How to turn photos into a PDF on iPhone
Use Images to PDF in PDF Tools: choose pictures from Photos or Files, or take new photos, then crop, auto-trim and arrange them before saving one PDF. Processing stays on your iPhone, with no account or upload.
Make a PDF from photos in five steps
- Open Images to PDF
Start PDF Tools and choose Images to PDF from the home screen.
- Add your images
Choose from Photos or Files, or take a new photo with the camera. Only the items you select are read.
- Clean up each image
Crop by hand when you need precise framing, or use auto-trim to remove a blank outer border.
- Set the page layout
Choose A4 or Letter and place 1, 2 or 4 images on each page. Reorder the images before creating the PDF.
- Create, save or share
Generate the PDF, check the result, then save it through Files or share it with the iOS share sheet.
A practical layout, without overwriting your originals
Free use and page choices
The free path accepts up to 10 input images or scanned pages per PDF, with no watermark. That count is based on input images whether you place 1, 2 or 4 on each output page. Pro raises the limit.
Your source images stay unchanged
Crop and layout choices apply to the new PDF. PDF Tools reads the selected images and writes a separate result; it does not replace your photos or image files.
When the iPhone Print method is enough
For a quick, simple conversion, iOS can create a PDF through the system Print preview without another app. That route may be all you need for a few already-cropped pictures.
When PDF Tools is more useful
Use PDF Tools when you want image-by-image cropping, automatic blank-border trimming, a deliberate A4 or Letter layout, or 2-up and 4-up pages before saving.
Local processing, with a focused feature set
Your pictures are not uploaded
Once they are available on your device, images are processed locally. PDF Tools has no ads or analytics SDKs and does not require an account. Store purchases are handled by Apple.
What this tool does not do
Images to PDF creates a PDF from pictures; it does not run OCR, turn photographed words into editable text, edit text already inside a PDF, or fill PDF forms.
