Handwritten homework, maths working, worksheets and lab notes often have to be handed in as one PDF. This page opens the converter set up for that — A4, portrait, small margins — with tips for photos a marker can actually read.

A marker who cannot read your working cannot give you the marks. Put the page on a plain, dark surface, in daylight or under an even light, and hold the phone straight above it so the page is a rectangle, not a trapezium. Fill most of the frame with the page and tap to focus on the writing before you take the photo.
Avoid your own shadow by standing with the light in front of you, not behind. Turn off the flash if it makes a bright spot on shiny paper. Check each photo once at full size — a blurry page is much easier to retake now than after the deadline.
Number your pages before you photograph them, then take the photos in that order — most galleries keep the order you took them in, so they arrive in the tool already sorted. If a page is out of place, drag it, or use the up and down arrows, before you create the PDF. Remove any photo you picked by mistake with ✕.
If the assignment has a typed part as well, create the photo PDF here and merge it with the typed PDF, with the cover sheet first.
Most courses print or annotate submissions on A4, so A4 pages print at the right size and markers can write comments in the margin. Portrait matches handwritten pages; small margins keep your writing large without touching the edge. These options are already set on this page, and you can change them in the boxes above the Create PDF button if your course asks for Letter or no margins.
Photos are turned the right way up automatically from the phone’s orientation tag, and each photo is fitted onto its page without being stretched or cropped.
Many courses want a specific file name, such as student number, course code and assignment number — for example 12345678_MATH101_A2.pdf. Following it helps your work reach the right place, especially when hundreds of files are downloaded at once. If there is no rule, use your name and the assignment title, without special characters.
Phone photos are large, so a PDF of ten photographed pages can be 20 MB or more. Photos are scaled to 3,000 pixels on the long side, which keeps the PDF reasonable, but some portals still allow less. If yours does, compress the PDF to the upload limit — Light compression keeps handwriting sharp.
Open the PDF and scroll through every page: right order, nothing missing, every page readable, no stray photos of your desk. Check the page count against your work. No upload, no waiting — your file is processed on your device.
How do I submit handwritten homework as one PDF?
Photograph each page, choose all the photos here, put them in order and click Create PDF — you get one A4 PDF with one page per photo, ready to upload.
Why A4 portrait with small margins?
Most courses print or annotate submissions on A4. Portrait fits handwritten pages, and small margins keep your writing large while leaving room for comments. You can change all three options.
How do I make my photos readable?
Shoot from straight above in even light, fill the frame with the page, focus on the writing and avoid shadows and flash glare. Check each photo at full size before you convert.
My PDF is too big to upload. What now?
Compress it with a target size equal to the portal’s limit. Light compression keeps handwriting sharp; check the result before you submit.
Can I do this on my phone?
Yes. Open this page in your phone’s browser, choose the photos from your gallery, order them and create the PDF. No upload, no waiting — your file is processed on your device.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. No upload, no waiting — your file is processed on your device.
