Convert iPhone HEIC photos to a single PDF (free & private)
Turn camera-roll HEIC shots into a shareable PDF without sending them to a stranger's server.
Why HEIC?
HEIC (High-Efficiency Image Container) cuts file size roughly in half versus JPEG with the same visual quality. The downside: many tools, including some PDF converters, still don't read it.
The browser shortcut
- Open the HEIC to PDF tool.
- Drop your
.heicphotos straight from the Photos app or AirDrop. - Reorder if you want a specific page order.
- Click Convert to PDF — done.
Under the hood, heic2any decodes the photos to JPEG inside your browser, then pdf-lib lays them out one per page on A4.
Tips
- For receipts, scan with the mobile scanner instead — it auto-crops and boosts contrast.
- For huge batches, do a compress pass after to keep file size friendly for email.
