How to Convert iPhone HEIC Photos to PDF

If you've ever emailed an iPhone photo and heard 'I can't open this', you've met HEIC — Apple's efficient photo format that isn't supported everywhere. Converting HEIC to PDF is the simplest way to make your photos open reliably on Windows, Android and the web.

Why are iPhone photos HEIC?

Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos as HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) to save storage while keeping quality. The trade-off is compatibility: many non-Apple apps and older programs can't open HEIC directly.

Convert HEIC to PDF in 3 steps

1. 1Open the HEIC to PDF tool on your iPhone or computer and add your HEIC/HEIF photos.
2. 2Arrange the photos into the order you want, rotate any that need it, and pick your page size and margins.
3. 3Tap Create PDF — the file is made on your device and downloads right away, ready to share anywhere.

Your photos stay on your device

The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded to a server. That matters for personal pictures and any images with sensitive details. It also means the tool works even on a slow or offline connection once the page has loaded.
