No images yet. Drop some above to get started.
Photograph a document with an iPhone and you get HEIC files — a format most upload portals, offices and Windows machines can't open. Converting HEIC to PDF merges those photos into one universal document, each photo on its own page, ready to email, print or formally submit.
HEIC compresses iPhone photos about twice as tightly as JPG but barely opens outside Apple hardware; PDF opens on every desk, phone and printer on earth. The conversion decodes each HEIC on your device and lays it onto its own PDF page — reorder the pages however you like before creating the document.

How HEIC and PDF compare
HEIC is best for storing photos on apple devices — convert to jpg/png to share or use elsewhere. PDF is best for documents, scans, receipts and any set of images that needs to travel as one printable file.
Here's how HEIC and PDF line up on the things that matter:
| Property | HEIC | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy (HEVC) | Lossy (images JPEG-compressed inside) |
| Transparency | Yes | No |
| Animation | No | No |
| Typical file size | About half the size of JPG at similar quality | Roughly the sum of the compressed images inside it |
| Support | Apple devices; poor support on the web and non-Apple apps | Universal — every OS, browser, phone and office app |
| Best for | Storing photos on Apple devices — convert to JPG/PNG to share or use elsewhere. | Documents, scans, receipts and any set of images that needs to travel as one printable file. |
Things to keep in mind when converting HEIC to PDF
- PDF does not support transparency. Any transparent areas in your HEIC will be filled with a solid white background.
- Each image becomes its own PDF page — a batch of HEIC files turns into one multi-page PDF, reorderable with the Move up / Move down buttons. Pages can auto-fit each image, or use a fixed A4 or Letter size with the image centred.
HEIC to PDF: quality, file size and privacy
You decide the trade-off: the slider sets the PDF compression level, and for typical HEIC images anything around 80 looks exactly like the original while shrinking the file substantially.
Nothing you convert is uploaded anywhere. The work happens inside the browser tab, so a sensitive HEIC scan gets the same privacy as a meme — and the tool stays free, with no watermark and no account.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded when I convert HEIC to PDF?
No. Unlike upload-based converters, this one processes HEIC files on your own device — which is both faster and private by design.
Is the HEIC to PDF converter free?
Completely free — no account, no trial, no watermark, and no cap on how many HEIC files you convert.
Can I convert many HEIC files at once?
Yes — drop as many HEIC files as you like (up to 50 per batch). Each one becomes a page in a single PDF, and the Move up / Move down buttons let you set the order before creating it.
What page size does the PDF use?
You choose. Auto (the default) sizes each page to its HEIC image exactly, so nothing is cropped, stretched or padded; or pick A4 or Letter to centre every image on a fixed page with half-inch margins.
Why won't my HEIC photo open on Windows or Android?
HEIC is Apple's default photo format, and most Windows apps, Android devices and websites can't read it without extra codecs. Converting to PDF gives you a file that opens everywhere — and it happens in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded.
Will the PDF file be smaller than my HEIC?
The PDF is usually somewhat larger than the HEIC files combined — pages are stored as JPEG internally, which compresses less tightly than HEIC. The image-quality slider controls the trade-off.
Do I need to install software to convert HEIC to PDF?
No. The HEIC to PDF converter runs in your web browser, so there's nothing to download or install — on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android or iPhone.
Will converting HEIC to PDF reduce quality?
You control it. The quality slider sets how the HEIC images are compressed inside the PDF — at 90% pages look identical to the originals while keeping the document a reasonable size.
