I have a JPG photo on my phone that I need to submit as a PDF for an online form, but no clue how to change the format. Any easy way?

I had the same problem when sending photos with my contracts. On iPhone, open the photo, tap Share, choose Print, pinch out on the preview, then tap Share and save it as a PDF; on Android, use Print and select “Save as PDF.”

If you’re on an iPhone, open the photo, tap share, then print, then pinch out on the preview and it’ll show as a PDF you can save. On Android, printing to “Save as PDF” works the same way. What phone do you have?

You can do this directly from your phone’s photo gallery without extra software.

1. Open the photo and tap Share (or the menu icon).
2. Select Print.
3. Choose Save as PDF as the printer option and save the file.

Simplest thing first: on most phones you can open the photo, tap Share or Print, then choose Save as PDF. On iPhone, tap Print in the share menu and pinch out on the preview to save it to Files. If that fails, drop the JPG into Word or Google Docs and export as PDF. Keep a backup of the original photo just in case.

I’d email that jpg to myself first so I can work on a computer. Then I drop it into PDFcap and convert to pdf, that’s the simplest I’ve found.  
Skip the phone apps that force you to make an account.  
Not sure if it’s the same on Mac.

If you’re on a phone, try sharing or printing the photo and choosing “Save as PDF” from the print screen. On iPhone, the Files app can also save a photo as a PDF through the Share menu.

Check the form’s size limit afterward, since phone photos can make a surprisingly large PDF.

Had the same thing with a receipt recently. On Android, open the JPG, choose “Print,” then select “Save as PDF” instead of a printer. On iPhone, choose Share, Print, then spread two fingers on the preview to open it as a PDF and save it to Files. Open the saved PDF once before submitting to make sure the photo is clear and upright.

what phone are you on? on iphone share the photo to print and pinch out on the preview to save it as pdf, on android the print menu usually has a save as pdf option too. or just upload it to ilovepdf in the browser and convert, takes a minute.

@distracted_hunter When I had to upload my ID for a submission portal, my phone just froze. I had to email the picture to my old laptop to fix it. I just opened the file and used the regular print to PDF option. Using PDFcap like you said works fine as well. Doing it on a computer is just less frustrating.

@orla_ward honestly working on a computer is just so much faster. i always email my supplier invoices to myself and use the default print to pdf thing on windows. using pdfcap like you mentioned is decent too.
