Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 (FE) Galerie App nutzen und Bilder in PDF umwandeln über Gallery Labs

Samsung Galaxy users can convert images into PDF files directly within the native Gallery application by enabling the “Save as PDF” feature in Gallery Labs. This functionality, available on devices running modern iterations of the One UI interface—including the Galaxy Z Flip7—requires users to manually activate the hidden experimental menu to bypass the need for third-party document conversion software.

How to activate the Save as PDF feature

To access the PDF conversion tool, users must first unlock the Gallery Labs menu. According to Samsung’s interface documentation, users should open the Gallery app, navigate to the bottom-right menu, and access “Gallery Labs.” If this option is not visible, it must be enabled through the device’s settings menu under the “About Gallery” section. Once inside Gallery Labs, locate the “One UI” header and toggle the “Save as PDF” switch to the “on” position. This allows the system to process image-to-document exports natively.

Pro Tip: Before initiating the conversion, move all target images into a single folder. The Gallery application restricts PDF creation to images residing within the same directory, meaning you cannot select files across different albums simultaneously.

Once the feature is active, navigate to the folder containing your photos. Users can select multiple images by long-pressing the first item and tapping the others. After selection, tap the “Create” button located in the bottom-right corner of the interface. According to the standard One UI workflow, the “Save as PDF” option will appear in the pop-up menu. Users can then choose the sequence of the images and confirm the export. The system also supports video files, though the resulting PDF will only display the video’s first frame as a static image.

Why native PDF conversion matters for mobile productivity

Native conversion tools reduce reliance on third-party apps, which often carry privacy risks or intrusive advertising. Data from cybersecurity firm Trend Micro suggests that “PDF converter” apps are frequent vectors for adware. By utilizing Samsung’s built-in tools, users ensure their files stay within the secure Knox-protected environment of their device. This approach mirrors the shift in mobile operating systems toward “all-in-one” utility, where manufacturers prioritize reducing the user’s need to download external software for basic document management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this feature work on all Samsung phones?

What happens to video files selected for conversion?

If you include a video in your selection, the Samsung Gallery app extracts the first frame of that video and converts it into a static image within the PDF file.
