How to Combine Images Into One PDF

This article will demonstrate how to use Adobe Acrobat Online and the IronPDF C# library to create a PDF document from multiple photos and save the newly created PDF file to the local file system. Follow the steps below:

Step 1

Open the Adobe Acrobat Online website.

IronPDF: C# PDF Library

The IronPDF C# PDF library is a .NET library for reading, writing, and customizing PDF documents. The IronPDF C# library seeks to provide the most complete, accurate, and cross-platform source of information about PDFs. It offers a high-level API that is designed to be as intuitive as possible. The library provides access to the vast majority of features available in Adobe Acrobat, including those not provided free of charge.

The library provides methods and properties that enable you to read and write PDF files using just a few lines of code. You can convert PDFs between different versions, read text from PDFs and metadata from PDFs without extracting them, add pages to existing documents, insert images onto pages at various positions and scales, extract text from pages within documents, create a new PDF from an existing document, and more. The library also includes support for images of various bit depths and formats, including PNGs and convert multi-frame TIFFs to PDFs. You can use the library to create your own PDFs or work with other people's PDFs. The library also provides support for creating and manipulating bookmarks within PDFs, finding text within PDFs, extracting text from PDFs, extracting shapes from documents and adding them to new PDFs, splitting PDF documents into pages and merging them back together again.

This section will use the IronPDF library to create a PDF file using multiple images. Let's now examine the code example for doing this.

Code Example

// Install the IronPdf NuGet package using the command: PM> Install-Package IronPdf
using IronPdf;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Get enumerable images from a specific folder.
        var ImageFiles = Directory.EnumerateFiles(@"C:\project\assets")
                                  .Where(f => f.EndsWith(".jpg") || f.EndsWith(".jpeg"));

        // Convert the images to a PDF and save it to the specified location.
        ImageToPdfConverter.ImageToPdf(ImageFiles).SaveAs(@"C:\project\composite.pdf");

        // Note: Use PdfDocument.RasterizeToImageFiles() method 
        // to flatten a PDF into images or thumbnails if needed.
    }
}

// Install the IronPdf NuGet package using the command: PM> Install-Package IronPdf
using IronPdf;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Get enumerable images from a specific folder.
        var ImageFiles = Directory.EnumerateFiles(@"C:\project\assets")
                                  .Where(f => f.EndsWith(".jpg") || f.EndsWith(".jpeg"));

        // Convert the images to a PDF and save it to the specified location.
        ImageToPdfConverter.ImageToPdf(ImageFiles).SaveAs(@"C:\project\composite.pdf");

        // Note: Use PdfDocument.RasterizeToImageFiles() method 
        // to flatten a PDF into images or thumbnails if needed.
    }
}

' Install the IronPdf NuGet package using the command: PM> Install-Package IronPdf
Imports IronPdf
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Linq

Friend Class Program
	Shared Sub Main()
		' Get enumerable images from a specific folder.
		Dim ImageFiles = Directory.EnumerateFiles("C:\project\assets").Where(Function(f) f.EndsWith(".jpg") OrElse f.EndsWith(".jpeg"))

		' Convert the images to a PDF and save it to the specified location.
		ImageToPdfConverter.ImageToPdf(ImageFiles).SaveAs("C:\project\composite.pdf")

		' Note: Use PdfDocument.RasterizeToImageFiles() method 
		' to flatten a PDF into images or thumbnails if needed.
	End Sub
End Class

In the above code, it is very easy to convert multiple images to a PDF file with just a few lines of code. This is the power of IronPDF. You don't need to go online and log in to a website. Simply open the editor and write some code — and your PDF converter is ready to use. For more details, please visit the Image to PDF conversion examples.
