How to convert HEIC to PDF

Five steps, all running locally in your browser.

01

Drop your files

HEIC, JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF or AVIF, mixed freely. Nothing is uploaded, everything stays on your device.

02

Reorder pages

Drag a row to a new position, or use the up and down arrow buttons on each row.

03

Choose page size

Fit to image sizes each page to its own photo. A4 or Letter give uniform pages, with orientation and margin.

04

Set a filename, optional

Defaults to images.pdf if left blank.

05

Create and download

HEIC and AVIF are transcoded to JPEG automatically. JPEG and PNG embed untouched.

Why convert HEIC photos to PDF

iPhones and iPads save photos in HEIC format by default because it offers better compression than JPEG at the same quality. However, HEIC is not widely supported outside Apple devices. When you need to submit photos to a portal, share documents by email, or print from a non-Apple device, HEIC files are often rejected or fail to open.

Converting to PDF solves all of these problems at once. A single PDF can contain all your photos in the correct order, opens on every device and operating system, and is accepted by virtually every submission portal and email client.

Job applications and HR portals

Upload scanned certificates, ID photos and supporting documents as a single PDF instead of multiple HEIC files that may be rejected.

Government and visa forms

Visa applications, permit portals, and tax submissions typically require PDF. Convert your iPhone photos directly without converting to JPG first.

Insurance and medical claims

Submit damage photos, receipts, and supporting evidence together as one organised PDF document.

School and university submissions

Assignment photos, supporting documents, and certificates all combined into a single PDF that any submission portal will accept.

If you need a JPG or PNG version of your HEIC file instead, the HEIC to JPG converter and HEIC to PNG converter handle that instantly in your browser.

Common HEIC to PDF mistakes

Assuming the PDF conversion is lossless

It isn't, for HEIC or AVIF sources. Since PDF only natively embeds JPEG or PNG, this tool re-encodes HEIC and AVIF to JPEG at a fixed quality of 82 with no slider to adjust it. If you need control over that setting, convert to JPG first at your chosen quality, then build the PDF from that JPG.

Leaving page size on Fit to image for photos of different resolutions

Fit to image sizes each page to its own source photo, so a PDF built from photos with different dimensions will have differently sized pages throughout the document. Switch to A4 or Letter if you need every page the same size.

Not realizing AVIF files are accepted too

The tool handles AVIF alongside HEIC, JPEG, PNG, WebP and GIF, even though the page is focused on HEIC. You don't need to convert an AVIF file to another format first.

Expecting transparency to survive from a transparent WebP or GIF

Non-JPEG, non-PNG formats are flattened onto a white background during the transcode to JPEG for embedding. If you're mixing in a transparent graphic alongside your HEIC photos, its transparent areas will turn white in the PDF.

Assuming reordering only works by dragging

Each row also has up and down arrow buttons, which can be easier to use precisely on a touchscreen than dragging, especially with a long list of photos.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I need to convert HEIC to PDF?

HEIC is the default photo format on iPhones and iPads. Most document submission portals, government forms, job application systems, and email clients do not accept HEIC files. PDF is the universal standard for document sharing. Converting your iPhone photos to PDF ensures they open correctly everywhere and can be submitted to any portal.

Does converting HEIC to PDF reduce image quality?

Yes, to a degree that's worth knowing about. PDF only natively supports embedding JPEG or PNG images, so a HEIC (or AVIF) file is automatically decoded and re-encoded as JPEG at a fixed quality of 82 before it goes into the PDF, there's no quality slider on this page. For most photos this is visually indistinguishable, but if you need control over that quality setting, convert with the HEIC to JPG tool first, where quality is adjustable from 60 to 95, then feed that JPG into this tool. A native JPEG is embedded exactly as-is with no second re-encode.

How do I convert multiple iPhone photos into one PDF?

Drop all your HEIC files into the tool at once. Each becomes a separate page in the list. Drag the rows to set the page order, or use the up and down arrow buttons on each row, then click Create PDF. All photos are merged into a single downloaded PDF file.

Will the PDF have a watermark?

No. The output PDF has no watermarks or branding of any kind. All processing runs locally in your browser, so there is no service involved that would add a watermark.

Can I set a custom filename for the PDF?

Yes. A filename field appears once you've added at least one image, defaulting to images.pdf if you leave it blank. Type whatever name you want before clicking Create PDF, the .pdf extension is added automatically.

Are my iPhone photos uploaded to a server?

No. All conversion happens locally in your browser. Your HEIC files never leave your device. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the conversion still works.

Is there a file size limit?

No. There is no imposed file size limit. The practical limit is your device's available memory, which handles most use cases easily including high-resolution iPhone camera photos.

What page size options are available?

You can choose Fit to image, which sizes each page exactly to your photo, A4 for the standard international paper size, or US Letter for the North American standard. Portrait and landscape orientation are available for A4 and Letter, and you can set a margin.

Can I mix HEIC photos with JPG, PNG and other formats in the same PDF?

Yes. The tool accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF and HEIC files in the same session. You can mix formats freely and they all become pages in the same PDF, in whatever order you arrange them.

Does this work on iPhone directly?

Yes. The tool works in Safari and other modern browsers on iPhone and iPad. Tap the upload area to select photos from your camera roll or Files app.
