HEIC to PDF

About converting HEIC to PDF

iPhones save photos as HEIC files. They look great and take little space — but many websites, offices and Windows PCs cannot open them. And when someone asks for a document, they usually want a PDF.

This tool turns your HEIC photos into one PDF. Each photo becomes one page, in the order you add them. You do not need to convert them to JPG first, and you do not need an app.

Everything happens in your browser. Your photos are never uploaded.

Features

• HEIC and HEIF — straight from your iPhone or iPad
• Many photos at once — each photo becomes one page
• Your order — the list is the page order
• Mix with JPG and PNG — all in the same PDF
• Page fits the photo — no cropping, no extra border
• Private — nothing is uploaded; your photos stay on your device

What people convert

• Photos of documents taken with an iPhone — a contract, a form, a letter
• Receipts for an expense claim, in one file
• ID documents — passport, licence, residence card
• Homework pages that must be handed in as one PDF
• Photos of a whiteboard after class or a meeting

Getting HEIC files off an iPhone

• AirDrop to a Mac or iCloud Photos on the web keeps the HEIC files.
• USB cable to Windows: the photos may arrive as HEIC files in the DCIM folder.
• On the iPhone itself: open this page in Safari, tap the upload box and pick photos from your library. iPhones often hand Safari a JPG copy — that works just as well.
• To make the iPhone save JPG from now on: Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible.

Good to know

• HEIC photos take a moment each to turn into images — a big batch can take a minute. Keep the tab open.
• A photo with many frames (Live Photo) gives the first frame.
• The PDF holds the photos as pictures. To get text out, use Image to Text.
• A PDF of many full-size photos can be large. Shrink it with Compress PDF.

• Add as many as you like — each one becomes a page
• Check the list: the order shown is the order of the pages

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert HEIC to PDF on Windows?

Open this page in Chrome or Edge, drop your HEIC files on the box and press Convert to PDF. No app or codec is needed — the photos are read in the browser.

Can I put many HEIC photos into one PDF?

Yes. Select all of them at once, or add them in batches. Each photo becomes one page, in the order of the list.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The photos are read and the PDF is made on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server.

Why does it take a few seconds?

HEIC is a compressed format that browsers cannot show by themselves. Each photo is first decoded into a normal image, then put on its page. A modern phone or laptop needs about a second per photo.
