How to convert HEIC to PDF
- Drop your HEIC files on the box above, or click it to choose them (up to 30 at once).
- Check the settings.
- Press Convert. Each file is processed on your device and shows its old and new size.
- Download the files one by one, combine them into a single PDF, or take them all as a ZIP.
What changes when you convert HEIC to PDF
- The picture is placed inside a PDF file as a raster image. It is not traced into vector shapes, so enlarging it far beyond its pixel size still shows pixels.
- PDF cannot store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white — what image editors do when saving to PDF.
- Camera details and GPS location (EXIF) are not copied into the new file. Photo orientation is applied to the pixels first, so the result is the right way up.
About HEIC and PDF files
HEIC is the format iPhones save photos in by default. It is roughly half the size of an equivalent JPEG, but Windows, Android and most websites cannot open it without extra software.
PDF puts each image on a page that looks the same on every device and prints at its real proportions. Several images can be combined into one multi-page PDF. It is a good choice for sending, printing or uploading images as a document.
Limits
Up to 30 files of 25 MB each per batch and images up to 50 megapixels — beyond that browsers run out of memory, so the tool says so instead of producing a broken file. HEIC decoding uses libheif in the background and can take a few seconds per photo on a phone. Files that are not images, or are damaged, are rejected with the reason.
