Once you master the skill of turning pictures into PDFs on your iPhone, you will be able to use PDFs for office documents, school work, or any other special use that you desire. There is not just one, but several ways you can convert images into PDF using the Photos app or Files app. This is the most basic method of not just converting images into PDF, but doing it simultaneously on several of them using just the Photos app, which is available on every iPhone device.
Whether you want to convert a single photo or a group of them, so long as they are available within the Files app, you will be able to create the PDF from there. Open the Stock Photos app, and navigate to the images you would like to convert into a PDF. To convert any individual photo, just long-press on the file inside the files app you would like to convert, and then tap Make PDF.
If you would like to convert more than just one picture, tap the top-right ” Select” button, and choose which more images you would like to convert. Clicking it will let you tap the images you want to place in to be converted, choosing either one or multiple. If you wish to convert multiple photos, click the “Select” option in the upper right and then click on the “Share” button —> Save in files —> desired location.
Tap on the Share button at the bottom left, and then tap on the Save to Files option, and select where you would like the files saved. From the menu that appears, you can now choose to share the PDF with any app, or select Save to Files if you would like to save the PDF on the iPhone. You can then tap on the Share icon from that screen, and have it send the PDF either to Save in Files app, or print.
By selecting this option, the file(s) that you have selected are automatically converted into PDF and opened in Apples Books app as such. Once the operation is completed, the photo(s) you selected will be automatically converted to PDF file and automatically open in Books app. You will automatically be taken to Apples Books app, where you should see your newly created PDF file, which contains all of the photos you selected.
The photos will convert automatically, and the PDF file will show up under Library in the Files app. The first method requires using a simple gesture when printing the photo, and the second involves sharing the image with the Books app. Surprisingly, a simple gesture converts an image into PDF, at which point you can either share it to a contact, move it to a different app, or store it in local storage. Converting will save a photo or image as a PDF, which you can then store locally, share, upload to iCloud Drive, or use for any other purpose.
For instance, if you took a screenshot of a webpage, a conversation, and saved it as a PNG image file, and need to print it, you could convert your photo into a PDF first. While there are plenty of third-party apps that you can download to your iPhone, or tools on the Internet, that will save photos to PDFs, in isolation, it is easy to understand why the method described above is preferred. No matter what method you decide to use, turning images into PDFs on your iPhone is incredibly easy, and does not involve using any third-party software. While stock photography apps do not have an integrated PDF converter, there are some solid methods for getting your conversion done effectively.
Using the Files app and Print option to convert image to PDF on your iPhone is a valid method for converting more than one photo to PDF on iPhone. Whether you are looking to turn one image to PDF or convert several photos into PDF, the Files Apple app works quite well at accomplishing this task. You can even do some small editing on images that you save to PDFs within Files app, and the features for doing that are quite convenient. While you cannot actually make changes to the text of the PDF, the Files app lets you write on it and make highlights.
You can choose to attach the newly created PDF file to an email message, add it to the Notes app (if you use Notes as your sort of file manager), import the document to iBooks (for those of you using iBooks for import and management of PDFs), store it on iCloud Drive, copy the PDF to your system clipboard, and more. The two methods mentioned above can help convert images into PDF files on your iPhone, however, you will find that they will not let you select, copy, or modify text on your PDF document. If you wish to batch convert more than one photos into PDFs on your iPhone, tap on “Select”, choose all photos that you would like to convert into PDF, and tap the “Share” button, then choose “Save PDF in iBooks” option to convert more than one photos into PDFs. Start from the Files app, choose an image you would like to convert, and tap on the Share icon mentioned earlier.
Once the images are selected, tap on the triple-dot “More” button on the lower-right of your screen, and choose the “Create PDF” option from the context menu. Select the files that need to be converted, and then choose the blue circle ellipsis on the bottom right. The iPhone will handle the conversion from a photo to PDF, returning a final file that is ready for sharing or adding signatures.
You may not want to use other apps or online tools to make changes to the photo on the iPhone, as the photo or photos that are being converted may be confidential.
