Convert HEIC to PDF

Turn iPhone HEIC photos into a single PDF

About this task

iPhones save photos as HEIC by default, and many forms, portals and email systems will not take that format. Putting the photos into a PDF is a quick way round it. Add the HEIC files, drag them into order and each becomes a page.

Safari can open HEIC photos itself. In Chrome, Firefox and Edge the page loads a small decoder (about 2 MB, once) the first time you add a HEIC file, then reads the photo on your own device. The decoder is open source and nothing is sent to a server.

Each photo is saved in the PDF as a JPEG, so the PDF stays reasonably small. The tool handles photo rotation, and you can mix HEIC with JPG or PNG files in the same PDF. If the result is over a size limit, use Compress PDF to 100KB or another target afterwards.

Decoding a HEIC photo takes a second or two on a phone or older computer, longer for very large ones. Location and camera details are not copied into the PDF, and only the still image is used, not the Live Photo motion. HDR photos can look slightly flatter than on the phone.

How to do it

  1. Add your HEIC photos, or drop them onto the page.
  2. Drag them into order and pick a page size, margin and orientation.
  3. Press Create PDF.
  4. Download the PDF. Open it once to check the page order.

Frequently asked questions

Why won't my HEIC photo open in Chrome or Firefox?

Those browsers do not decode HEIC themselves. This page adds a decoder on demand, so the photo opens anyway.

Can I mix HEIC and JPG photos in one PDF?

Yes. Each image becomes a page, in the order shown in the list, whatever its format.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The HEIC files are decoded and the PDF is built in your browser.
