How to convert picture to pdf on ipad

Ever want to save your photos as PDFs to create an album or to ensure that they aren’t lost? Your iPhone and iPad allow you to do so with just a few short taps. You can also make minor edits to the images that you have saved as PDFs in the Files app, and the features to do so are pretty handy.

Let’s take a look at how to save and edit photos as PDFs on an iPhone or iPad.

Save Photos as a PDF From the Share Button

Saving your photos as PDFs is an easy, two-step process. Before you begin, make sure that you have the free Files app installed on your device. Here are the steps to save a photo in the form of a PDF:

1. Open Photos and open the image you want to save as a PDF.
2. Tap on the Share button in the bottom corner of your screen.
3. Scroll down and select Save to Files.
4. Choose your destination and press Save.

2 Images

Select the right-facing arrow next to the words Select Photos.

Choose Share from the results.

You’ll now see a Convert to PDF icon on the iPhone Home screen.

Running the Shortcut

Now it’s time to run the created Shortcut to convert images to PDF on your mobile device.

1. Tap on the Convert to PDF icon on the Home screen, which brings up the Photos app.
2. Choose the photos(s) to convert.
3. Select Add at the top right.
4. Choose a selection from the available options in the pop-up menu. In the example below, we want to covert three images, so we should select Show All 3 or  Always Allow.
5. Next, tap Save to Files.
6. Choose the location to send your newly created PDF. You can also use the share sheet and send the PDFs via AirDrop, Messages, and Mail.

Using Other Shortcuts on iPhone

Some Apple Shortcuts run best as a widget, which you activate directly through the app or from your device’s notifications. Others are ideally suited for use on an Apple Watch. To use a Shortcut using your voice, you’ll be asked during the install process to record a phase. Then, moving forward, you activate the Shortcut by saying, “Hey Siri,” followed by the phrase.

Most Shortcuts are found directly in the Gallery section of the Shortcuts app. You can also install Shortcuts by tapping a provided link from a supported device.  Once you’ve created a Shortcut, it becomes accessible across all of your supported devices.

You’ll find links for every recommended Shortcut below. Tap Get Shortcut for the ones you want to get started, then tap Add Shortcut or Add Untrusted Shortcut, depending on whether a third party created the Shortcut.

Changing Images on iPhone

The steps above should help you convert images to PDFs using the Shortcuts app on iOS and iPadOS. Once you’ve created the Shortcut, performing the task is simple and can be completed in just a few clicks.
