Convert HEIC to PDF

Turn HEIC images into a PDF — one file or a whole batch merged into a single, ordered document — without your files ever leaving this device.

How to convert HEIC to PDF

Drop your HEIC files onto the panel above, pick a page size, and press Convert. Multiple images merge into one PDF, a page per image, in the order of the strip.

Page size is the only decision. Fit image makes each page exactly the shape of its image, with no borders and no scaling. A4 and Letter centre the image on a standard sheet with half-inch margins and rotate the page automatically for landscape photos, so nothing is squeezed to fit. The preview on the stage is the actual PDF rather than an approximation of it, so what you see there is what downloads.

The document is assembled entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, which matters for precisely the things that end up as PDFs: identity documents, signed contracts, medical records, and bank statements.

Why convert HEIC to PDF?

HEIC is what an iPhone hands you when you photograph a document — and it is exactly what application portals, government forms, and older office software refuse to accept.

Converting to PDF solves both problems in one step: the format objection disappears, and a stack of photographed pages becomes one ordered, submittable document. No detour through JPG needed.

Image quality inside the PDF

The HEIC is decoded right in your browser and embedded at quality 92 — visually indistinguishable from the source photo.

Expect the PDF to be somewhat larger than the HEICs, since Apple's compression is tighter than JPEG's.

Only the still image travels into the PDF: a Live Photo's motion and audio stay behind, and depth data is dropped. For documents, that is precisely nothing of value lost.

Choosing a page size

Pick Fit image when the PDF is a wrapper, and A4 or Letter when it is a document someone will print or file.

The distinction is about what happens to the whitespace. Fit image gives the page the exact dimensions of your image, so there are no borders and nothing is scaled — ideal on screen, and the right answer when a system just wants the file in PDF form. A standard sheet instead places your image on a fixed page with margins, which is what makes a stack of photographed pages look like a document rather than a pile of photos.

Page sizeWhat it doesUse it for
Fit imageThe page is the image — exact dimensions, no borders, no scalingScreenshots, single photos, anything viewed on screen
A4Image centred on a 210 × 297 mm page with half-inch marginsDocuments headed for print or formal submission outside the US
LetterImage centred on an 8.5 × 11 in page with half-inch marginsDocuments for US recipients and US-format filings
On A4 and Letter, landscape photos get landscape pages automatically: the page rotates rather than the photo, so nothing ends up sideways.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install anything?

Yes — this page is the whole tool, and it works in Safari on the iPhone itself. Select the photos, and if they arrive as HEIC they are decoded in the browser; nothing is uploaded, which matters when the photos are of your passport, your lease, or your signature. AirDropping to a Mac and converting there works identically.

One PDF or several?

One. The whole batch merges into a single PDF with a page per image, in the order shown in the strip — which is what a multi-page document should be. To get separate PDFs instead, convert the files one at a time.

Does converting HEIC to PDF reduce quality?

The HEIC is decoded right in your browser and embedded at quality 92 — visually indistinguishable from the source photo. Expect the PDF to be somewhat larger than the HEICs, since Apple's compression is tighter than JPEG's.

Is it safe for sensitive documents?

The conversion runs as code inside your browser tab — the files never leave your device, there is no server copy, and the tool keeps working with your connection switched off. For IDs, contracts, and medical paperwork, that is the property to insist on.
