Combine images into a PDF

Combine photos, scans and existing PDFs into a single PDF file – for example for job applications, forms or receipts.

or tap to choose. You can change the order afterwards.

Choose files

Step by step

  1. Drop photos, scans or PDF files into the drop area. You can add more files afterwards; they are appended to the end of the list.
  2. Check the list: each row shows a small preview, the file name, its size and file type. Use ↑ and ↓ to move an entry and ✕ to remove it.
  3. Under “Page size”, choose A4, A5, US Letter or “Same as image”, and under “Margin” choose no margin, 10 mm or 20 mm.
  4. Tick “Smaller file” if the PDF is going to be sent by email or uploaded to a portal with a size limit.
  5. Tap “Create PDF”. The status line counts the pages and finally shows the page count and file size. Then download the PDF or pass it on to another tool via “Continue with …”.

What you can use it for

  • Receipts for your tax return: Photographed receipts and invoices from one month end up in a single file. That is tidier than twenty loose photos in a folder and easier to hand over to your accountant.
  • Forms for authorities and insurers: The completed form as a PDF plus photographed supporting documents – all in the order the application asks for, as one document.
  • Multi-page phone photos: If you photograph the pages of a contract or manual one by one, you get one continuous document instead of many separate images.
  • Extending existing PDFs: Add a page to a finished PDF, for example a signed note as a photo at the end, or a cover page at the front.
  • A photo booklet to share: Combine holiday or construction-site photos with “Same as image” into a PDF that anyone can flick through on any device.

How it works

  1. Drop images and PDFs.
  2. Set the order with the arrows.
  3. Choose page size and margin, then tap “Create PDF”.

If the PDF is too large for an upload form, tick “Smaller file”.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add existing PDFs too?

Yes. You can mix PDFs and images freely. All pages of the PDFs are included.

Are portrait and landscape detected?

Yes. With A4 and A5 the page is rotated automatically when the image is wider than it is tall.

Are my documents uploaded?

No. The PDF is created in your browser. That matters especially for IDs and certificates.

What exactly does “Same as image” do?

Each page takes on the aspect ratio of its photo, plus the chosen margin. So there are no white bars, but every page has a different size. For printing, A4 is usually the better choice.

Is a photo cropped on the page?

No. Each image is scaled to fit completely inside the area within the margin and centered. If the aspect ratio doesn't match the page exactly, some white space remains.

Does “Smaller file” also shrink attached PDFs?

No, the option only affects images: they are reduced to at most 2000 pixels on the long side and saved as JPG. Pages from existing PDFs are copied unchanged. If the result is still too large, pass it on to “Compress PDF” via “Continue with …”.

Is image quality preserved without the tick?

JPG and PNG files are then embedded unchanged, as long as a photo doesn't need to be re-oriented because of its stored camera rotation. Other formats such as HEIC or WebP are converted to a high-quality JPG for this.

What happens to transparent PNG images?

Transparent areas appear white on the PDF page.

What is the finished file called?

With a single file, the PDF keeps its name; with several, it is called “combined.pdf”. It's best to rename it before sending so the recipient immediately sees what it is.
