HEIC to PDF Converter
Convert High Efficiency Image Container (HEIC) files to PDF right in your browser. Free, unlimited batch, and your photos never leave your device.
Your files never leave your device — conversion runs locally in your browser.
To convert HEIC to PDF, drop your iPhone photos above — conversion runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded. With merge enabled (the default) every photo becomes one page of a single PDF, in the order you added them; switch it off for one PDF per photo. Ideal for submitting photos as documents.
Honest limits
- Converts from HEIC only — this site can't create HEIC files.
- Photos embed in the PDF as high-quality JPEG; HDR gain maps are dropped (SDR).
- Transparency flattens onto white inside the PDF.
Need more than a browser can do? Desktop browsers go further than phones — and Media Moana converts at scale on hosted infrastructure.
How it works
Drop your files
Drag HEIC files into the drop zone, click to browse, or paste from the clipboard. Whole folders work too.
Convert locally
Each file is decoded and re-encoded to PDF right in your browser — no upload, no queue. Adjust quality or size first if you like.
Download
Save converted files one by one, or download the whole batch as a ZIP. Originals stay untouched on your device.
About the formats
HEIC — High Efficiency Image Container
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the format iPhones and iPads have used by default since iOS 11. It compresses photos with the HEVC video codec, producing files roughly half the size of an equivalent JPEG at the same quality. The catch: many websites, Windows apps, upload forms and older software still refuse HEIC files, which is why converting to JPG or PNG remains so common.
PDF — Portable Document Format
PDF is the universal document format — the expected file type for forms, contracts, receipts, applications and anything that gets printed or officially submitted. Converting photos into a PDF (one image per page) is the standard way to turn pictures of documents into something an upload portal or office workflow will accept.
Frequently asked questions
Is this safe? Do my photos get uploaded?
No upload happens — ever. Converting HEIC to PDF runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device, nothing is stored on any server, and the tool even keeps working if you go offline after the page loads. That's also why there are no file size limits, no queues and no sign-up.
Does converting HEIC to PDF lose quality?
No. PDF is a lossless format, so every pixel decoded from your HEIC file is preserved exactly. The trade-off is file size: PDF files are larger than lossy formats like JPG.
Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?
Yes — drop in as many files as you like. Because conversion happens on your own computer instead of a server, there is no per-file fee, no daily cap and no waiting in line. Files are processed one after another, and you can download each PDF file as it finishes or grab the whole batch as a single ZIP.
Can I combine several HEIC photos into one PDF?
Yes. With the “merge into one PDF” option enabled (the default), every photo you drop in becomes a page of a single PDF, in order. Turn it off to get one PDF per photo instead.
Will HDR iPhone photos look different in PDF?
Slightly, on HDR screens. iPhones store HDR as a gain map riding alongside a regular image; the PDF output keeps the regular (SDR) rendering and drops the gain map, so the photo looks like the standard version of itself rather than the extra-bright HDR preview. Resolution and detail are untouched.
Is there a file size or quantity limit?
There is no hard limit. Server-based converters cap uploads because your files consume their bandwidth and CPU; here converting HEIC to PDF happens on your machine, so the only practical limit is your device's memory. Desktop browsers comfortably handle very large files and big batches.
