HEIC to PDF Converter

HEIC to PDF turns iPhone photos into a PDF in your browser, one photo per page. iPhones save pictures as HEIC, which many portals, printers and older computers will not open, so a PDF is often the easiest way to send them. Add HEIC or HEIF photos, mixed with JPG, PNG or WEBP if you like, drag them into order and rotate any that are sideways. Keep each page the size of its photo, or fit them onto A4, Letter or a custom size with a margin. Merge everything into one PDF, or make one PDF per photo. People use it to send photos of receipts, IDs and signed forms from an iPhone. The photos are decoded on your device and never uploaded.

Why HEIC to PDF Converter

HEIC, JPG and PDF compared

HEIC works well on an iPhone and is awkward almost everywhere else. A PDF bundles your photos into one file that any computer, printer or upload form can open.

Sending iPhone photos of documents as one PDF

Receipts, ID cards and signed forms photographed on an iPhone are the most common reason to convert HEIC to PDF.

  • Photograph each page straight on, in good light, filling the frame.
  • Add the photos here in reading order and rotate any that came out sideways.
  • Choose A4 with a Small margin and Fill page to trim the table around the paper.
  • Set Image quality to Medium if the portal has a size limit, then convert.

Common questions

How do I convert HEIC to PDF on an iPhone?
Open this page in Safari, tap the upload area and choose Photo Library or Browse to pick the photos. They are decoded on the phone, then tap Convert to PDF and the file is saved to Downloads in the Files app.
Can I convert several HEIC photos into one PDF?
Yes. Add all the photos, put the thumbnails in order and keep Merge all images into one PDF ticked. Each photo becomes one page of a single PDF.
Why do my iPhone photos save as HEIC?
HEIC is Apple's default camera format because it stores a photo in about half the space of a JPG. Setting Camera, Formats to Most Compatible makes future photos JPG, but this tool handles the HEIC files you already have.
Does converting HEIC to PDF lose quality?
Very little. Each photo is decoded and saved as a high-quality JPEG inside the PDF, because PDF files cannot hold HEIC data. With Image quality on Original, the pixel size stays the same as the photo.
How do I make a HEIC to PDF in A4 size for a form?
Set Page size to A4 and add a Small margin. Each photo is scaled to fit and centred, and wide photos get a landscape page when Orientation is on Auto. Choose Fill page to crop away background around a photographed document.
Why does adding a HEIC photo take a few seconds?
Browsers cannot read HEIC on their own, so a decoder is loaded the first time you add one and each photo is decoded on your device. Large photos on older phones take longest, and nothing is sent to a server while it works.
Can I make the HEIC to PDF file smaller for email?
Yes. Set Image quality to Medium or Small file before converting. Photos are resized and saved at a lower JPEG quality, which usually makes the PDF small enough to email or upload.
Does HEIC to PDF work on Windows and Android?
Yes. The decoding runs in the browser, so it works in Chrome, Edge and Firefox on Windows and Android, where HEIC photos often will not open at all.
Are Live Photos or HEIC bursts turned into several pages?
No. Only the main still image in each HEIC file is used, so a Live Photo becomes one page. To include several frames, export them as separate photos first.
