What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the photo format iPhones and iPads have used by default since iOS 11. It is based on the HEIF standard and stores photos at about half the size of a JPG with the same quality. The downside is compatibility: Windows needs an extra codec, many Android phones, websites and upload forms do not accept HEIC, and you cannot attach it to many job portals or government forms. Converting to PDF solves this, because every device and every system can open a PDF.

How to stop your iPhone saving HEIC
On the iPhone open Settings → Camera → Formats and choose Most Compatible. New photos are then saved as JPG. Existing photos stay HEIC, which is what this converter is for. When you share photos from the Photos app to a computer, iOS also offers to convert them automatically under Settings → Photos → Transfer to Mac or PC → Automatic.
Privacy and security
Photos often show faces, homes, IDs and documents. Here they are decoded and placed into the PDF entirely in your browser. They are not uploaded, stored or seen by anyone. The location and camera information stored in your photos is not copied into the PDF.
Good to know
- First use: outside Safari the tool downloads a small HEIC decoder the first time, which takes a few seconds on a slow connection.
- Live Photos and bursts: the main still image is used.
- File size: HEIC is very efficient, so the PDF is usually larger than the photos. Choose a smaller photo size or compress the result with Compress PDF.
- Large batches on older phones: convert 20–30 photos at a time.
