HEIC → PDF.

Turn iPhone photos into a document anyone can open. Drop HEIC or HEIF files, choose one combined PDF or a PDF per photo, download. Every step happens in this tab — your photos never touch a server, because there isn't one.

Privacy · Enforced No sign-up No watermarks No size limits

Drop your images here.

Drag straight from a file window — or . HEIC, JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF & more · as many as your browser can hold.

§02b · Use cases

When you'd want this.

Whenever a photo needs to behave like a document — one file, opens anywhere, ready to send.

  • Expenses · one file

    Submitting receipts and expenses.

    Snap the receipts, drop them in, get one PDF. Expense tools and finance teams want a single document, not a folder of HEICs they can’t open.

  • Scans · multi-page

    Scanning documents with your phone.

    Photograph a contract, a form, a page of notes — combine the shots into a single multi-page PDF that reads like a proper scan.

  • Forms · accepted

    Attaching ID or proof photos to a form.

    Passport pages, a driving licence, proof of address — most portals take a PDF cleanly and choke on HEIC. One file, accepted.

  • Email · tidy

    Emailing a set of photos as one attachment.

    Instead of ten separate image attachments, send a single PDF. It threads neatly, downloads once, and opens on the recipient’s phone.

  • Print · A4-ready

    Printing photos at a shop or office.

    A4 pages, photos centered, margins handled — hand the print desk one PDF instead of a USB stick full of files nothing there can read.

  • Archive · future-proof

    Archiving photos in a stable format.

    HEIC is an Apple-era format that older software may not open in ten years. A PDF of photo-sized pages is a safe, universal long-term keep.

Just need the picture itself, not a document? The HEIC → JPG tool gives you a plain image instead.

§02 · Procedure

How the conversion happens.

Three steps. None of them involve a server.

  1. Step 01 1

    Drop the HEIC files.

    Add one photo or a whole stack. Your browser holds them in memory — no upload, no queue on some stranger's server.

  2. Step 02 2

    Pick how the PDF is built.

    Combine every photo into one document or get a PDF each. Choose photo-sized pages for a tight 1:1 fit, or A4 for printing.

  3. Step 03 3

    Your browser does the work.

    libheif decodes the HEIC, a canvas re-encodes each photo as a JPEG, and pdf-lib assembles the PDF. Every step happens in this tab.

§04 · FAQ

HEIC → PDF · FAQ.

Short answers. Anything missing? Tell us.

Why convert HEIC photos to PDF at all?
A PDF is the most universal way to hand someone a photo — it opens on every device, every operating system, and inside every browser without a special codec. It's the natural format for receipts, ID scans, document photos, and anything you need to attach to a form or email as a single tidy file.

Can I combine several photos into one PDF?
Yes. Leave Combine into one PDF on and every photo you drop becomes a page in a single document — handy for multi-page receipts or a scanned set. Turn it off and each photo becomes its own PDF, bundled in a zip when there's more than one.

What's the difference between photo-sized and A4 pages?
Photo-sized makes each PDF page exactly the photo's dimensions — no borders, no whitespace, a faithful 1:1 image PDF. A4 centers each photo on a standard A4 page with a small margin, which is what you want if the PDF is going to a printer.

Does this really run in my browser?
Yes. Decoding uses libheif compiled to WebAssembly, and the PDF is built with pdf-lib — both run entirely in this tab. Open your browser's network panel while you convert and watch nothing upload. The only requests are for the page's own static assets.

What about EXIF metadata (location, camera, timestamp)?
Each photo is re-encoded as a clean JPEG before it goes into the PDF, which strips EXIF along the way. The finished PDF carries no GPS coordinates, no camera model, no capture time — useful when you're about to send it to someone.

How many photos can I put in one PDF?
As many as your browser's RAM can hold. Desktop browsers will happily build a PDF from a few hundred photos; on mobile, stick to 30–50 high-resolution iPhone shots at a time. If the tab goes sluggish, work in smaller batches.

Is anything sent to a server?
No. The whole site is a static bundle served from a CDN — there is no backend to receive files. You can check the source on GitHub if you want to verify that for yourself.
