HEIC to PDF, straight from the iPhone

How to convert HEIC to PDF

Four steps, no install, and the same result whether you brought one photo or sixty.

1. 1

   Add your HEIC photos

   Drop them on the box above, click it to browse, or paste from the clipboard with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac). Up to 60 images per run, 50 MB each. JPG, PNG, WebP and other formats can go in the same batch.

2. 2

   Arrange the page order

   Thumbnails read left to right, and that is the page order in the finished PDF. Arrows move one image at a time, Sort A→Z reads numbered filenames the way you count (IMG_2 before IMG_10), and Reverse flips the whole batch.

3. 3

   Choose the page layout

   A4 or US Letter centres each photo on a standard page with a 0, 5, 12 or 20 mm margin. Fit to photo makes the PDF page match the image instead. Leave quality on Original for the sharpest result, or pick Smaller file if the PDF has to clear an upload cap.

4. 4

   Convert and download

   Press Convert to PDF. The progress bar names each file as it is processed, then the download button shows the page count and finished size. Untick “All photos in one PDF” beforehand to get one PDF per photo, zipped together.

Why HEIC exists and why it needs converting

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert HEIC to PDF?

+

Drop the HEIC file on the box at the top of this page and press Convert to PDF — the download link appears seconds later. No account, no email, no software to install. Add more photos before converting and each one becomes a page of the same document.

What is HEIC?

+

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on iPhones and iPads since iOS 11. It uses HEIF encoding to store photos at roughly half the file size of JPEG with no visible quality loss. The catch is that many websites, email clients and Windows apps still cannot open HEIC files directly.

Does converting HEIC to PDF lose quality?

+

HEIC images are decoded and re-encoded as JPEG at quality 92 inside the PDF, which is visually indistinguishable from the original for photographs. The browser’s canvas caps re-encoding at 16 megapixels per page. For the 12 MP sensor on most iPhones, the full resolution is preserved.

Can I combine multiple HEIC files into one PDF?

+

Yes — that is the default. Add up to 60 photos, leave “All photos in one PDF” ticked, and each image becomes one page in the order the thumbnails show. Untick it instead and you get a separate PDF for every photo, delivered together as a single .zip download.

Does this work on Windows?

+

Yes. The converter runs in the browser, so it works on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook and mobile devices. HEIC decoding depends on browser support — Safari and recent versions of Chrome handle HEIC natively. On browsers without native HEIC support, install the HEIF extension for your OS and the converter will pick it up automatically.

Is there a file size or page limit?

+

60 images per run and 50 MB per image. There is no daily quota, no paid tier and no waiting in a queue — the conversion runs on your own processor, not on a remote server, so the only real ceiling is your machine’s memory.

Can I mix HEIC with other image formats?

+

Yes. JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and AVIF can all go into the same batch alongside your HEIC files. Each image becomes one page regardless of its format.

Are my HEIC files uploaded anywhere?

+

No. Every step — decoding the HEIC, laying out pages and writing the PDF — happens inside this browser tab. No file, filename or metadata leaves your device. You can verify by watching the network panel in developer tools, or by disconnecting from the internet after the page loads and converting anyway.
