Someone always wants a PDF. The insurance company, the landlord, the school office, the visa portal — a photo of the document is not enough; it must arrive as a PDF attachment. The conversion takes seconds once you know where to do it.
Photo to PDF in four taps
- Open HEIC,JPEG,PDF Media Converter and select the photo — or several. Receipts, paper documents, whiteboards, screenshots all work.
- Choose PDF as the output format.
- Pick where the file should go: Files is usually right for documents, or a Google Drive folder if it needs to reach your computer.
- Tap Convert. The PDF is ready to attach, upload, or AirDrop.
Input format does not matter — HEIC straight from the camera, JPG, PNG, and the rest all convert the same way. No need to convert to JPG first.
Getting a clean result
- Shoot documents straight-on in even light. The PDF preserves the photo as-is; a skewed photo is a skewed PDF.
- Mind the quality setting. For text documents, higher quality keeps small print crisp. For a quick receipt, lower is fine and the file stays email-friendly.
- Strip metadata for sensitive documents. Enable Strip GPS in the same pass so the PDF of your lease application does not embed where it was photographed.
Photo of text vs. text you can use
A PDF made from a photo is still a picture — you cannot select or search the text inside it. If what you actually need is the words (to paste an address, to edit a paragraph), convert to Text instead of PDF and the app extracts the writing it recognizes. The text-extraction workflow has its own guide below.
On the free tier, PDF conversion is available 3 times per day — enough for the occasional form. Premium removes the limit.
