Want to convert a picture on your iPhone to a PDF file? Here we show you three easy ways to do it—all free.
You’re on your iPhone. You have a picture you want to convert to a PDF. What are your options?
In this article, we’re going to show you three ways to get it done.
The first method taps your iPhone’s native tools.
The second uses the more streamlined Smallpdf All-In-One PDF App.
The last option is browser-based, so you can convert in the cloud without an app.
For each option, we’ll walk you step-by-step through how to convert pictures to PDFs on your iPhone without spending a penny.
You can convert a picture to PDF using tools built right into your iPhone. It takes a few steps, but it’s a good option for one-off conversions.
Here’s how to turn a photo into a PDF on an iPhone using the Photos & Files apps:
This will create a PDF in the same location where the image is located.
The quality of the conversion is sufficient for most cases, making it a good option for one-off image conversions.
The biggest limitation of this method is the multiple steps it takes to convert your pictures. While the process isn’t difficult, it is somewhat of a workaround, so it’s not ideal if you’ll need to convert pictures to PDFs often.
If you prefer a more streamlined process—that’s also free—with a dedicated PDF conversion tool, check out this next option.
If you frequently work with PDFs on your iPhone, or if you’re looking for more advanced PDF features, the Smallpdf All-In-One PDF App might be your better option. It’s both simpler to use and more powerful than your native iPhone PDF converter.

You can test out the All-In-One PDF App for free without signing up. The free version allows you to perform one task per day using nearly all of the Smallpdf tools for free. If you need to perform multiple tasks per day, or if you want to use paid-only features like PDF OCR, you’ll need to sign up for a Pro account.
Smallpdf has been around for over 10 years and trusted by over 2.4 billion people, so you can count on best-in-class conversions.
And it’s not only for converting images to PDF. You can convert between numerous file types, as well as compress, edit, and protect PDFs. To save you from the full list of features and benefits, let's just say that if you work with a lot of PDFs, this app will save you a lot of time and headaches.
If you already have enough apps on your phone and you’re looking for a web-based method, this next option has you covered.
If the native iPhone app doesn’t quite do the trick, and you prefer not to download the Smallpdf app, you can also convert a picture to PDF on an iPhone without an app.
For this, look no further than Smallpdf’s browser-based image-to-PDF converter. Yeah, we’re biased but with good reason. It’s fast, free, and works perfectly on any iPhone. It can easily convert JPG, PNG, TIFF, and other image files to PDF. And the best part: you don’t even have to sign up or provide any personal information to use it.
