How to Combine Photos into One PDF on Any Device

Need to send several pages as one file? Here is the quickest way to turn photos into a single, tidy PDF.

Forms, applications and invoices are often requested as a single PDF. If your pages are photos on your phone, you can combine them in a minute without installing anything.

Step by step

  1. Open the image scanner and choose your photos, or take new ones.
  2. Crop each page so only the paper shows.
  3. Pick a look. Black and white keeps the file small.

  5. Save the PDF.
