How to turn HEIC photos into one PDF

Think of this as two steps done in a row: each HEIC photo is decoded to a JPEG, and then the pictures are placed on PDF pages. You only need to make the page choices.

  1. Add your .heic or .heif photos by dropping them on the box, pasting, or clicking to browse. The order shown in the list is the page order.
  2. Use the up and down arrow buttons beside a file to move it, or the remove button to take it out, until the sequence is right.
  3. Choose a Page size: A4, US Letter, or Same size as each image. Then choose an Orientation: Match each image, Portrait or Landscape.
  4. Set the Margin to None, Small (6 mm), Medium (13 mm) or Large (19 mm).
  5. Press Create PDF, wait while the photos are processed, then press Download. A batch of several photos is saved as images.pdf, with one page for each.

Picking page settings that suit the job

The three page controls change how a photo sits on the paper, so a few minutes of thought here saves a reprint later. Every photo is scaled to fit inside the page area without being stretched, and it is centered, so a portrait photo on a landscape page leaves empty bands at the sides.

GoalSuggested settings
Form or portal that expects a standard paper PDFA4 or US Letter, Match each image, Small margin
Receipts and document photos in one fileA4 or US Letter, Portrait, Medium margin
Photo set to view on a screenSame size as each image, None
Pages you will print and hole-punchLarge (19 mm) margin on the paper size of your printer

With Same size as each image the page takes the shape of the photo plus the margin, so the pages may all differ. That suits a slideshow-style PDF but not a form that wants a uniform paper size. Match each image turns a wide photo sideways automatically, which is why a mixed pile of upright and sideways shots still fills the page sensibly.

What the finished PDF contains

Be clear about what you are making. The PDF holds pictures of your pages, not text. If you photograph a printed letter and convert it, the letters in the PDF cannot be selected, searched or copied, because the tool does not read the words. For a signed form or a receipt that someone only needs to look at, that is fine. For a long document that must be searchable, you would need a separate text recognition step.

Each photo is re-encoded as a JPEG at high quality (92) before it goes into the PDF, so it is no longer the original HEIC data. Modern iPhone pictures are large, and a PDF built from ten of them can reach tens of megabytes, because the tool has no compression slider. If a portal rejects the file for size, convert fewer or smaller photos, or lower the resolution of the originals first. There is also no password option and no per-page margin.

A photo that was taken sideways may need turning. If a page ends up the wrong way round, fix the finished file with Rotate PDF. Everything runs on your device, which matters when the photos show ID cards, bills or medical paperwork.

Practical uses and what to do next

People mostly arrive here because an upload form says PDF only and the files on their phone are HEIC. A few common cases:

  • Insurance and expense claims. Photograph each receipt, add them in date order and send one file instead of ten attachments.
  • Applications and forms. Proof of address, a signed page, a certificate, all in one PDF with a clear page order.
  • School and homework. A teacher who accepts only PDF gets a tidy file of your handwritten pages.
  • Sharing a set of photos. One file is easier to forward than a dozen, and it prints as expected.

If you already hold JPG or PNG pictures instead, the image to PDF converter uses the same page controls. Should you later need to join this PDF with another document, Merge PDF will do that. For plain image copies of the photos rather than a PDF, the HEIC to JPG converter is the direct route.

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

The questions people ask most, answered in plain words.

Can I put several HEIC photos in one PDF?

Yes. Add all the photos, arrange them with the arrow buttons, and press Create PDF. Each photo gets its own page in the order shown in the list. A batch is saved as images.pdf, and nothing is uploaded because the work happens in your browser.

What page size should I choose for a form upload?

Choose A4 or US Letter with Match each image, since most portals expect standard paper. A4 is the usual size outside North America and US Letter is common inside it. Use Same size as each image only when page shape does not matter.

Will the text in my photographed document be searchable?

No. The PDF contains pictures of the pages, so the words cannot be selected, copied or searched. The tool does not do text recognition. It suits receipts and signed pages that people only need to view, not long documents that must be searched.

Why is my PDF so large?

iPhone photos have many pixels, and each one is stored as a high-quality JPEG inside the PDF with no compression slider. Ten photos can reach tens of megabytes. If an upload form has a size limit, convert fewer photos at a time, or shrink the pictures first with an image compressor before building the PDF.

Does the PDF keep the original HEIC files?

No. Each HEIC is converted to a JPEG at quality 92 and the JPEGs go into the PDF, so the original data is not embedded. Your HEIC files on the phone are untouched. Keep them as your masters in case you want a different layout later.
