How to turn photos into a PDF
- Add your photos
Select them all at once. They are listed in the order they were added.
- Get the order right
Drag to rearrange. Phone galleries do not always sort the way you expect, and page two arriving first is the most common mistake here.
- Choose a page size
Match each image keeps photographs edge to edge. A fixed size is better if the document will be printed.
- Create and check
Open the result and confirm every page is the right way up and in the right order before submitting it anywhere.
Why this matters for exam and study documents
Photographing a handwritten script is fine; submitting twelve separate JPGs is not, and most portals reject it. One PDF, correctly ordered, is what the marker needs.
What is kept, what changes, and what this will not do
Everything produced here is an image of a page. That is what makes it portable and what makes it unsearchable, and the two are the same property seen from different sides.
Kept
- Every image's content and aspect ratio
- Camera orientation from the EXIF tag
- The order you arranged
Changed
- Images are re-encoded as JPEG at the quality you choose
- EXIF metadata, including location, is not carried into the PDF
- The result is a picture of a page with no searchable text
Limits
- Up to 30 images and 50 MB in total.
- The result has no text layer. Nothing here reads handwriting.
Questions and answers
Why are my photos sideways in other converters?
Because phones record the sensor image in a fixed orientation and store the rotation separately, in an EXIF tag. A converter that ignores that tag produces sideways pages. This one reads it.
Can I use HEIC photos from an iPhone?
Export them as JPG first - the Files app and the share sheet both offer it. HEIC is not read directly here.
My PDF is 40 MB. How do I shrink it?
Lower the image quality to around 70 and convert again, or run the result through Compress PDF. For handwriting, Scan to PDF produces much smaller files because it converts to greyscale.
Is location data in my photos included?
No. The images are re-encoded and EXIF metadata, geotags included, is not carried into the PDF.
