Picking a page size
- Same as image — each page matches its photo exactly, with no borders. Best for photos and screenshots.
- A4 — the standard paper size in Pakistan, the UK, Europe and most of the world. Best for documents you might print or submit.
- US Letter — the standard in the US and Canada.
We tested it: three phone photos into one PDF
We combined three phone photos (11.64 MB together) into a single PDF:
| Page size | PDF size | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Fit to image | 11.64 MB | 0.1 s |
| A4 | 11.64 MB | 0.1 s |
The PDF is the same size as the photos combined, because the JPGs are placed into the PDF untouched, with no quality loss. That makes it instant, but it also means a PDF of phone photos is big.
If the PDF needs to be small, compress the photos first (Balanced brought these to 78–153 KB each), or run the finished PDF through Compress PDF to 1 MB.
Common uses
- Turning phone photos of a signed form into one PDF to email back.
- Combining scans of degree certificates, CNIC and transcripts for an application.
- Sending receipts or invoices as a single document.
Tips for scanned documents
Photograph pages in good, even light from directly above, and crop out the table around the paper before converting. If the final PDF is too big for a portal, run it through the Compress PDF tool afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change the page order?
Yes. Use the up and down arrows next to each image before creating the PDF.
Does it work with iPhone HEIC photos?
Yes. HEIC photos are converted automatically as they're added to the PDF.
Is there a limit on images?
No fixed limit. Very large batches just take a little longer, since everything happens on your device.
Are my images uploaded?
No. The PDF is built in your browser.
