Why turn images into a PDF?
A PDF keeps several images together in a fixed order, in one file that every computer, phone and online form can open. Typical reasons:
- Online applications and forms — job applications, visas, rental files, insurance claims and university portals often accept only PDF, and sometimes only one file.
- Receipts and expense reports — photograph each receipt and send them as a single document.
- Scanned homework or signed pages — phone photos of paper pages become a document that reads like a scan.
- Sharing a set of photos — one attachment instead of fifteen, always in the right order.
Choosing page size and margins
| Setting | What it does | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Same as image | Each page takes the exact size and orientation of its image | Viewing on screen, photo sets, mixed portrait and landscape |
| A4 | Standard page used in most countries; the image is fitted inside | Printing, official forms (Europe, Asia, Africa…) |
| Letter | US and Canada standard page size | Printing and forms in North America |
| Margin: None | Image goes edge to edge | Photos, screenshots |
| Margin: Small / Large | Adds white space around the image | Documents to print or annotate |
With A4 or Letter, images keep their proportions — they are never stretched.
JPG, PNG, HEIC: all accepted
Despite the name, the tool accepts most image formats and lets you mix them:
- JPG / JPEG — photos from cameras, Android phones and the web.
- HEIC / HEIF — the default photo format on iPhone. No need to convert to JPG first.
- PNG — screenshots and graphics. There is also a dedicated PNG to PDF page.
- WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP — images saved from websites and older software.
Tips for a clean, professional PDF
- Name your files in order (
01.jpg,02.jpg…) before selecting them. They are added in that order, which saves reordering. - Photographing paper pages? Shoot from directly above in good light, fill the frame with the page and avoid shadows. Crop the photos before converting for a scan-like result.
- Mind the file size. Modern phone photos are several megabytes each, so twenty of them can make a PDF too large for email. Compress the finished PDF, or reduce the photos first with Resize image.
- Need to add pages later? Convert the new images, then join both PDFs with Merge PDF.
- Going the other way? To get images back out of a PDF, use PDF to JPG.
Private by design
Photos of IDs, payslips and handwritten letters are exactly the kind of files you should not upload to an unknown server. TurboConvert builds the PDF inside your browser: the images stay on your phone or computer from start to finish.
Common problems and fixes
The pages are in the wrong order. Images are added in the order you select them — on some phones that is the order you tapped, on computers it is often alphabetical. Use the arrows to fix the order before clicking Convert.
A photo appears sideways. Some cameras store the orientation as a tag rather than rotating the pixels. If a page still comes out sideways, fix it in seconds with Rotate PDF, or rotate the photo in your gallery and convert again.
The PDF is too large to send. Phone photos of 3–5 MB each add up fast. Compress the finished PDF — most upload portals are satisfied with the Recommended level.
“Not a supported file.” RAW camera files, PDFs and documents can’t be used as images here. Export RAW photos to JPG first; to combine existing PDFs, use Merge PDF instead.
White borders around photos. With A4 or Letter, a photo whose proportions differ from the page leaves white space. Choose Same as image for borderless pages, or keep A4 with no margin for the thinnest borders.
