When to combine images into a PDF

A single PDF is easier to email, upload, print and archive than a pile of separate images. It is common for scanned forms, receipts, ID copies, portfolios and multi-page notes photographed with a phone.

Prepare your images first

  • Photograph or scan on a flat, well-lit surface and keep pages upright.
  • Crop edges so the page fills the frame.
  • Remove blurry duplicates and put files in reading order.
  • If the final file must stay small, resize or compress large photos first.

Convert with Serpgy

  1. Open the Images to PDF Converter.
  2. Add your images.
  3. Arrange them in the right order.
  4. Choose the page size that matches how you will use the file, such as A4 or Letter.
  5. Create the PDF and download it.

Choosing page size

A4 (210 x 297 mm) is standard in most of the world and Letter (8.5 x 11 in) in the United States and Canada. Match the size to where the document will be printed or submitted, so nothing gets scaled or cropped unexpectedly.

Keep the file size under control

  • Very large phone photos can produce a PDF of many megabytes.
  • Resizing images to a sensible width before combining often shrinks the file greatly.
  • Check any upload limit before you send.

Files are processed in your browser and are not uploaded by Serpgy. That makes it a reasonable choice for personal documents, but always check the finished PDF before sharing it.
