Are My PDFs and Images Secure?
Your files are always safe when you insert images into PDFs with us. All file transfers adopt SSL connections.

We only keep them online long enough for you to have time to edit and download them!

Files lets you quickly create PDFs. However, the photo must be saved under Files. So, if you already have images here, continue with the following steps. If they are in Drive, Dropbox, One Drive, etc. you can see how to enable these third-party cloud services inside Files.
Or, to copy the pictures from Photos to Files: Select the images inside Photos → tap Share button → Save to Files.

We hope this guide helped you convert photos to PDF on your iPhone or iPad. All three methods are equally viable, but my favorite one involves using the Books app. With this method, the PDF is created quickly and safely saved there for future use.
You can also use third-party apps like PDF Expert (image to PDF conversion is a Pro feature).
