How to Scan to PDF (Photos to PDF)

Each uploaded image (JPG, PNG, GIF, or WEBP) is analyzed to determine its width and height; GIF and WEBP files are first converted to JPEG using PHP's GD library so every image can be embedded consistently.

The tool builds an A4 PDF page-by-page with FPDF, choosing portrait or landscape orientation automatically based on whether each photo is taller or wider than it is tall, then scales the image proportionally so it fills as much of the page as possible without cropping or distortion.

Every processed image becomes exactly one page, added to the PDF in the order the files were uploaded, so a batch of document photos becomes one continuous scanned-style PDF.

Safe & Secure

Your files are uploaded over an encrypted (SSL) connection. We don't store, read, or share the contents of your files — they're processed to generate your result and are not retained on our servers afterward.

Who Uses Scan to PDF (Photos to PDF)?

  • Turning a phone-camera photo of a physical document into a clean, properly-oriented PDF.
  • Digitizing a stack of paper receipts or forms into searchable PDF files.
  • Creating a PDF record of a signed physical document for digital storage.

Limitations to Avoid

  • Photographing a document at an angle or with uneven lighting — this reduces the quality of both the visual result and any OCR text extraction performed afterward.
  • Not cropping out background/table surface around the document, which can make the file larger and less professional-looking.

Tips for Best Results

  • Use even, indirect lighting and a flat surface for the best scan quality — avoid direct flash, which creates glare on glossy paper.
  • If you need the text searchable/selectable afterward, run OCR PDF on the result.

Privacy Commitment

We respect your privacy. All files are processed securely and are never sold, shared, or used for anything beyond generating your result.

Frequently Asked Questions

What image formats can I upload?
JPG, PNG, GIF, and WEBP are all supported. GIF and WEBP files are automatically converted to JPEG on the server before being placed into the PDF.
How many photos can I combine into one PDF?
Up to 50 images per batch, each individually limited to 20 MB, are combined into a single multi-page PDF in upload order.
Does this tool improve blurry or crooked scans?
No — it places each photo onto its own page as-is, scaled to fit; it doesn't straighten, crop, or sharpen the image. For best results, use a document-scanning camera app before uploading.
