Working With PDFs — Tips & Best Practices

When to use PDF, how to pick an export format, and how to scan paper documents straight to PDF.

1

When to Convert Images to PDF

PDF is the universal document format — it looks identical on every device, can't be accidentally edited, and bundles many pages into a single file. That makes it the right choice whenever you're submitting or sharing rather than displaying on a screen.

Convert images to PDF when a portal or form requires PDF uploads, when you need to combine several photos (receipts, certificates, ID scans) into one file, or when you're sending documents that should print at a consistent size. For posting on the web or social media, keep images as JPG, PNG, or WebP instead — PDF isn't a display format.

All conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server, so even sensitive documents like IDs and contracts stay private on your device.

Extracting Images From a PDF — Choosing the Right Format

When you split a PDF back into images, each page becomes its own image file. The format you export to determines file size and quality.

Use JPG for pages that are mostly photos or scans — it produces the smallest files and is accepted everywhere. Use PNG when pages contain sharp text, line art, or screenshots that must stay crisp, or when you need transparency. Use WebP when the images are headed for the web and you want the smallest possible size at high quality.

Everything happens locally in your browser — the PDF is never uploaded, and you get a ZIP of the extracted images to download.

Scanning Physical Documents Straight to PDF

You don't need a hardware scanner to digitize paper. The Scan Document tool uses your camera (or an uploaded photo) with automatic edge detection and perspective correction to turn a phone snapshot into a clean, document-style scan.

Capture multiple pages in sequence and export them all as a single multi-page PDF — ideal for contracts, forms, and certificates. For ID and business cards specifically, use Merge ID Card to scan both sides and combine them into one PDF in the correct orientation.

Because processing is on-device, sensitive documents never leave your phone or computer.

  1. Open the Scan Document tool and allow camera access (or upload a photo)
  2. Position the page — edges are detected and cropped automatically
  3. Capture each additional page you want in the document
  4. Review and reorder pages if needed
  5. Export as a single multi-page PDF and download

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about image resizing

Are my PDFs and images uploaded to a server?

No. Every PDF tool here runs entirely in your browser using local processing. Your files never leave your device — there's no upload, no account, and no storage on our side. This makes it safe to work with sensitive documents like IDs, contracts, and financial records.

Can I combine multiple images into a single PDF?

Yes. Upload several JPG, PNG, or WebP images and the Image to PDF tool combines them into one multi-page PDF in the order you arrange them. This is the easiest way to bundle receipts, certificates, or document photos into a single file for submission.

What image formats can I convert to and from PDF?

You can convert JPG, PNG, and WebP images to PDF, and extract PDF pages back into JPG, PNG, or WebP images. Use the direct converters (such as JPG to PDF or PDF to JPG) to jump straight to the exact conversion you need.

How do I scan a paper document into a PDF?

Use the Scan Document tool. It uses your camera (or an uploaded photo) with automatic edge detection and perspective correction to produce a clean scan, then lets you capture multiple pages and export them as a single multi-page PDF. For ID and business cards, the Merge ID Card tool scans both sides into one PDF.

Do I need to install software or create an account?

No. All PDF tools are browser-based — open the tool, add your files, and download the result. No software, no signup, no watermarks, and no file size limits.
