How to convert photos to a PDF on your phone

Turn camera photos or screenshots into a tidy PDF, or scan paper documents with straightened pages, without installing an app.

Quick answer

For existing photos use JPG to PDF. For paper documents use Scan to PDF: take photos, drag four corners to straighten each page, and download one PDF.

Existing photos

  1. Open JPG to PDF and choose the photos.
  2. Reorder with the arrow buttons, pick the page size and margins, and check the preview.
  3. Create the PDF.

Paper documents

  1. Open Scan to PDF and tap Take photo.
  2. Adjust the four corners so the page looks flat.
  3. Choose Colour, Grayscale or Black and white, then create the PDF.
