Combine photos into one PDF
Select the images in Finder, right-click, and choose Quick Actions → Create PDF — they become one PDF in the order selected. From Terminal, sips turns each image into a PDF page and the built-in join tool stitches them together.
Without Terminal
- Select the images in Finder, in the order you want.
- Right-click → Quick Actions → Create PDF.
- Rename the new PDF that appears beside them.
In one command
Turn each image into a one-page PDF:
for f in *.jpg; do sips -s format pdf "$f" --out "${f%.*}.pdf"; done
Join the pages into one file:
"/System/Library/Automator/Combine PDF Pages.action/Contents/MacOS/join" -o photos.pdf *.pdf
The join step also picks up any other PDF in the folder — run it in a folder that holds only these pages.
