[5 Ways] How To Convert Picture To PDF On iPhone

Having your iPhone pictures in Portable Document Format (PDF) gives the pictures a better resolution and makes them easier to share. However, your iPhone doesn’t save photos in PDF format. Instead, it saves photos in JPEG, PNG, and HEIC formats so you need to convert your photos to PDF by yourself.

Most people use paid apps to convert their photos to PDF but what if I told you that this post reveals 5 easy methods to convert pictures to PDF on iPhone and iPad without making any payment? Read more on these methods below.

Way 1: Convert Picture to PDF on iPhone Using the Print Options

The print option is a quick and easy method to convert your iPhone photos to PDF. It creates a page on the PDF file for each selected photo. This way, each selected photo will be a page on the PDF file but you should know that this method doesn’t give you any customization option.

Here is a detailed guide for this method:

Step 1: Launch the Photos app on your iPhone and tap Albums.

Step 2: Select the photos you wish to convert to PDF. To do this, tap on the “Select” option in the upper-right corner and tap on the pictures.

To choose multiple pictures, tap the “Select” option. Then tap on one photo and drag over the photos you want to select.

Step 3: After selecting the photos, tap the “Share” icon at the left bottom of the screen and select “Print” from the share menu.

It may take a few seconds for the “Print” screen to be displayed especially if you selected multiple images.

Step 4: When the “Print Options” screen is displayed, you can preview thumbnails at the bottom of your iPhone screen.

Step 5: Zoom in on the preview thumbnail to turn the photos into PDF. The PDF preview page will be displayed after.

Step 6: On the PDF review page, swipe on the thumbnails to check if the file is ready to be shared. If all looks good, you can tap the “Share” icon and send the new PDF file via e-mail, text, iCloud, and the like.

Way 2: Convert Picture to PDF on iPhone Using the Apple Books App

Your iPhone “Apple Books” app can help you to convert photos to PDF format quickly.
