HEIC to PDF
Convert HEIC photos into a PDF document in your browser. No upload needed.

HEIC and HEIF files only. Files never leave your browser.
HEIC to PDF converts one or more HEIC photos into a single PDF document. It is designed for situations where iPhone images need to be submitted, shared, or archived as a structured document — such as a portfolio, insurance claim, photo report, or scanned-document substitute. All conversion and PDF assembly happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Tool interface
The interface supports multi-image workflow with page ordering:
- A drag-and-drop upload area for HEIC and HEIF files
- A file list with up/down reorder controls to set the page sequence
- A page size selector: Fit to image, A4 Portrait, or Letter Portrait

You can add multiple HEIC files and arrange them in any order before converting. The page sequence in the PDF matches the order shown in the file list.
Tool description
HEIC to PDF converts each HEIC image to a high-quality JPEG internally using a WebAssembly-based decoder, then embeds it into the PDF using pdf-lib, a client-side JavaScript PDF library. The embedded JPEG uses a quality setting of 92%, which retains virtually all visible detail while keeping PDF file sizes manageable.
Page size options give you control over the document layout:
- Fit to image: Each page is sized precisely to match the image dimensions. No borders, no scaling.
- A4 Portrait: Images are scaled to fit within standard A4 margins (595 × 841 pt) and centred on the page.
- Letter Portrait: Images are scaled to fit within US Letter margins (612 × 792 pt) and centred on the page.
Some practical use cases:
- Submitting scanned receipts or documents photographed on an iPhone as a single PDF
- Creating a photo report from HEIC images taken on-site
- Packaging multiple iPhone photos into a PDF portfolio or lookbook
- Archiving HEIC images in a long-term, universally readable document format
How to use
- Drop your HEIC or HEIF files onto the upload area, or click
Browse. - Use the up/down arrows in the file list to arrange the page order.
- Select a page size from the selector.
- Click
Convert & Downloadto build the PDF. - The tool converts each HEIC to JPEG and assembles the PDF — allow a few seconds per image for HEIC decoding.
Tip: Use Fit to image when your photos have different aspect ratios, so each appears full-size on its own page without letterboxing or scaling distortion.
FAQ
Can I include multiple HEIC photos in one PDF?
Yes. Drop or select as many HEIC files as you need. Each image becomes one page in the PDF, in the order shown in the file list.
Can I control the order of pages?
Yes. The up/down arrows in the file list let you reorder images before converting. The final PDF page order matches the list exactly.
What page size should I use?
Use A4 if the PDF will be used in regions where A4 is the standard document format. Use Letter for the US market. Use Fit to image if the photos have irregular dimensions and you want each image at full size with no page borders.
Are my HEIC files uploaded to a server?
No. All HEIC decoding and PDF assembly happens locally in your browser. Your files are never sent anywhere.
Why is the PDF larger than the original HEIC files?
PDF embeds JPEG images internally, and HEIC's efficient compression does not carry over into the PDF format — JPEG at 92% quality is inherently larger than the equivalent HEIC. This is an expected trade-off of the conversion.
How are the images embedded in the PDF?
Each HEIC image is decoded to raw pixel data and re-encoded as JPEG at 92% quality before embedding. This setting is chosen to preserve nearly all visible detail while keeping the PDF from being excessively large.
