Why HEIC files cause so much trouble
Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos as HEIC — a modern format that halves file size at the same quality. The catch is compatibility: Windows, most web forms, many print shops and plenty of enterprise systems simply reject the file.
Wrapping the photo in a PDF solves it in one step, because PDF is accepted absolutely everywhere. This tool decodes HEIC with a WebAssembly build of libheif, then places the image on a page sized to match its own aspect ratio, so nothing is cropped and nothing is letterboxed.
How to convert
- Choose a HEIC photoStraight from an iPhone, iPad or a Mac Photos export.
- Decode locallyThe HEIC image is decoded in your browser using WebAssembly.
- Fit the pagePage orientation and size are chosen automatically from the photo dimensions.
- Download the PDFA single-page PDF at full photo resolution.
Features
- Full-resolution output, no forced downscaling
- Automatic portrait or landscape page orientation
- Photo aspect ratio preserved exactly
- HEIF files supported as well as HEIC
- No watermark of any kind
- Works on Windows, where HEIC normally cannot even be opened
Use cases
Supported files
HEIC and HEIF images from any iPhone or iPad, including Live Photo stills and HDR captures. Multi-image HEIC containers use the primary image. Regular JPEG and PNG files do not need this tool.
Privacy
Photos are personal. Decoding runs in your browser through WebAssembly, so the image is never transmitted and no thumbnail, cache or copy is stored on any server.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does converting reduce photo quality?
The photo is embedded at its original pixel dimensions. HEIC and JPEG are both lossy formats, so re-encoding costs a small amount of detail that is not visible at normal viewing sizes.
Why can Windows not open HEIC?
HEIC needs an HEVC codec that Windows does not ship by default. Converting to PDF sidesteps the codec issue entirely.
Can I combine several HEIC photos into one PDF?
Not yet — this version handles one photo at a time. Multi-file merging is planned.
Will the PDF be huge?
It is roughly the size of the decoded image. A 12 megapixel iPhone photo typically lands between two and five megabytes.
Does it work on an iPhone?
Yes, directly in mobile Safari. You can pick the photo from your library and save the PDF to Files.
