From your camera roll to a PDF
Most paperwork today starts as a photo: a receipt for an expense claim, a doctor's note, a signed form, a page of homework, an ID card for an application. Whoever receives it usually wants a PDF. This page turns the photos already in your gallery into one, straight from the phone's browser, with no app to install.
On a phone, tapping the select button lets you choose photos from your gallery or, on most devices, take new ones with the camera.
Tips for a clean photo of a document
Lay the paper on a dark, flat surface so the edges stand out. Use daylight or an even light and avoid your own shadow. Hold the phone straight above the page rather than at an angle, and fill the frame with the document.
If you photograph documents often, “Scan to PDF” may suit you better. It uses the camera inside the browser, lets you drag the four corners to straighten the page, and has a black-and-white document filter that makes text crisp and the file lighter.
Crop out the background before converting if your photos show a lot of table or floor around the page. “Crop image” lets you draw the area to keep, and a tighter crop gives a cleaner page and a lighter PDF.
Orientation and order
Phone photos carry an orientation flag from the camera, and ConvertirDocs respects it, so pages don't come out sideways. Set the page orientation to automatic and each photo gets the page shape that fits it best. Drag the thumbnails to fix the order before processing: the PDF follows exactly what you see.
For a two-sided ID or a multi-page form, select every photo in one go. Each photo becomes a page of the same PDF.
Keeping the file small enough
Phone photos are large, and so is a PDF made from them. If the result is too heavy for an email or an upload form, send it to “Compress PDF” with a target size. If you'd rather start lighter, reduce the photos first with “Reduce photo size”, then convert.
Private by design
The PDF is created on your device. Photos of IDs, bank cards and medical papers aren't uploaded and nothing is stored. It's free, with no account and no watermark on the document.
