iPhones typically store photos in one of three formats. JPG and PNG are popular, but the third one, HEIC, is less common. Most of the time, you can easily upload files online without doing a file conversion. However, you might sometimes need to save photos to PDF. Whether it’s paperwork documentation or classwork, our seven-step guide shows you how to convert an image on your iPhone to a PDF quickly.

After selecting the Print option, a screen that looks similar to the Mac OS printing screen will appear. But instead of selecting Print in the top right corner, you will zoom into the photo at the bottom of the screen. To do this, place two fingers and spread them apart on top of the image.
5. Tap The Share Icon

After specifying the location, select Save in the top right, and your photo will now have a PDF version.
