How to make a PDF from photos

  1. Collect the photos on your computer or phone.
  2. Open Images to PDF on A2Z Edit.
  3. Upload the photos and drag them into reading order.
  4. Generate the PDF.
  5. Compress if the camera originals made a large file.

Why it matters

Reviewers prefer one PDF attachment over a dozen image files in a thread.

Tips

  • Shoot in good light so small text survives compression.
  • Crop desk edges in an image editor before converting when possible.
  • Redact private numbers on the PDF if any photo shows more than you should share.
