How to view two photos on one page to create a PDF in macOS

MacOS Tahoe 26.6.2, Photos 11.0 : How to view 2 photos on 1 page to make them 1 pdf. I know how to do this if I can get the 2 photos on 1 page to the Preview app. I want as pdf to easily share with a refund claim with an online retailer. Thank you.

Select both images and use file->print Play with the options - especially the image size or contact sheet - until the preview looks like what you want and hit print from there click the little pdf button at the bottom of the page

Try this:


1 - open Apple's Pages in landscape or portrait mode, whichever, fits the puotos best.

2 - add each photo to the page, adjust size and move it to where you want it.

3 - do a print to PDF of the page.


If you want text beneath each photo you can do that in Pages. If you want text on the image it's best to do that in Preview in the Markup mode. Then do a save.


open the photos in Preview using 2 windows, then use the shortcut to take a screenshot of the 2 photos:


open the screenshot in Preview, go to File > Export as PDF.

To get a pdf, you need to use File>Print, just as Keith Barkley has said.


Here, I've selected 5x7, so two 16x9 pictures will appear on the same page.

Then I chose to print as a PDF file.


In the thumbnail view in Photos, there is, as of iOS26, no way to have two pictures fill a screen. If you would like the option to have see two pictures at once, you should let Apple know here:

I periodically go there and say that I want to be able to compare two pictures at the same zoom. I mean, how can I choose the better of two pictures if I can't zoom in to both and compare!


There is evidence that feedback helps…
