Sep 21, 20265 min read

To convert images to PDF for free, upload them to myoffice, open PDF Tools in the toolbar, choose Images to PDF, tick the images in the order you want the pages, name the output and start. myoffice builds one PDF with one image per page. JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF and WebP images are supported. You need a free account and nothing to install.

This guide covers the steps, how to get clean results from phone photos and scans, and what to do with the PDF afterwards.

How do I turn images into a PDF?

Sign in or create a free account.
Upload your images into one folder (each file up to 50 MB).
Open the PDF Tools menu in the toolbar and choose Images to PDF.
Tick the images in the order you want the pages. A number next to each ticked image shows its page position.
Type an output name and start the conversion.
Wait for the job to finish. The new PDF appears in the same folder.

The dialog lists the image files in the current folder, so put everything you want to combine in one place first.

Which image formats work?

JPG (JPEG), PNG, BMP, TIFF and WebP. Other formats, such as HEIC from some phones, should be converted to JPG or PNG first.

How do I get clean results from phone photos?

The PDF can only be as good as the images you give it:

Fill the frame with the page and keep the phone parallel to the paper, to avoid skewed edges.
Use even light. Shadows across a page look worse in a PDF than in a photo.
Photograph in page order, or name files 01, 02, 03 so they sort correctly in the folder.
Crop first if needed. Trim table edges and backgrounds in your phone's editor before uploading.
Do not over-compress. Very small, heavily compressed images look blocky at full-page size.
Flatten transparent PNGs. If an image with transparency fails to convert, save it as a JPG (or flatten it on a white background) and try again.

What happens to image quality?

Images are placed on the pages as they are, and the PDF builder avoids re-compressing them, so you do not lose quality in the conversion. The size of the PDF is roughly the total size of your images, so large photos produce a large PDF.

What can I do with the PDF afterwards?

Make it smaller. Run Compress. Since it is lossless, photos will not shrink much, so reduce image size beforehand if needed.
Make the text searchable. Images are pictures, not text. To be able to select and search the words, use OCR to create a searchable PDF.
Reorder or drop pages. Use the PDF tools to change the order or remove a page.
Protect it. Add a password before sending sensitive documents such as ID copies.
Combine with other PDFs. Merge it with existing documents.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put several images on one page?

Each image gets its own page. For a collage, arrange the images in an image editor first and convert the result.

How many images can I convert at once?

You can tick as many as you need within your storage limits (a reminder at 100 MB, blocked saves at 250 MB on the free plan). Each file can be up to 50 MB.

Will the PDF be searchable?

Not by itself. It contains pictures of pages. Use OCR if you need selectable text.

What if I only have one image?

The tool works with one image too. Tick it and convert.

Do I need an account?

Yes, a free one. The tools work on files in your storage, so you upload first.
