How to convert your photo to PDF — step by step
Method 1: Using our free Image to PDF tool (recommended)
- Go to PDF Tools → Image to PDF and click the "Image to PDF" tab
- Click the upload area or tap it on mobile — select your photo(s) from your phone gallery
- You can upload multiple images at once — they appear as thumbnails in order
- Drag to reorder if needed (e.g. front of citizenship → back of citizenship)
- Select paper size: A4 works for most government submissions
- Click "Convert to PDF"
- The PDF downloads automatically — no email required, no account, no watermark
All processing happens in your phone or computer's browser. Your photos are never sent to any server.
Method 2: Using your phone's built-in tools
On Android (Google Photos):
- Select the photos
- Tap the three-dot menu → Print
- Change the printer to "Save as PDF"
- Save
On iPhone:
- Open the photo in Photos app
- Tap Share → Print
- Pinch outward on the print preview thumbnail
- A PDF preview appears — tap Share → Save to Files
These methods work but give less control over page layout and image quality compared to the dedicated converter.
How to photograph Nepal government documents properly for scanning
A blurry or dark photo will look even worse as a PDF. Follow these tips for bank-quality scans from your phone:
Lighting: Place the document on a flat surface in bright natural light near a window. Avoid direct sunlight (causes glare on laminated documents). Never use flash — it creates white spots.
Angle: Hold your phone directly above the document (top-down, not at an angle). Angle shots cause keystone distortion where the sides look unequal.
Nepali citizenship specifically: The front has embossed text and the back has the barcode. Photograph both sides separately, then combine them into one PDF.
Lalpurja: Land certificates are often large and worn. Photograph in sections if needed, then crop and combine.
Distance: Leave a small border of the background visible around the document — this makes it easier to see the full document is captured.
File size requirements for common Nepal portals
| Portal | Max PDF size | Tips |
|---|---|---|
| Loksewa Aayog online application | 500 KB | Compress images before converting |
| University admissions (TU, KU, etc.) | 1–2 MB | Standard A4, medium quality |
| NRB job applications | 500 KB | Use grayscale if colour not needed |
| CDSC/Demat opening | 1 MB | Keep colour for photo ID |
| IRD tax portal | 2 MB | Standard works fine |
If your PDF is too large after conversion, use the Image Compressor to reduce each photo before converting, then redo the PDF conversion.
Combining multiple documents into one PDF
For applications that ask for "all documents in one PDF" (common for scholarships, job applications, university admissions):
- Go to PDF Tools → Merge PDFs tab
- Upload: your image-to-PDF files + any existing PDF documents
- Reorder using drag handles: typically — application form, citizenship, marksheets, character certificate, photo
- Click "Merge X PDFs"
- One combined PDF downloads
