What this does

Convert iPhone HEIC photos directly to PDF — no JPG step needed.

iPhones shoot HEIC by default for storage efficiency, but most non-Apple recipients can't open it. Drop HEIC files in, get a multi-page PDF, send to anyone. Conversion runs in your browser — your photos never upload to a server.

How to convert HEIC to PDF

  1. 1

    Drop your HEIC files

    Drag from Finder, Photos export, or AirDrop folder. Multiple HEICs become one multi-page PDF in the order you add them.

  2. 2

    Pick page size + orientation

    A4 or Letter, portrait or landscape. The tool fits each image to the page while preserving aspect ratio.

  3. 3

    Download the PDF

    Convert + download. Each HEIC becomes a PDF page. Original photos are untouched.

When this matters

Expense receipts from iPhone

Snap receipts with iPhone, convert to PDF, attach to expense report. Most expense systems prefer PDF over HEIC.

ID + passport scans

Visa, bank KYC, age verification — they want PDF, not HEIC. One conversion step solves it.

Photographed paperwork

Print, sign, photograph each page with iPhone, convert all to one PDF. Faster than walking to a scanner.

Sharing iPhone photos with Windows users

Older Windows or Outlook can't open HEIC natively. PDF works everywhere.

HEIC-specific tips

  1. 01

    iOS Photos lets you export as JPG too

    If you'd rather skip the conversion: in Photos app, Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible. Future shots are JPG. Existing HEIC photos still need conversion.

  2. 02

    HEIC files are ~50% smaller than JPG

    That's why iPhone uses them. Converting to JPG (then to PDF) doubles your file size. Going HEIC → PDF directly skips that bloat.

  3. 03

    Keep originals — converting is one-way

    The PDF discards EXIF metadata (camera info, GPS). Keep the original HEICs if you need that data later for photo organization or legal.

Frequently asked

Since iOS 11, iPhones default to HEIC because it stores the same image quality at roughly half the file size of JPG. The downside is that many websites, client portals, and government forms still only accept JPG or PDF — which is why you may need to convert before uploading.

Yes. Add as many HEIC or HEIF files as you need and the tool combines them into one PDF, with each photo as its own page in the order you uploaded them.

No. The HEIC decoder and PDF builder both run in your browser. Photos never leave your device — useful when the files are receipts, IDs, or anything you'd rather not upload to a third-party converter.

Yes. HEIC is a specific subset of HEIF; the tool handles both. You can also mix in regular JPG and PNG images in the same conversion if you need a single PDF from a mixed set.

No. The output is a clean, watermark-free PDF you can send to clients, attach to forms, or upload to a portal directly.

Conversion happens locally in your browser, so speed depends on your device. Most modern phones and laptops handle 10–20 photos comfortably; larger batches may take a minute. If you need to send the resulting PDF to a client, sign up for a free BulkShare account to host it on your own custom domain.

Windows needs a paid codec extension to read HEIC, which is why clients complain the photos 'don't open.' Converting to PDF (or JPG) sidesteps the problem — every device opens the result.

Marginally — HEIC is decoded and re-encoded, but at high quality settings the difference is invisible in practice. Originals stay untouched on your device.

Settings → Camera → Formats → choose 'Most Compatible.' Your iPhone will save JPGs directly — bigger files, but no conversion step ever again.
