HEIC to PDF converter for iPhone and iPad photos

iPhones and iPads save photos as HEIC, a format that many document systems, email attachments and upload forms do not accept. A PDF is accepted almost everywhere. This converter reads your HEIC or HEIF photos and places them into a PDF, one photo per page, so you can send, print or archive them as a single document.

You decide how the pages look: fit each photo onto A4 or US Letter, or make each page match its photo, add a margin, and choose how much the photos are compressed. If you already have JPG or PNG files instead, use JPG to PDF or Image to PDF. To keep the pictures as separate image files rather than a PDF, use HEIC to JPG.

How to convert HEIC to PDF

1Add your HEIC photosDrag and drop them onto the box, or click it to choose files. Files ending in .heic or .heif are accepted, and each file is checked to make sure it really is a HEIC photo.
2Set the order and the optionsUse the up and down buttons to put the photos in the order you want, then choose the page size, margin, photo quality and whether you want one PDF or one PDF per photo.
3Click "Create PDF"Photos are converted one after another and then placed into the PDF. You can stop the batch at any time.
4Download the resultDownload the PDF, or when you chose one PDF per photo, download each one or all of them as a ZIP.

The PDF options explained

Page size: A4 or US Letter give standard pages. "Match the photo's shape" makes each page the same shape as its photo, so nothing is surrounded by white bars.
Orientation: for A4 and US Letter, Auto turns each page sideways when its photo is wider than it is tall. You can also force portrait or landscape.
Margin: blank space around each photo. Photos are scaled to fit without being stretched or cropped.
Photo quality: the photos are stored as JPG images inside the PDF. High keeps the most detail, Small makes the PDF noticeably smaller.
Output: one PDF with every photo on its own page, or a separate PDF for each photo, delivered as individual downloads or one ZIP.

How your photos are handled

Your photos are read by your browser from your device and the PDF is built there. They are not uploaded to LovePDFImg or to any other server.
Safari on iPhone, iPad and Mac can read HEIC itself. Most versions of Chrome, Firefox and Edge cannot, so on those browsers the page downloads an open-source converter component (heic-to, which is built on the libheif library) from the jsDelivr network the first time you convert.
The PDF is created with the pdf-lib library, downloaded from the cdnjs network the first time you create a PDF. The ZIP option loads a small ZIP library (JSZip) from cdnjs when you first use it.
Those downloads are software only and, like any web request, they show the provider your IP address. Your photos are not part of them.
The finished PDF files exist only in your browser tab until you download them. LovePDFImg does not store them, and they are gone when you close or leave the page.
If you allow analytics in the cookie settings, Google Analytics measures page visits. File names and file contents are not sent. See the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

What to know before you convert

Only the main still image is used. The video part of a Live Photo and depth information are not included.
Photo details may not be kept. EXIF data such as the date taken, camera model or GPS location is not carried into the PDF. Keep your HEIC originals if you need them.
Colors and HDR can differ. HDR extras are not carried over, so some photos may look slightly different.
Some unusual HEIC variants may not decode. Certain HDR or 10-bit photos can fail. The list marks the photos that failed, and the PDF is created from the rest.
Size limits. You can add up to 30 photos at a time, each up to 100 MB. Everything is held in your device's memory, so very large batches can be slow on phones. In browsers that read HEIC themselves, photos above about 16 megapixels are scaled down to fit the browser's image limit, and the list tells you when that happens.
HEIC only. JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and GIF files are not accepted here. The list explains which tool to use instead.
Open-source components. The converter component heic-to is licensed under the LGPL-3.0 and is loaded unmodified as a separate file. pdf-lib is licensed under the MIT license.

Frequently Asked Questions

Add your HEIC or HEIF photos, choose a page size, margin and photo quality, and click Create PDF. Each photo becomes one page, in the order shown in the list, and you can move photos up or down before creating the PDF. The finished PDF is made in your browser and downloaded to your device.

No. Your photos are read, converted and placed into the PDF by your browser on your own device. Some browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox and Edge on most computers, cannot read HEIC by themselves, so the page downloads an open-source converter component (heic-to, a pinned version) from the jsDelivr network the first time you convert. The PDF is built with a PDF library (pdf-lib) downloaded from the cdnjs network. Only these software components are downloaded. Your photos are never sent anywhere.

Yes. With the default setting, all photos go into one PDF with one photo per page. Use the up and down buttons to change the order. If you would rather have a separate PDF for every photo, choose that output option and download them individually or as a ZIP.

You can fit each photo onto an A4 or US Letter page, choosing automatic, portrait or landscape orientation, or make every page match the shape of its photo so there are no empty bars. Margins can be none, small or medium. Photos are scaled to fit inside the page without being stretched or cropped.

A PDF made from photos is usually much larger than the original HEIC files, because the photos are stored as JPG images inside the PDF. Lowering the photo quality setting makes a smaller PDF. If the result is still too big, you can shrink it afterwards with the Compress PDF tool.

No. The photos placed in the PDF do not carry over the EXIF information from the original files, such as the date taken, GPS location or camera model. Keep the original HEIC files if you need that information.

Only the main still image of a HEIC file is used, and some unusual variants, such as certain HDR or 10-bit photos, may not decode in a browser. When a photo fails, the list shows a message for that file, and the PDF is created from the other photos. Safari on an iPhone, iPad or Mac can often open variants that other browsers cannot.
