Receipts, class handouts, and handwritten notes photographed with an iPhone can be combined in Safari without transferring them to a computer or creating an account.
Four simple steps
- 1
Open Images to PDF in Safari and tap Choose files.
- 2
Select the required images from Photos or Files, including HEIC photos.
- 3
Press and drag cards into order, rotate if needed, and choose page settings.
- 4
Create the PDF and save it through the share sheet or Files app.
Tips for the best result
- For very large batches, use smaller groups to avoid Safari memory limits.
- Keep Safari active while the document is being processed.
- HEIC and HEIF are supported; check each preview for the correct orientation.
Why the browser beats an app here
Many converter apps in the App Store push subscriptions or heavy ads. PDF Tool runs in Safari with no fee and no account, and photos are never sent to a server — safe even for receipts and ID photos.
It also uses no storage space, so there is nothing to uninstall if you only need it occasionally.
HEIC works directly
Default iPhone settings often save photos as HEIC or HEIF, and those files can be selected directly. There is no need to switch Camera to Most Compatible or export every photo as JPEG first.
Where native browser decoding is unavailable, the converter is lazy-loaded and still runs entirely on your device.
The same steps work on Android and iPad
This is not iPhone-only: Chrome on Android and Safari on iPad combine photos into a PDF the same way. Only the storage location differs (Files app vs. Downloads).
