How to turn a photo into a PDF
You can turn a photo into a PDF on the phone itself, without uploading it to a converter website. iPhone and Android both have a built-in way, and a scanner app can combine several photos into one PDF.
On iPhone, with Files
- Open the photo, tap the share button and choose Save to Files.
- Open Files and find the image.
- Touch and hold the image, tap Quick Actions, then Create PDF.
On Android, with Print
- Open the photo in Google Photos or your gallery.
- Open the menu and tap Print.
- Choose Save as PDF as the printer, then save the file.
With DafScan, for several photos at once
- Open DafScan and tap the photo button next to Scan.
- Pick one photo or several. Each photo becomes a page.
- Tap Save, then Share PDF.
DafScan is free, with no ads and no account. Every scan is kept as a document on your phone and is never uploaded.
When to scan instead
Converting a photo keeps everything in it, including the table around the page and the angle it was taken at. If you still have the paper, scanning it gives a straighter, cleaner result.
