Photos in, one document out
Phones have quietly replaced scanners. You snap a receipt for an expense claim, the pages of a lease, a passport for a visa form, or your best work for a portfolio. Then the system you’re submitting to asks for one PDF, and you’re holding a pile of HEIC files.
This tool does that step for you. Drop in the photos, pick a layout and you get a single, ordered PDF that every computer, phone and upload portal can open.
Common jobs and the settings that suit them
| Job | Page size | Photos per page | Margins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expense receipts | A4 or Letter | 4 or 6 | Small |
| Signed form or contract | A4 or Letter | 1 | Medium |
| ID front and back | A4 or Letter | 2 | Medium |
| Photo portfolio | Fit to image | 1 | None |
| Contact sheet | A4 landscape | 6 | Small |
Orientation can be automatic, so tall photos get portrait pages and wide ones get landscape, or you can force one for every page.
Tips for clean-looking document PDFs
- Order matters. Pages follow the order of your files, so drop them in sequence or rename them first (01, 02, 03).
- Straighten first. A sideways photo of a form makes reviewers grumpy. Use Rotate HEIC to fix orientation before creating the PDF.
- Crop out the desk. Trimming the background with Crop HEIC makes the document fill the page.
- Watch the size limit. Many portals cap uploads at 2 to 5 MB. Full-resolution iPhone photos add up fast, so resize them to around 1920 pixels with Resize HEIC before combining.
What goes inside the PDF
Each HEIC is decoded on your device, converted to sRGB for predictable colour on screens and printers, and embedded as a JPEG at quality 85. That’s sharp enough to read small print on a receipt while keeping the file sensible. The PDF itself is assembled in the browser, so nothing is uploaded to build it.
Sensitive paperwork stays on your device
Receipts, IDs, contracts and medical forms are exactly the files you shouldn’t hand to a random upload site. Here there is no upload step at all: the decoding, layout and PDF writing all happen in your browser tab. Close the tab and it’s gone. If you’d rather print the photos than file them, see converting HEIC for printing.
