How to Convert Photos to PDF on a Windows PC

hey everyone it's ken here from northern viking every day today i'm going to be showing you how to convert a photo to pdf on a windows pc it's really quite simple to do with software you already have on your computer so let's go ahead and dive right into it [Music] all right so here we are on my windows 11 desktop if you happen to be using windows 10 the process is nearly identical just some of the menus look slightly different now over on the left hand side here i have a jpeg image this is the image we're going to be moving over to a pdf today or converting to a pdf it's really quite simple to do using the program that is included with windows 10 and 11 called microsoft photos it should be on your computer already if it's not you can download it for free from the microsoft store so let's go ahead and double click on our photo so for myself the photos app is already set as a default so i'm going to double left click on my photo and it's going to load up and you can see it loaded up in the photos app and for many of you it'll load right into this program if it's not loading into the photos app for you let's just close this out you can find your image so mine happens to be on my desktop or you can search for it just open up your file explorer and search your computer for the image it might be in your photos or your pictures here now once you find that image what we're going to do is right click on it and in this menu that pops up you should see the option that says open with now the windows 10 menu looks slightly different but there is an option that says open with and it'll give you a little menu that pops up here and in here you should see the option that says photos go ahead and left click on photos that's going to load up the photos app to where we were before so now in microsoft photos on my windows 11 pc we're going to be looking for the print option so at the top here you'll see three little dots that say see more if i left click on that a menu is going to pop up and i have the print option right there we can go ahead and left click on print and that's going to load up the print page for us now i noticed on my windows 10 pc in the top right hand corner there is a little print icon so i didn't have the three dots i click on there's a little printer icon that you click on so you can see that my image showed up here in the preview but what we need to do up here where it says printer is currently selected as my canon printer what we want to do is left click on this drop down and you should see the option here that says microsoft print to pdf this is a free feature included with microsoft windows so go ahead and left click on that this is going to allow you to print your image to a pdf document and rather than a piece of paper so it's really quite a handy feature included here within windows now i do want to show you some of the settings here so you can get your pdf looking the way you'd like it my image you can see here is actually a 16 by nine image and i'm currently set to a letter size piece of paper here so you can see it's zoomed in a little bit or cropping off the sides of my image so if you do want to fix that there's a couple ways to fix it the first would be to change your paper size so right now i'm set to letter i could go ahead and switch this to legal and now it would show the whole image on the piece of paper so that would be the first option for fixing it now i'm going to go ahead and switch that back to letter there so it is zoomed a little bit you can also change the orientation so if your document that you're making is vertical you might want to switch this to a portrait mode it will again crop off the sides for you but maybe that works for you so that would be the second option for fixing it now going down here you can change a couple things you can change the photo size and the margins as well we're not going to go in the into that too much today but at the bottom here it says fit and the option is set to fill page so if i left click on that there is an option in here that says shrink to fit this is my favorite option for fixing this you can just go ahead and hit shrink to fit and it's going to shrink your image down so it actually fits on your page so if you're using it again in a document you can see the whole image now if that's not going to work for you and you need it to be the other direction again we can always change this back from portrait to landscape and again it's still going to show you that whole image when you have shrink to fit turned on now when you have your page looking just the way you'd like it there you can go ahead and hit print here at the bottom a print output our window is going to pop up and we can select where we'd like to save it i'm going to select the desktop you can select your different files maybe your documents or your pictures wherever you'd like it we're going to put in a file name i'm just going to call this one niagara falls you can name yours of course whatever you like you can see here it is set to pdf document at the bottom where it says save as type from there we're just going to go ahead and hit save and it's going to convert that over to a pdf for us so let's go ahead and minimize this it should be on my desktop here there it is over on the left hand side let's go ahead and open that up there it is a pdf document that you could even mark up or draw on if you like you can do that right there it's super handy to turn into a pdf document and it's really that simple to convert a photo to a pdf here in windows so if this windows photo to pdf tutorial did help you out if it did make sure to give this video a thumbs up also remember to connect with me on social media and subscribe here on youtube it's
