Updated: · Agah Emre SÖZEN

Schools, employers and official forms often want a PDF, while all you have is a photo taken with your phone. You don't need a computer or a paid app to make a PDF on your phone. This guide shows how to turn photos into a PDF, scan paper cleanly and put several pages into one file.

Convert a photo to PDF in your browser

The fastest way is to open quillo.tr/jpg-to-pdf in your phone's browser. There's nothing to install and no account to create; the photos become a PDF on your phone and are uploaded nowhere.

  1. 1Open quillo.tr/jpg-to-pdf in Safari or Chrome.
  2. 2Tap Choose file and pick one or more photos from your gallery or files.
  3. 3Drag to set the order. Keep A4 as the page size for photos of documents.
  4. 4Tap Create. The PDF lands in your phone's Downloads.

Turn a screenshot into a PDF

Screenshots of receipts, tickets or conversations are usually saved as PNG. quillo.tr/png-to-pdf places PNG images on the page losslessly, so even small text stays sharp. Select several screenshots and they all become pages of the same PDF.

Scan paper into a PDF

A photo of paper on a desk often has crooked edges and shadowed corners. For a cleaner result, use a scanner. The document scanner in 's Android app finds the edges of the page, fixes the perspective and saves a searchable PDF; the same scanner is in Scan on quillo.tr with a free account.

On iPhone, the "Scan Documents" command in the Files app also saves paper as a PDF. You can then merge, compress or sign that file with 's tools.

Combine several documents into one PDF

If you need to send the front and back of an ID, a diploma and a utility bill as one file, make each a PDF and combine them at quillo.tr/merge-pdf. You can also add photos to the merge tool directly; they're converted to PDF first and then joined with the other pages.

If the PDF is too big

Phone cameras shoot at high resolution, so a PDF of just a few photos can pass 10 MB. If an upload form wants a smaller file, open the PDF at quillo.tr/compress-pdf and type a target size (for example 2 MB).
