How to Combine Photos into One PDF
Why Combine Photos into a PDF?
There are plenty of situations where sending a batch of loose image files is inconvenient or impractical. A single PDF keeps everything organized, maintains the correct order, and is universally viewable on every device and operating system. Instead of attaching a dozen separate photos to an email, you can merge images to PDF and share one clean file.
Here are some of the most common use cases:
- Photo albums and memories: Combine vacation or event photos into one PDF that anyone can scroll through, regardless of their device or software.
- Portfolios: Photographers, designers, and artists can present their work as a polished, self-contained document rather than a folder of loose files.
- Reports and documentation: Include annotated screenshots, product photos, or site inspection images in a single PDF that is easy to archive and reference.
- Sending multiple photos as one attachment: Email attachment limits and messaging apps make it tedious to send many images individually. One PDF solves the problem.
How to Merge Multiple Photos to One PDF for Free
Our free online converter lets you combine photos into PDF directly in your browser. There is no software to install, no account to create, and no file size restriction. Here is how it works step by step.
Step 1: Open the Converter
Visit our HEIC2PIC tool in any modern browser on your computer, tablet, or phone. The tool loads instantly and works offline once the page is ready.
Step 2: Select Your Photos
You have two ways to add files:
- Drag and drop: Select multiple photos from your file manager and drag them into the converter area.
- File picker: Click the upload area and select multiple files at once using Ctrl+Click (Windows) or Cmd+Click (Mac).
The tool accepts all common image formats including JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. That last one is especially useful if you are working with iPhone photos, since Apple devices save images in HEIC by default and many other tools cannot handle them.
Step 3: Choose PDF as the Output Format
Use the format selector to pick PDF. A new "PDF Mode" option will appear with two choices:
- Individual PDFs — creates a separate PDF for each image.
- Combine into One PDF — merges all images into a single multi-page PDF.
Select "Combine into One PDF" to merge your photos into one document. Each image will be placed on its own page, preserving its original resolution and aspect ratio.
If you are specifically converting from one format, you can also use our dedicated converters:
- HEIC to PDF for iPhone and iPad photos
- JPG to PDF for standard JPEG images
Step 4: Convert Your Files
Click the convert button and the tool will process all selected images right in your browser. It first prepares each image, then assembles them into a single PDF document. Conversion happens locally on your device, so even large batches complete quickly without waiting for server uploads or downloads.
Step 5: Download Your PDF
Once conversion is finished, download your combined PDF file. Since all images are merged into a single document, there is no need for a ZIP archive.
Works with HEIC from iPhones
One of the biggest frustrations when working with iPhone photos on a Windows PC or Android device is that HEIC files are not universally supported. Many online PDF tools reject HEIC uploads entirely. Our converter handles HEIC natively, converting your iPhone photos to PDF without any extra steps or codec installations. Simply drag your .heic files in alongside any JPGs or PNGs and the tool takes care of the rest.
Your Photos Stay Private
Most online converters require you to upload your images to a remote server for processing. That means your personal photos, sensitive documents, or client work passes through someone else's infrastructure.
Our tool is different. All conversion happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files never leave your device. There is no upload, no server-side processing, and no temporary storage on any external server. This makes it a safe choice for private, professional, or confidential images.
Tips for Best Results
- Name your files in order before converting. The tool processes files in the order you select them, so numbered filenames (001.jpg, 002.jpg, etc.) help keep your PDF pages in the right sequence.
- Use high-quality originals. The converter preserves the resolution of your source images, so starting with high-quality photos gives you a sharp PDF.
- Keep your originals. Always hold on to the original image files as a backup. The PDF is great for sharing and viewing, but individual images are more flexible for editing later.
