Save photos as PDF on iPhone and iPad using the Files app

You can rapidly make PDFs using Files. The image must be stored under Files, however. Therefore, if you already have photographs here, just go on to the next stage. You may see instructions for enabling these external cloud storage services within Files if they are in Drive, Dropbox, One Drive, etc.

Alternatively, to transfer the images from Photos to Files: Choose the pictures you want to save from Photos, then touch the Share button.

We hope that this advice enabled you to use your iPhone or iPad to convert images to PDF. All three approaches are equally effective, but I like the one that utilises the Books app. By using this technique, the PDF is promptly prepared and securely preserved there for later use.

Also available are third-party applications like PDF Expert (image to PDF conversion is a Pro feature).
