Combining Photos into One PDF
Forms, applications, and receipts often ask for "a single PDF". When all you have is a handful of phone photos, converting them correctly saves rejected uploads.
Try it yourself with the related tool.

Order and orientation
Arrange the images in reading order before converting, and rotate any sideways photos. Choose whether each page should match the image's shape or be a fixed paper size such as A4 or US Letter — a fixed size looks tidier and prints predictably.
Fit and margins
"Fit" scales each image to the page without cropping, leaving white margins where the shapes differ. "Fill" crops to cover the page. For documents, fit with a small margin is safest so no text is cut off.
Keep it under the upload limit
Phone photos are large. Resizing them to about 2000 pixels on the long edge and using JPEG compression keeps a ten-page PDF to a few megabytes while staying perfectly readable. Crop out the table or floor around the document first.
