HEIC to PDF Converter — Convert iPhone Photos to PDF Free

Apple switched to HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) as the default iPhone photo format in iOS 11 to save storage — HEIC files are roughly half the size of JPEG at the same quality. The downside is poor compatibility: Windows, older Macs, web apps and many email clients can't open HEIC directly.

Drop one or many .heic or .heif files onto the tool. Each file is uploaded securely and decoded to JPEG on our secure servers, then assembled into a multi-page PDF. Files are removed under our Security policy, and the conversion is free with no per-page cost.

Yes — that is the most common use case. Drop a folder of HEIC photos and they become a single multi-page PDF, one image per page. Great for compiling receipts, document photos, screenshots from an iPad, or a digital portfolio of phone photography.

"Fit to image" preserves the photo's exact aspect ratio at full resolution and produces the smallest file — recommended for purely digital sharing. A4 or Letter add white margins and crop to the page aspect — better when the PDF will be printed on standard paper.

Decoding is lossless — HEIC pixels round-trip to a JPEG buffer at the chosen quality (default 85%, adjustable). HEIC at high quality is already JPEG-equivalent, so 85% JPEG output looks indistinguishable from the source for normal viewing.

Each .heic file is treated as a single still photo, which is the visible "key frame" of a Live Photo. The motion clip and burst alternates inside the HEIC container are not extracted — this is intentional for predictable PDF output.

Your files are processed on our secure server over HTTPS, retained temporarily to deliver the PDF, then removed under our Security policy. We never sell them or use them to train models. If your HEIC photos carry sensitive GPS metadata and you need a strictly offline workflow, strip the EXIF data first or use a desktop converter instead.

The Free plan supports up to 20 images per PDF, Premium 60, Pro 120, and Enterprise 200. The workspace shows the applicable limit before processing; split larger sets into smaller PDFs.

For printing or filing (scanned receipts, forms, documents), pick A4 or Letter with the quality slider around 90–95% so small text stays sharp after printing. For a quick digital share or archive of photo memories, use "Fit to image" with quality around 70–85% to keep the PDF small without visible loss. Nudge the slider higher if you notice JPEG blockiness around fine detail.

Yes. Use Add more beneath the file list to append HEIC, HEIF, JPG or PNG files. The current selections remain in place and new pages are appended in the order added.

Photos are placed in the PDF in the order you select or drop them, and there's currently no drag-to-reorder or per-file remove control — the file list only shows names and total size. If you added the wrong photo or want a different order, the simplest fix is to refresh the page and re-select your files in the order you want them to appear.

Windows often can't preview HEIC photos without paid codec extensions, but you don't need them. Upload the HEIC file here in any browser — decoding happens on our secure server and the file is deleted automatically afterward — then download a standard PDF that opens on every Windows PC. You can also combine several iPhone photos into one multi-page PDF for people who can't open HEIC at all.

Almost always one of three things. The file is over the 11 MB free upload limit — Premium takes 50 MB and Pro 120 MB. The format is not one this tool accepts, so check the list shown on the upload panel. Or the file is not really the format its name says: renaming a file does not change what is inside it, and that is the reason a valid-looking PDF gets refused.

That is nearly always a font the document uses but the converter cannot see, so a substitute steps in and the spacing moves with it. Stick to widely available fonts, or embed the fonts in the source document before converting. Check page breaks and any table that sits near the bottom of a page in the output.

No. You can run HEIC to PDF and download the free result without an account, and it carries no watermark. Premium is what you buy when the limits start to bite: larger uploads, no daily cap, and the original-resolution result. Nothing is revealed at the download step that was not visible before you started.

No — HEIC to PDF runs in the browser on desktop and phone. There is nothing to install, no trial to start, and no license to buy before you can see whether it does what you need. Try it on the file you are actually stuck with rather than a sample.
