Guide: Images to PDF

The scanner is in the office, the receipts are in the van — and a delivery note is photographed in three seconds. What is missing afterwards is the form: twelve separate phone pictures are not a document, they are twelve attachments in unclear order that nobody in bookkeeping can work with.

This tool turns them into a PDF. You choose the images, put them in the right order, and decide how the pages should look: A4, A5 or Letter, portrait or landscape, with a margin or without. Each image becomes a page, and out comes a file that can be sent, filed and printed like any other document.

Orientation is handled automatically on purpose: a landscape photo gets a landscape page, an upright one gets an upright page. That way a mixed stack still fits — and with receipts photographed as you go, a stack is mixed practically every time.

Typical use cases

  • Bundling receipts for bookkeeping

    A month of fuel receipts, hospitality slips and parking tickets becomes one document instead of thirty image files with meaningless names.

  • Handing over site documentation

    Photos of the work in progress, in the right order and on proper pages, read to a client as documentation rather than as a folder of pictures.

  • Returning signed pages

    A photographed, signed contract goes back as a PDF — the way it was sent out, not as a picture attached to an email.

  • Reporting a claim to an insurer

    Insurers almost always ask for one document per case. Several shots of the same damage then belong in one file, not in five separate images.

  • Standing in for a scanner on the road

    With no scanner at hand, a phone camera plus this step gives a usable result — without installing an app that uploads the pictures to somebody's cloud.

How to use it

  1. Choose the images

    Select all the shots at once. JPG, PNG and WebP are read; the images are normalised before being embedded, so mixed formats still end up in the same document.

  2. Sort the order

    From two images on, a list appears with arrows to move an entry and a cross to remove it. The order in that list is the page order in the PDF — usually the step that decides between usable and not.

  3. Choose the page size and margin

    A4 with a ten millimetre margin suits anything that will be printed or submitted. If you need the image to fill the page, choose “Same size as the image”; the shot then sets the page size and there is no margin.

  4. Weigh the quality and create

    At 80 per cent a photographed receipt stays clearly legible and the file stays manageable. Only when small print really has to be deciphered is a higher value worth it — the growth in file size is considerable.

What happens to your data

The images are read, prepared and assembled into a PDF inside the browser; no shot is transmitted or stored. That matters especially for this tool, because the typical inputs are receipts, contracts and damage photos — papers showing addresses, amounts and sometimes signatures.

Frequently asked questions

Are the images added in the order I selected them?

Initially yes, and many file pickers sort alphabetically rather than by capture time. That is what the reordering list is for — check it once before creating the PDF.

Can I put several images on one page?

No, each image becomes its own page. For a contact-sheet style overview a word processor is the better route, because captions belong there too.

What exactly does “fill the page” do?

The image is enlarged until it covers the whole page; whatever sticks out is cropped, evenly on both sides. For receipts “fully visible” is the safe choice, because nothing there may be cut off.

Can the resulting PDF be searched?

No. It contains images, not text — which is true of every PDF made from photos. If you need the content as text, text recognition is the right step beforehand.
