Part 2. How to Create PDF with Images Online
Another very simple way to create PDF with images is to use one of the many free online tools available. Many of them are highly effective when it comes to converting images to PDF, but only one can guarantee success and efficiency. Smallpdf is an online PDF management tool that allows users to convert documents to PDF and vice versa. We recommend Smallpdf mostly because it is very easy to use and unlike most other online tools, it retains the formatting and quality of the original document.
Here's a simple tutorial sharing with you how to use Smallpdf to create PDF from images:
Step 1. To begin the process, go to the official website to access the online conversion tool. Once here, you can choose to drag and drop the image file you want to convert to PDF. You can also choose a file from Dropbox or Google Drive since Smallpdf easily integrates with both.
Step 2. Once the image file has been uploaded to SmallPDF, take a moment to set the paper size you need by clicking on the dropdown arrows next to "A4" as well as the margin and the orientation by clicking on the dropdown arrows next to "Auto." Click "Create PDF Now" to begin the conversion process.
Step 3. Wait while the program creates a PDF file from the image. Once the process is complete, you can download the file and add it to Dropbox or Google Drive.
Part 3. How to Create PDF from Images in Windows
If you are using Windows 10, you can easily use the Windows system, especially the print function to make a PDF document from multiple images. This process is simple and free and above all, you will not need any additional programs to complete the process. This simple tutorial will show you how you can combine multiple images in Windows to create a PDF file.
Step 1. To begin, locate the images you want to combine, either using File Explorer or on your desktop. Once you have the location of these images, select all the images you need (you can do that by clicking on the first image, holding down the shift key on your keyboard and then clicking on the last image) and right-click to select "Print."
Step 2. This will open the "print pictures" window. Here, select the "Microsoft Print to PDF" option from the "Printer" dropdown menu. You can also choose other settings, including the desired paper size and orientation of the document.
Here you can also check the "Fit picture to frame" checkbox. This will scale up the images and make sure that they completely fit the paper size dimensions. However, it is important to note that this may interfere with the image's resolution or even cut off certain portions of the image if it doesn't have the same aspect ratio as the paper size.
Step 3. When all your specifications are as you desire, click "Print." Instead of printing the images, Windows will create a single PDF document from the selected images and ask you to choose a location to save the newly created PDF file. Choose an appropriate location to save the file and then click on "Save" to complete the process. You can now navigate to the folder and open the PDF. You will notice that Windows has successful created a single PDF file from the selected images. It is also worth noting that this print to PDF feature in Windows is accessible on nearly all applications. This means that you can convert nearly all types of files to PDF, including all Microsoft Office files such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint. It will however not be effective in helping you create or edit PDF documents.
Write in the end: For that, you might want to consider using PDFelement. It is the ideal tool when you need to not just create PDFs from images but also edit the resultant PDF. Its features, as described above, make it easy for you to manage any aspect of the PDF document in a very simple way. But if you need to convert just a single image to PDF, SmallPDF and Microsoft's print function can be very helpful to you. We hope the tutorial above has been useful in helping you decide on the best way to create PDFs from images.
