Combine Images into One PDF
Several photos of forms, receipts or homework sheets become one tidy PDF with upright A4 pages, in the order you set. Nothing is uploaded.
How to combine images into one PDF
- Select all the pictures that belong to one document, up to 20. Photos, scans and screenshots can be mixed.
- Read the numbers on the left of the list: that is the page order. Move a page with the arrows, or drag its thumbnail on a computer.
- Leave the start of this page as it is, A4 upright with a normal margin, or switch to Letter if the document goes to North America.
- Create the PDF, check that the page count matches, and download it.
The test I ran: five very different images
A real document is rarely made of matching pictures. A tax return ends up as a few photographed pages, a screenshot of a bank transfer and a receipt shot at an angle. So I tested this page with a deliberately mixed set: three of my published photos, one tall and two wide, then a 2200 × 1400 px screenshot of a web dashboard, and last a logo on a transparent background.
All five went into one PDF of 1,731,336 bytes, smaller than the 2,066,914 bytes of the five files, with every page upright A4 in the order I chose. The three photos are inside unchanged. The screenshot and the logo were PNG files, so each was saved once as JPEG, and the see-through parts of the logo came out white like the paper around them.
Page by page
| Page | Image I added | Inside the PDF |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lake Jasna, JPG, 960 × 1200 px, 415.0 KB | The same JPG, unchanged |
| 2 | Clay figure, JPG, 1200 × 800 px, 403.6 KB | The same JPG, unchanged |
| 3 | Red bicycle, JPG, 1200 × 800 px, 701.7 KB | The same JPG, unchanged |
| 4 | Dashboard screenshot, PNG, 2200 × 1400 px, 466.7 KB | JPEG at 85%, 154.9 KB |
| 5 | Logo with transparency, PNG, 640 × 320 px, 31.5 KB | JPEG at 85% on white, 13.0 KB |
On upright pages, a wide picture uses the full width between the margins and leaves white space above and below it. That is how a form or a stack of receipts should look; for a set of landscape photos, change Orientation to Auto.
Forms, receipts and homework
Offices, schools and expense systems usually ask for one PDF, not a handful of loose pictures. Before you take the photos, lay each sheet on a dark, even surface, switch off the flash and hold the phone parallel to the paper. The PDF shows exactly what the photo shows, so a thumb on the edge or a shadow across the text ends up in the document too.
For receipts, photograph each one on its own, even the short ones. One receipt per page is easier to check than several in one picture, and a long receipt fills an upright page well. For homework, put the pages in the order the teacher will read them, the first exercise on page 1.
One image on each page
Every image you add becomes exactly one page, scaled to fit inside the margin. Two images never share a page, so the front and back of an ID card become two pages. If a form needs both sides on one sheet, take one photo with both cards next to each other.
The normal margin of half an inch keeps text clear of the area a printer cannot reach and leaves room for a hole punch or a staple. With a small margin, or none, the pictures get a little larger, which can help with a faint receipt.
Tips for a tidy document PDF
- Crop each photo to the sheet first with the Image Cropper, so the page shows paper and not the table.
- Check the page count after you create the PDF; a missing or doubled page is easy to miss in a long list.
- Remove a picture that came out blurred with its × button and add a better shot with Add more images.
- If the form portal limits the file size, compress the photos before you add them; the PDF is about as large as the pictures in it.

Frequently asked questions
How do I combine multiple images into one PDF on an iPhone?
Open this page in Safari, tap the box and select all the pictures in your library at once. Check the order, move pages with the arrows if needed, then tap Create PDF and Download PDF.
How do I combine multiple images into one PDF on Android?
Open this page in Chrome, tap the box and choose the pictures from Photos or Files. Put them in order with the arrows and create the PDF; it is saved to the Downloads folder of the phone.
Can I put several images on one PDF page?
Not with this tool. Each image becomes its own page, which keeps forms and receipts easy to read. To show two pictures on one page, photograph them side by side or join them in an editor first.
How do I scan receipts to PDF on an iPhone?
Photograph each receipt with the Camera app, flat and in good light. Then open this page, choose all the receipt photos and create one PDF with a receipt on every page, ready for your expense report.
How do I combine two images into one PDF?
Choose both images together, or the first one and then the second with Add more images. The list shows which comes first; tap the arrow to swap them, and Create PDF gives a two-page file.
