Create PDF

Build new PDFs from scratch, from your phone camera or from ready-made templates such as job applications and QR codes.

Create PDF tools make a new PDF from scratch without Word or Acrobat: a typed document, a scan from your phone camera, a printable QR code or a complete job application pack. All four work in your browser, so what you type, photograph or attach stays on your device.

Create PDF builds a document from blocks: headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, images, dividers and page breaks, with a live preview, four page sizes and optional page numbers. Fonts are embedded, so the file looks the same everywhere and the text stays selectable. Nothing you type is stored, so download the PDF before you close the page.

Camera to PDF turns a phone or laptop webcam into a scanner. Capture each page, rotate it in 90-degree steps, crop it, then pick a Document, Greyscale, Black and white or Original look and save everything as one PDF. There is no automatic edge detection, so hold the camera square to the page in good light. Pages are saved as images, so run the result through OCR if you need searchable text. It suits receipts, signed forms and ID copies you would rather not upload.

QR Code Generator makes static codes for links, text, email, phone numbers, SMS, Wi-Fi, contact cards and map locations, with custom colours and an optional logo. Each code downloads as PNG, SVG and a print-ready PDF, either centred on an A4 page or as a label between 20 and 180 mm. Static codes hold your data directly, so they never expire and nothing tracks the scans.

PDF Job Application assembles a cover page, contents page, cover letter, CV and certificates into one numbered PDF, ready to email or upload. It accepts PDFs, Word .docx files and JPG, PNG or WebP images; old .doc files need saving as .docx or PDF first. Job seekers, small businesses and teachers making handouts use this group most.

Common questions about create pdf

Can I make a PDF on my phone?

Yes. Every tool in this group works in mobile browsers. Camera to PDF uses your phone's camera to scan pages, while Create PDF and QR Code Generator work with the on-screen keyboard. Download the finished file to your phone or share it from there.

Is text in a scanned PDF searchable?

Not straight away. Camera to PDF saves each page as an image, so there is no text layer to search. Run the scan through the OCR tool in the Optimize & Repair PDF group to make the words searchable and copyable.

Do the QR codes stop working after a while?

No. QR Code Generator makes static codes that store your link or details directly, with no redirect or tracking service in between. They keep working for as long as the link, phone number or Wi-Fi details inside them stay valid.

Which QR code format is best for printing?

Use the SVG or the PDF. Both are vector files, so the code stays sharp at any size. The PDF can be an A4 page with the code centred, or a label cut to an exact size between 20 and 180 mm. Test a code with two phones before a large print run.

Will my Word CV keep its design in a job application PDF?

Not exactly. Word files are converted in the browser, which keeps headings, paragraphs, lists, tables and images but uses a standard font and simplifies columns and text boxes. For a designed CV, save it as a PDF from Word first and add that file to PDF Job Application.
