Turn HEIC photos into a PDF

or drop them here
Choose at least one JPG or PNG image first.

Choose HEIC or HEIF photos, put them in order, and build one checked PDF without an upload. Each primary photo is decoded in this browser tab, and decoding starts only after you choose a file. Match each page to its photo or use A4 or US Letter with the margin you choose. Page count, page sizes and image dimensions are verified before download.

How to turn HEIC photos into a PDF

  1. Choose HEIC photos

    Choose .heic or .heif photos, or drop them on the page. Decoding starts only after you choose a file.

  2. Put them in order

    Use the arrow buttons to set the page order. Each primary photo becomes one PDF page.

  3. Choose the page fit

    Match each page to its photo, or use A4 or US Letter with the margin you choose.

  4. Read the receipt, then download

    The completed PDF is reopened. Its page count, page sizes and embedded image dimensions must match before download.

What goes into the PDF

The primary HEIC image is decoded in memory. Transparent pixels are flattened onto white, then the image is stored as JPEG at quality 92. The verifier reopens the PDF and checks every page size and embedded image dimension before the download appears.

Where HEIC to PDF fits

pdfpix is a free HEIC to PDF converter that asks for no account and sets no daily cap. Decoding runs inside this browser tab, so an iPhone photo becomes a PDF page without the file reaching a server. Nothing is uploaded to convert it, and the decoder starts only once you have chosen a file.

HEIC is what recent iPhones save by default, and it is the format most desktop software still refuses to open. Turning the photo into a PDF page is the reliable way to hand it to somebody else, because every reader on every platform opens a PDF. Only the primary image in each file becomes a page. Live Photos, burst frames and depth maps are not carried across, and transparent pixels are flattened onto white so a page never arrives as a grey block.

Each decoded photo is stored in the PDF as a JPEG at quality 92, which keeps the picture readable at print size without carrying the full uncompressed frame. Phone photos are large all the same, so a PDF built from twenty of them will not be small. Compress PDF reduces the image data afterwards, and Size breakdown names the pages responsible before you compress anything.

To put these pages beside an existing document, use Merge PDF. For a folder holding several image formats, use Images to PDF. If the photos are pages of a document rather than pictures, Scan documents with your phone covers getting a straight, readable page in the first place.

Questions

Are my HEIC photos uploaded?
No. The decoder, PDF writer and output checks run in this browser tab.
What happens to image quality?
The primary HEIC image is decoded once and stored as JPEG at quality 92. Its decoded pixel width and height are kept, but the original HEIC compression stream is not.
Does it include Live Photo video?
No. It converts the primary still image only. Motion, depth maps, bursts and auxiliary images are not added to the PDF.
What happens to transparent pixels?
They are flattened onto white before the photo is stored in the PDF.
Does photo text become selectable?
No. Text inside a photo is made of pixels. This conversion does not run OCR.
What does the HEIC to PDF check cover?
It reopens the completed PDF and checks the page count, every page size, and the decoded pixel width and height of each embedded image. A failed result is not offered for download.
