Why this happens
What is a HEIC file, and why won't it open?
HEIC packs the same photo into about half the space of a JPG using modern video-style compression. The catch: Windows, older Android phones, and most apps outside Apple's ecosystem don't include the decoder needed to read it — so the file looks broken even though the photo is perfectly fine.
- Apple's default photo format since iOS 11, in 2017
- About half the file size of an equivalent JPG
- Windows and Android can't open it without an extra codec
Often won't open elsewhere

How it works
Convert HEIC to PDF in three steps
No installs, no accounts to create, and nothing ever leaves your device.
Step 1
Choose your HEIC photos
Drag them onto the page, browse your device, or paste straight from the clipboard. One photo or a whole camera roll, it works the same way.
Step 2
Your browser does the work
Each photo is decoded and laid out as a page using WebAssembly, right there in the page. Nothing is sent to a server.
Step 3
Download your PDF
Every photo becomes a page in one PDF, which downloads as a single document.
One folder, one document
Turn a whole folder of HEIC photos into one PDF
Choosing several photos produces a single PDF with one photo per page, in the order you selected them. That is usually the point of converting to PDF: a receipt, a set of documents, or a passport and its stamps that need to travel together as one attachment. Each page is sized to its own photo rather than forced onto A4, so a portrait phone photo does not arrive surrounded by empty margins. If you want ordinary image files instead of a document, convert to JPG instead.
- No limit on how many photos become pages
- Each page sized to fit its own photo, not forced onto A4
- Downloads as one PDF, ready to send or print
Your photos are yours. We never see them, and neither does anyone else.
Your memories are personal. Building a PDF from your photos happens entirely inside your browser, so nothing about them is ever seen by a server, by us, or by anyone else.
The real difference
Most online converters upload your photos. This one does not.
A quick look at what changes when conversion happens on your device instead of someone else's server.
| Feature | Most converters | HEIC to JPG |
|---|---|---|
| Where conversion happens | Uploaded to a server | Stays in your browser |
| Account required | Often, for larger batches | Never |
| How many photos at once | Capped on the free tier | No limit |
| Page layout | Forced onto standard paper | Sized to fit each photo |
| Cost | Free tier, then paid plans | Completely free |

Questions people ask
Quick answers to what comes up most when converting HEIC.
Why convert photos to PDF instead of keeping separate image files?
A PDF bundles several photos into one document, one photo per page, in the order you chose them. That is what you want when the photos need to travel together as a single attachment, such as a receipt, a set of scans, or a passport and its stamps. If you just want ordinary image files rather than a document, keep or convert to JPG instead.
Convert to JPG insteadWhy will my iPhone photos not open on Windows?
iPhones save photos as HEIC, a newer format that stores the same picture in about half the space. Windows does not include the decoder needed to read it by default, so the file looks broken even though the photo is fine. Converting to a format like JPG produces a copy that every device can open.
Read the full explanationAre my photos uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the photo data never leaves your device. You can confirm this yourself: open your browser developer tools, switch to the network tab, and convert a file. You will see no upload.
Does converting to PDF reduce the quality?
Slightly. Each photo is saved into the PDF as a JPEG at a fixed high quality setting, the same amount of compression as converting to JPG on the Best setting. There is no quality control for PDFs, since one setting is chosen to look right on both screen and print.
Is the photo information kept in the PDF?
No. A PDF is a document format rather than a photo library format, so the capture date, camera model, exposure settings, and location are not carried into it. If you need those details preserved, convert to JPG or PNG instead and keep those files alongside the document.
Will my photos come out sideways?
No. Rotation is read from the original file and applied to the image itself, then the rotation flag is cleared so viewers do not turn it a second time. This is the most common fault in converters, so it is handled deliberately here.
How many photos can I convert at once?
You can select as many as you like and they are converted one after another. Because the work happens in your browser, very large batches of high resolution photos can exhaust the memory a tab is allowed to use, particularly on phones. If a file fails, convert in smaller groups.
Read the full batch conversion guideDo I need to install anything or create an account?
No. There is nothing to install, no account to create, and no watermark on the result. The page works in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone.
Can I combine HEIC photos into a PDF without using a converter like this one?
On a Mac, Preview can export a single HEIC photo as a PDF, and the Print dialog's Save as PDF option can combine a handful of open photos manually. Windows has no built in way to combine several photos into one PDF at all. Neither offers a straightforward way to turn a whole folder into one ordered document, which is the gap this page fills.
How do I stop my iPhone saving photos as HEIC?
Open Settings, tap Camera, then Formats, and choose Most Compatible. Your iPhone will save new photos as JPG instead. Photos already taken stay in HEIC, so you will still need to convert those.
What happens with Live Photos?
A Live Photo stores a short video alongside the still image. Only the still image is converted, which is the frame you see in your photo library. The motion is not included, because none of these formats can store it.
