About the P45

You get a P45 when you leave a job. You keep Part 1A and give Parts 2 and 3 to your new employer (or Jobcentre Plus), so they can use the right tax code from your first payday.

Issued by your previous employer. Commonly needed for starting a new job, claiming benefits, tax refunds after leaving work.

Frequently asked questions

Why send my P45 as a PDF?

You get a P45 when you leave a job. You keep Part 1A and give Parts 2 and 3 to your new employer (or Jobcentre Plus), so they can use the right tax code from your first payday. A PDF keeps it readable on any device and is what most portals and agents ask for.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The file opens inside your browser and never leaves your phone or computer – there's no upload, no account and nothing for us to store. That's why it's safe for tax forms, ID and bank documents.

Which photo formats can I turn into a PDF?

JPG, PNG and WebP photos and screenshots are supported, including photos straight from your phone gallery.

Can I take photos with my phone camera and turn them into a PDF?

Yes. On phones there is a camera button, so you can photograph each page of a document and add it to the list before converting.

Will my photos lose quality in the PDF?

Very little. Each photo is stored as a high-quality JPG, and very large phone photos are scaled to about 2480 pixels on the long side, which is still sharp enough to print on A4.

What page sizes and margins can I choose?

A4, Letter, Legal, or Fit photo, where each page is the size of its photo. You can also set Auto, Portrait or Landscape orientation and no, small or normal margins. Photos are always scaled to fit, never stretched.

How many photos can I add, and can I change their order?

There is no fixed limit; very long sets depend on your device's memory. Long-press and drag a photo to move it, and tap the cross to remove one.

Will my photos come out sideways in the PDF?

No. The orientation saved by your phone camera is respected, so photos appear the way they look in your gallery. If one is still wrong, fix that page afterwards with Rotate PDF.

Is it free? Do I need to sign up?

It is completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
