you want
- Set page size and margins
- Download — ready to print or share
Receipts and Expenses
Photograph receipts and combine them into a PDF for expense reports or tax records.

Image Format Tips
| Format | From | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| JPG | Phone photos, downloads | Most common, works everywhere |
| PNG | Screenshots, graphics | Larger files, preserves quality |
| HEIC | iPhone photos | Convert to JPG first, then to PDF |
| WebP | Web downloads | Convert to PNG first using WebP to PNG |
Reducing PDF File Size
If your PDF is too large (common with high-resolution photos):
- Resize images first using our Image Resizer — resize to 1200-1500px wide before converting
- Use JPG instead of PNG — photos in JPG are 5-10x smaller
- Lower photo quality — 80% quality is visually identical to 100% but much smaller
- Optimal resolution for documents: 200-300 DPI is enough for readable text
Multiple Images → One PDF vs Separate PDFs
| Approach | When to Use |
|---|---|
| One combined PDF | Job applications, submissions, sharing a document set |
| Separate PDFs | When each image is a standalone document |
| Split later | Combine first, then use PDF Split & Merge to extract pages if needed |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum number of images? Our tool can handle dozens of images. For very large sets (100+), performance depends on your device.
Can I set the page orientation? Yes — rotate individual images in the tool, or choose "Fit to image" page size which automatically matches each image's orientation.
Will the PDF maintain image quality? Yes — images are embedded at their original resolution. The PDF file size depends on the image sizes and format.
Can I add text to the PDF? Our image-to-PDF tool converts images only. For adding text, use a PDF editor after conversion.
