A pile of phone photos, joined into one document
What the PDF sites charge

The photos people turn into a PDF are receipts, forms, a passport page, a signed contract photographed on a desk. Every site above wants all of that on their machine first. This one builds the document where the photos already are.

Why this is two problems, not one
A phone writes HEIC, and almost nothing that accepts a PDF will accept a HEIC. So the photos have to be opened first, which is the part other converters solve by asking you to upload them.

One page per photo
Drop as many as you like. They are read one at a time, in the order you chose them, and each becomes a page. Nothing is sent anywhere at any point.

Choose the page shape
A4 puts each photo on a printable page with a margin, which is what a form or a receipt wants. Match the photo makes each page exactly the size of its picture, which is what a set of images wants.
FAQ
- How do I turn HEIC photos into a PDF?
- Drop them on this page and press the button. It runs in your browser, so there is no upload, no account and no limit on how many pages you make.
- Are my photos uploaded?
- No. They are opened and the document is written in the page. No request carries them anywhere, which the network panel will show you while it runs.
- Can I choose the order?
- They land in the order you selected them, and each one becomes a page. To change it, start over and pick them in the order you want.
- Why are the pages JPG inside the PDF?
- Because a PDF holding twelve megapixel photos without compression is hundreds of megabytes and nothing will open it. These go in at high quality JPG, which is what makes the document something you can actually email.
- Do the colours survive?
- Yes. A photo that carries its own colour profile has it written into the page, so a wide gamut picture does not arrive flattened.
- What if one photo will not open?
- The document is not built and the page says so, rather than handing you a PDF that is quietly missing a page.
