Save each file, or grab them all at once as a ZIP.
The iPhone is the scanner most people actually use. A contract is signed and photographed page by page, receipts are snapped for an expense claim, a whiteboard is captured at the end of a meeting. The photos land in the camera roll as HEIC files, and the person who needs them wants a single PDF. This page takes the HEIC files as they are and builds that PDF.
Each photo becomes one page, in the order of the list; select a photo and use the arrows beside its name to move it. The rotation the iPhone records is applied, so pages are upright. Pages start on A4 with a small margin, and US Letter or the photo's own shape are one click away.
Twenty photos in a document are free, with no account. Photos are opened by your browser, uploaded over an encrypted connection, prepared on our own servers and deleted within one hour, which matters for the kind of paperwork people photograph.
Getting the photos from the iPhone to this page
On the phone itself there is nothing to transfer. Open this page in Safari, tap the upload area, choose Photo Library and select the pictures; the finished PDF is saved to the Files app or shared straight from the download.
On a computer, the route decides the format. AirDrop to a Mac, a cable, or iCloud Photos set to download originals delivers the HEIC files; open this page in Safari there, since Chrome and Firefox cannot read them. Mail and some messaging apps convert to JPG on the way, which is equally fine: the general image-to-PDF page on this site accepts those in every browser, Windows included.
Making the document small enough to send
A HEIC photo is compact, around 2 MB at twelve megapixels, but its PDF page is a JPEG and comes out larger at the same resolution. Twenty full-size pages can reach 60 MB. Almost no paperwork needs that.
Open the Resize panel and bring the longer side down to 1600 pixels. Text on an A4 sheet stays comfortably readable, and each page falls to a few hundred kilobytes. For pure text, turn on Black and white in the Advanced tab as well: the page looks more like a scan, and the file shrinks again. A twenty-page contract then fits in an email with room to spare.
Photographing pages so the PDF looks scanned
The quality of the PDF is decided when the photos are taken. Lay each sheet flat on a darker surface, so its edges are easy to see. Hold the phone directly above it, parallel to the paper; with the camera grid switched on, the iPhone shows two small crosshairs that line up when it is level. Use daylight from the side, and move so that your own shadow and the phone's are off the page. Then crop each photo to the sheet in the editor here. Ten careful seconds a page make the difference between a document that looks official and one that looks improvised.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to convert HEIC to JPG first?
No. Safari opens each HEIC and the page places the picture into the PDF, so there is no separate step for you.
Are my pages upright?
Yes. The orientation stored by the iPhone is applied. If a page was photographed the wrong way round, select it, switch on Only this image and rotate it.
Does a Live Photo work?
Its still picture does. The short video that belongs to a Live Photo is not part of the HEIC and is not used.
Can the text in the PDF be searched?
No. The pages are pictures. To get the words out of a photographed page, use the image-to-text tool on this site.
How many photos can go into one PDF?
Twenty on the free plan and 500 on Pro.
Can I mix HEIC with other formats?
This page takes HEIC and HEIF only. For a mix of formats use the image-to-PDF page, which accepts everything.
Why does the page say my browser cannot open HEIC?
Because it has no decoder for the format. Safari on a Mac and all browsers on iPhones and iPads do; Chrome, Firefox and Edge on other systems do not. Build the PDF on the phone that took the photos, or mail them to yourself, which delivers JPG files.
