## How photos become a PDF

Add the photos in the order you want, choose one size for the whole PDF, and download the file. Work stays in this browser.

1. **Add photos.** Choose JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, or AVIF photos. Use the arrows to change the page order.
2. **Choose a PDF size.** Enter a limit in MB or KB for the whole file. A 2 MB visa upload is a common example; stay a little under the form’s maximum.
3. **Save the PDF.** Check that faces or stamps are still clear, then download the PDF and upload that copy.

## Frequently asked questions

### Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. Your browser builds the PDF on this device. There is no account or payment wall.

### Is the limit for each photo or the whole PDF?

The whole PDF. A 2 MB cap means the downloaded file should be at most 2 MB. Every page uses the same JPEG quality and scale.

### Can I keep PNG transparency?

No. Pages are JPEG, so transparent areas become white.

### Does this open HEIC from iPhones?

No. Export or share the photo as JPEG or PNG first, then add that file.

### I already have a PDF. What should I use?

Use the PDF compressor to shrink an existing file. Use this page when you are starting from photos.

- The PDF pages are JPEGs. Transparent areas become white, and animated GIFs keep only the first frame.
- Files never leave this device.
