Why convert HEIC to PDF?
iPhones save photos as HEIC. It's a good format for your camera roll, but many upload forms, printers and older computers can't open it.
A PDF opens everywhere. Converting your HEIC photos into one PDF makes them easy to email, print or upload. You can add receipts, documents and screenshots to the same file.

How HEIC to PDF conversion works
First, each HEIC photo is turned into a standard JPEG image. Safari does this on its own. Other browsers use a small decoder that loads only when you add a HEIC file.
Then each image is placed on its own page, using your page size, margin and fit settings. The pages are saved as one PDF file on your device.
Page options
Set these once, and they apply to every page in the PDF.
| Setting | Choices |
|---|---|
| Page size | A4, Letter, Legal or Fit image |
| Orientation | Auto, portrait or landscape |
| Margin | None, small or large |
| Image fit | Fit shows the whole photo. Fill covers the page and may trim the edges. |
| Accepted files | HEIC, HEIF, JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP |
Auto orientation gives wide photos a landscape page and tall photos a portrait page.

Tips for converting HEIC photos to PDF
Small choices make a better PDF.
- Tip 1:
Put photos in order before converting. The page order follows the thumbnails.

Use Fit image for photo albums, so pages have no white border.
- Tip 3:
Use A4 or Letter with a small margin for documents you plan to print.
- Tip 4:
Crop photos on your phone first to cut out the table or floor around a document.
- Tip 5:
Compress the PDF afterwards if an upload form has a size limit.
- Tip 6:
Photographing a document? Shoot straight down in good light to keep the text readable.

Photo PDFs can be large. After converting, run Compress PDF, or pick a size target such as 1 MB for email and upload forms.
