Apple iPhones come at an expensive price but let me tell you it is worth every penny of it. This is because Apple focuses on the smallest of things that we don’t even think of, but we need it so badly. For example, I recently needed to upload my address proof and relationship declaration with the landlord for KYC. I had to create a PDF of two images, and that’s when I learned that you can also create a PDF on your iPhone, that too without using third-party apps or websites. Let me tell you how you can also do that.

Why you should avoid third-party apps or websites?

There are various reasons why I don’t want you to use third-party apps or websites to create PDFs.

  • The first reason is that they take up space and leave a lot of cache in your smartphone. So, why bother when you already have this feature on your smartphone?
  • Next, these providers are riddled with adware, which I don’t think anyone would like.
  • Third is the biggest concern, the Malware. So, you have to download PDFs after uploading your files and those PDFs could contain viruses.
