How to Convert JPG and PNG Photos to Formatted PDF Documents on Android

Transforming Camera Snaps into Official PDF Documents

Taking pictures of paper documents, bills, contracts, or handwritten study notes with your smartphone camera is quick and convenient. However, raw photo formats like JPG, PNG, or WEBP lack standardized document margins and page structure, making them unsuitable for formal email attachments or print submissions.

Converting gallery images into formatted PDF documents turns loose snapshot photos into an organized, multipage digital document.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Convert Photos to PDF on Android

With the OnePDF mobile app, converting single or multiple gallery images into a PDF document takes just a few taps:

1. Open OnePDF: Launch the OnePDF app on your Android device.
2. Select 'Image to PDF': Tap the Image to PDF converter tool card on the main dashboard.
3. Select Gallery Photos: Browse your photo albums and pick one or multiple image files (JPG, PNG, WEBP, or BMP).
4. Adjust Document Layout Settings:
   • Page Orientation: Select Portrait for vertical text pages or Landscape for wide certificates and spreadsheets.
   • Margin Presets: Choose No Margin, Small Margin, or Big Margin for a clean white border around your photos.
   • Image Cropping & Order: Reorder photos into the correct sequence and crop unnecessary background edges.
5. Export to PDF: Tap Convert to PDF. OnePDF compiles your images into a sharp, formatted PDF file instantly.

Best Practices for Capturing Document Photos with Your Phone Camera

• Ensure Even Overhead Lighting: Take photos under bright overhead natural light or desk lamps to eliminate dark shadows across paper text.
• Maintain Camera Parallelism: Hold your smartphone camera flat and directly parallel to the document paper to avoid trapezoid perspective distortion.
• Use High-Contrast Backgrounds: Place white document sheets on dark desk surfaces to make auto-cropping easier.
