The short answer

Convert one image into a one-page PDF in your browser. Check legibility and any size limit. This does not merge multiple images or add searchable text.

Try the example in WhatTheFile

Choose a clear source image

A photo of a document is still an image, even when the portal calls it a document upload. If PDF is required, WhatTheFile can place a JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC or HEIF image into a one-page PDF.

Keep the whole document visible

Use a straight, well-lit photograph with all edges and text visible. Converting it will not remove shadows, correct the content or recover blurred text. Avoid adding photo dimensions that could crop meaningful edges.

Create the PDF

Open the example below in WhatTheFile, choose your image and review Convert to PDF. Add the portal’s file-size limit if it has one. Prepare the file and read the result checks. The current workflow creates one page from one image; it does not merge a stack of photos.

Open the downloaded page

Zoom in on dates, amounts and small text. This is an image-based PDF, so it does not add searchable text or OCR. The output page follows the image proportions; do not assume it is a standard A4 scan. If a size check fails, do not submit it as compliant.

Try this example

We will open WhatTheFile and place Convert to PDF in the requirement box. You can review and change it before preparing your file.
