Frequently asked questions
How do I keep the images in the right order?
Rename files with numbers (01, 02, 03) before converting, or reorder the thumbnails in the tool before saving.
Why is my image PDF so big?
Phone photos are very high-resolution. Compress the PDF afterwards, or reduce image size before converting.
