Turn HEIC photos into a PDF

or drop them here
Choose at least one JPG or PNG image first.

HEIC to PDF turns one or more HEIC or HEIF photos into a single checked PDF without uploading them. Each primary photo is decoded in this browser tab, transparent pixels are flattened onto white, and the result is stored as JPEG at quality 92. Choose A4 or US Letter, or match each page to its own photo, and the finished PDF is reopened and verified before download.

How to convert HEIC to PDF in your browser

  1. Choose HEIC photos

    Pick one or more .heic or .heif photos, or drag them onto the page. Decoding starts only after you choose a file, so nothing happens until you are ready.

  2. Put them in order

    Use the arrow buttons to set the page order. Each primary photo becomes one PDF page, and the order you see is the order you get in the file.

  3. Choose the page fit

    Match each page to its photo for images of varying shapes, or use A4 or US Letter for a document that prints on standard paper. Add no margin, a narrow margin, or a standard margin.

  4. Read the receipt, then download

    The completed PDF is reopened inside the browser. Its page count, page sizes, and embedded image dimensions must all match before the download button appears.

How does HEIC to PDF decode photos safely?

HEIC is what recent iPhones save by default. When desktop software refuses to open those files, this page decodes the primary image in memory inside this browser tab, flattens its transparent pixels onto white, and stores the frame as JPEG at quality 92. This keeps the decoded pixel width and height, but it does not preserve the original HEIC compression stream.

Only the primary image in each file becomes a page. Live Photos, burst frames, and depth maps are not carried across, so a motion photo arrives as a single still page. The verifier reopens the completed PDF and checks every page size and embedded image dimension before the download appears.

Each decoded photo is stored as JPEG at quality 92, which keeps the picture readable at print size without carrying the full uncompressed frame. Phone photos are large all the same, so a PDF built from twenty of them will not be small. Compress PDF reduces the image data afterwards, and Size breakdown names the pages responsible before you compress anything.

When should I convert HEIC to PDF here?

This HEIC to PDF converter is free with no account needed. Decoding runs inside this browser tab, so an iPhone photo becomes a PDF page with no file content reaching a server: usage data events carry only action names, counts, sizes and durations. The decoder starts only once you have chosen a file.

Sharing iPhone photos with Windows or Android users. When HEIC files from a recent iPhone will not open on a Windows PC or an older Android device, converting them to PDF gives every recipient a file their device can read without installing a codec or an app.

Submitting photos to a portal that accepts PDF only. When a portal accepts PDF but not HEIC, convert your iPhone photos here, put them in order, and download one PDF that meets the requirement.

Archiving a photo set from a trip or event. A folder of HEIC photos is hard to browse on a desktop. One PDF preserves the order, opens in any reader, and is easy to file or back up.

Emailing photos without size warnings. A single PDF is cleaner than a batch of HEIC attachments.

To put these pages beside an existing document, use Merge PDF. For a folder holding several image formats, use Images to PDF. Camera photos in JPG belong in JPG to PDF, and web-saved WebP files in WebP to PDF.

HEIC to PDF frequently asked questions

Are my HEIC photos uploaded to a server?
No. The decoder, PDF writer, and all output checks run in this browser tab. No file content leaves your device; usage data events carry only action names, counts, sizes and durations.
What happens to image quality?
The primary HEIC image is decoded once and stored as JPEG at quality 92. Its decoded pixel width and height are kept, but the original HEIC compression stream is not.
Does it include Live Photo video?
No. It converts the primary still image only. Motion, depth maps, bursts, and auxiliary images are not added to the PDF.
What happens to transparent pixels?
They are flattened onto white before the photo is stored in the PDF, so a page never arrives as a grey block.
Does photo text become selectable?
No. Text inside a photo is made of pixels. This conversion does not run OCR.
Is there a file size or page limit?
No account is required and there is no queue. Files are processed in this tab and held in memory, so very large sets depend on what your browser and device can handle.
Which HEIC variants are supported?
Standard HEIC and HEIF still images. The tool reads the primary image from each file and ignores motion, depth, and burst data.
What does the HEIC to PDF verification check cover?
It reopens the completed PDF and checks the page count, every page size, and the decoded pixel width and height of each embedded image. A failed result is not offered for download.
