How to convert an image to PDF for free

Many forms and applications only accept PDF. Converting a photo or a screenshot takes less than a minute.

When a PDF is the right choice

How to convert it step by step

  1. Open the image compressor and converter.
  2. Choose your photo or screenshot. JPG, PNG, WebP and iPhone HEIC photos all work.
  3. In “Convert to”, select PDF.
  4. Download the file. If you choose several images, each one becomes its own PDF and you can download them all together in a ZIP.

The conversion happens on your device: the image is never uploaded to any server, which matters if the document contains personal data.

Tips for a readable PDF

  1. Straight, well-lit photo. Place the paper on a dark surface and take the photo from above, without shadows.
  2. Crop the edges before converting, so only the document is visible.
  3. Adjust the size. If the PDF is too heavy to send, lower the quality or the maximum size before converting.

What if I need several pages in one PDF?

This tool creates one PDF per image. If you need to combine several pages into a single file, convert the images first and then join them with a PDF merging program.

Reduce file size and change format, even from HEIC.
