How do I convert HEIC to PDF?

Short answer: Add your HEIC photos to the converter above, click "Convert to PDF", and download the result. Each photo becomes one page in a single PDF. The whole process runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded, no account is needed, and it's completely free.

Why convert HEIC to PDF?

Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos as HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container, based on the HEIF standard) — great for storage, terrible for compatibility. Windows PCs can't open HEIC files without a paid extension, many websites reject them, and official portals for visa and immigration applications almost always require PDF. Converting to PDF is the universal fix: every phone, computer, and government website opens PDFs without issues.

Your files never leave your device

Most online converters work by uploading your photos to their servers — where you can't verify what happens to them. This tool is different: the HEIC decoding and PDF building both run locally in your browser using JavaScript. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it will still work. For sensitive documents like passport photos and application paperwork, that privacy guarantee matters.

Convert in 3 steps

  1. Add your photos. Drag & drop HEIC files or click to browse. Add one photo or twenty — they'll all go into a single PDF in order.
  2. Choose your settings. Pick image quality and page size (fit-to-photo, A4, or US Letter).
  3. Download your PDF. Click convert, wait a few seconds, and save the file. No signup, no watermark, no limits.

Frequently asked questions

Why are my iPhone photos saved as HEIC?
Since iOS 11, iPhones default to HEIC because it stores roughly the same quality as JPEG at half the file size. You can change it in Settings → Camera → Formats → "Most Compatible" (JPEG), but photos you've already taken stay HEIC — hence the need to convert.
Can Windows open HEIC files?
Not natively. Windows 10 and 11 require a paid HEIF extension from the Microsoft Store, and even then many applications can't use the files. Converting to PDF avoids the problem completely.
Is it safe to upload HEIC photos to online converters?
Any upload carries some risk — you can't verify what a server does with your photos afterwards. This converter never uploads anything: all processing happens in your browser, so your photos physically cannot leave your device.
Will converting HEIC to PDF reduce quality?
Negligibly. Photos are rendered at 92% JPEG quality before being placed in the PDF — visually identical for documents, applications, and printing. Choose "Medium" only if you need a smaller file.
Can I combine multiple HEIC photos into one PDF?
Yes — that's the main use case. Add all your photos at once; each becomes one page in a single PDF, in the order listed. Visa and immigration applications typically want exactly this: one PDF with all supporting photos.
How do I convert HEIC to PDF on a Mac?
Macs open HEIC natively, but the simplest route is this page — it works in Safari, Chrome, or any browser on Mac, iPhone, Windows, or Android, with nothing to install.
