How to Combine Multiple Images Into One PDF Free (Any Device)

May 2026 · 5 min read · Last updated: May 2026

Combining photos or images into a single PDF is useful in many situations. A portfolio looks more professional as one PDF than a folder of images. Scanned receipts are easier to submit as one document. Photo evidence for an insurance claim needs to be in a specific file format for upload.

Here are five free ways to combine multiple images into a single PDF, with specific instructions for each device.

When You Need to Combine Images Into PDF

Combine images into PDF right now in your browser

Image to PDF Free →

JPG, PNG, WebP supported. Drag to reorder pages.

Method 1: Browser-Based Tool (Any Device, No Upload)

Windows / Mac / Android / iPhone

1 Use our free Image to PDF tool

Best for: Any device, multiple images, setting page order, complete privacy

  1. Go to IWantFreePDFTools.com/tools/image-to-pdf.html
  2. Drop multiple images onto the drop zone, or click to browse and select them all at once
  3. Thumbnails appear in a list showing each image and its filename
  4. Drag thumbnails up or down to set the page order in the final PDF
  5. Click Add more images if you need to add further files to the set
  6. Choose page size (A4 is standard internationally, Fit to image for variable page sizes)
  7. Click Create PDF and then download the result

Supported formats: JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF. You can mix formats freely in the same PDF. Everything runs in your browser, so no file is ever uploaded.

On iPhone or Android, tap the drop zone instead of dragging. Your camera roll opens for selection. You can pick multiple photos at once on both platforms.

Method 2: Windows Photos App

Windows

2 Print selected images to PDF

Best for: Windows users with a small set of images

  1. Open File Explorer and navigate to your images
  2. Select all the images you want to combine (hold Ctrl and click each one)
  3. Right-click the selection and choose Print
  4. In the print dialog, set the printer to Microsoft Print to PDF
  5. Choose your layout: one photo per page, or multiple per page
  6. Click Print and choose a save location

Windows prints files in alphabetical order by filename, not by selection order. If the sequence matters, rename your images with numbered prefixes (01_photo.jpg, 02_photo.jpg) before selecting. The print-to-PDF method re-renders images, so very small text in images may appear slightly softer.

Method 3: Mac Preview

Mac

3 Open all images in Preview, export as PDF

Best for: Mac users, fastest option on Mac

  1. Select all the image files you want to combine in Finder
  2. Right-click and choose Open With, then Preview
  3. All images open in one Preview window with a thumbnail sidebar
  4. Drag the thumbnails to reorder if needed
  5. Go to File and select Print
  6. Click the PDF dropdown at the bottom left and select Save as PDF
  7. Name the file and save

This is the fastest method on Mac and preserves image quality well. For one image per page with clean margins, this works better than the browser method if you need specific print sizing.

Method 4: iPhone Photos App

iPhone / iPad

4 Use the Share to Print trick on iPhone

Best for: iPhone users who want to stay in the Photos app

  1. Open the Photos app
  2. Tap Select in the top right
  3. Tap each photo you want to include (a blue check mark appears on each)
  4. Tap the Share button (the box with an arrow pointing up)
  5. Scroll down in the share sheet and tap Print
  6. On the print preview screen, pinch outward with two fingers on the preview image
  7. This opens the PDF preview full-screen
  8. Tap the Share button in the top right of that screen
  9. Tap Save to Files to save the multi-page PDF to your device

The pinch gesture is the key step most people miss. Without it, you are in the print dialog, not the PDF preview. The order of pages follows the order you selected the photos.

Method 5: Android with Google Photos

Android

5 Print to PDF from Google Photos

Best for: Android users, quick multi-photo PDF

  1. Open Google Photos
  2. Long-press the first photo to start multi-select mode
  3. Tap each additional photo you want to include
  4. Tap the three-dot menu and select Print
  5. Set the printer to Save as PDF
  6. Tap the PDF settings icon to choose paper size and layout
  7. Tap Save and select a folder on your device

On Android, each photo becomes one page. The order follows the order you selected them. If your phone's gallery app does not have a print option, the browser-based method (Method 1) is the best alternative and works on any Android device.
