How to turn photos into a pdf
- 1. Drop the photos and drag them into reading order.
- 2. Leave size reduction on unless you need every pixel.
- 3. Download the PDF and scroll it before you delete anything.
A stack of photos becomes a PDF by placing each picture on a page. The order you leave is the order someone will scroll. Phone photos are large, so reducing them as they go in is usually right, unless you are archiving the camera files themselves. Those originals should stay in your library. The PDF is a delivery copy. It will not become searchable by being built. A picture of a receipt is still a picture. If a HEIC file will not open, the browser cannot decode it, and the fix is an export on the phone that took it, not an upload.
Turn photos into a PDF is processed entirely on your device. Your original file remains untouched, and nothing is ever uploaded to a server or saved in the cloud.
