💡 Why use Images to PDF?

One PDF is far easier to handle than a folder of loose images. It keeps pages in order, opens the same on every device, and looks professional when you send scanned documents, a receipt bundle, a portfolio or a multi-page form as a single attachment.

Order and orientation matter

Images are added to the PDF in the order you add them, so drop them in the sequence you want the pages to appear. Before converting, make sure each photo is rotated the right way up — a sideways photo becomes a sideways page.

For document photos, good lighting and a straight, flat shot produce the most readable pages. If a file is large, you can compress the images first so the final PDF stays a sensible size.
