Steps
The order of operations and checkpoints are listed so you can proceed while looking at the screen.
STEP 1
Press Add images or drag files in. The order under Added images on the right becomes the page order.
Press to choose images, or drag them here. You can add up to 20 at once.
Drag the handle or use the arrows to reorder, and the trash icon to remove.
STEP 2
For printing or submitting, A4 portrait or A4 landscape works well. To view on screen, Fit to image is a good choice. Images are centered and keep their proportions.
Choose A4 portrait, A4 landscape, or Fit to image. Fit to image makes pages the same shape as the image.
Yes leaves about 1 cm around the image. None fills the page.
Turn on Add a password to make a PDF that asks for a password when opened.
STEP 3
Press Create PDF to show it on the right. Page through it, then save it.
Check the PDF right there. Pages and size appear below.
Save with Download. With Use in next tool, pass it straight to PDF Merge or the password tool.
If you add photos as they are, the PDF can be larger than the images combined. Here is what we got.
| Images added | Resulting PDF |
|---|---|
| One iPhone photo (HEIC, 3.17 MB) | 1 page, 4.49 MB |
| A photo (JPEG, 158.4 KB) and a screenshot (PNG, 890.6 KB) | 2 pages, 998.5 KB |
JPEG photos are added without changing quality, so if you make them smaller with Image Compression first, the PDF ends up about the same size as their total. iPhone HEIC photos are redrawn as JPEG, so the PDF was larger than the original. With Use in next tool, the compressed result is passed straight on.
