Turn iPhone HEIC photos into a PDF anything can open.
One or many. You can reorder them before saving, and nothing is uploaded — the PDF is assembled on your device.
Reading your images…
Your HEIC photos are decoded and converted on your device, never uploaded.
Turns the HEIC photos an iPhone takes into a PDF that opens on anything. HEIC is Apple's default camera format and almost nothing outside Apple can read it, so a photographed document sent as HEIC is routinely bounced by the very portal that asked for it. A PDF is the format those portals actually accept.
There is one honest caveat, and it is worth reading before you start. Decoding HEIC is the operating system's job, not the browser's, which in practice means this works on Safari on an iPhone, iPad or Mac and does not work in Chrome or Firefox on Windows. The page checks before it starts and says so plainly rather than handing back blank pages.
Everything runs in this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, which is the other reason to do it here — the HEIC files people need as PDFs are usually photographs of passports, forms and letters.
Application forms, tenancy checks and insurance claims ask for a PDF and then refuse the .heic your phone produced. This is the missing step.
A HEIC arrives as a file they cannot open and will not install anything to read. A PDF opens in the browser they already have.
A multi-page letter or contract shot page by page becomes one ordered document rather than a burst of separate images.
PDF is a far safer long-term format than a codec tied to one manufacturer's hardware, and it keeps related pages in one file.
Safari on iPhone, iPad or Mac can decode HEIC because macOS and iOS supply the codec. If you are on Windows or Android, see the question below — there is a way round it.
Drop them or choose them from the camera roll. If a file cannot be decoded, you are told immediately rather than after the document has been built.
Drag the rows or use the arrows. Thumbnails make a set of photographed pages easy to sequence, which filenames like IMG_4471.HEIC do not.
A4 or US Letter for anything being submitted or printed. The PDF downloads straight away, built entirely on your device.
Only Safari on Apple hardware can, because the codec belongs to the operating system rather than to the browser. Two ways round it: open this page on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, or set the iPhone to hand out JPGs — Settings, Photos, Transfer to Mac or PC, Automatic — and share the photo again.
Settings, Camera, Formats, then choose "Most Compatible". New photos are saved as JPG from then on, which sidesteps this whole problem for everything you shoot afterwards. It does not change the photos already on the phone.
HEIC cannot be embedded in a PDF directly — no PDF reader understands it — so each photo is decoded and re-encoded once, at high quality. The difference is not visible at normal viewing or printing sizes, but it is a real re-encode rather than a copy.
No. The decode and the conversion both happen in this browser tab. Nothing is sent anywhere, which is worth knowing given what most people are photographing when they need a PDF.
Only the still frame is used, which is the frame you see in the camera roll. The motion component is not something a PDF page can hold.
Use HEIC to JPG instead — same decoding, but it hands back ordinary image files rather than a document.
