HEIC iPhone
HEIC to PDF on iPhone
Every photo you take on iPhone is saved in HEIC format unless you have changed the camera setting. When you need to submit a photo as a PDF (for a visa application, a landlord or an insurance claim), open this page in Safari, pick the photos and save one PDF. No app, no converting to JPG first, and nothing is uploaded: Safari decodes the photos on the phone.

Security & privacy detailsHow this tool helps
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the format iPhones and iPads use for camera photos by default. It keeps photos small, but most upload forms, councils, letting agents and employers want a PDF instead, and Windows often cannot open HEIC at all. This tool turns one or many HEIC photos into a single PDF, one photo per page, without sending them anywhere. Photos are decoded on your own device: Safari on iPhone and Mac reads HEIC natively, and in Chrome, Edge or Firefox a decoder built into this page does the work locally. The rotation stored in each photo is applied, so portrait shots stay portrait. You can mix HEIC with JPG or PNG in the same PDF, choose A4, US Letter or fit-to-photo pages, and add margins for printing. Use it when you need to convert HEIC photos to JPG instead, put HEIC photos into one PDF, combine several photos into one PDF.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert HEIC to PDF on iPhone?
Open this page in Safari, tap the upload area, choose Photo Library or Browse, and select your photos. Pick a page size, tap Convert to PDF, then save the PDF to Files or share it. Everything happens in Safari on the phone.
How do I convert HEIC to PDF on Windows?
Windows often cannot open HEIC without an extra codec, but this page does not need one. Open it in Chrome or Edge, drag your HEIC files onto the upload area and convert. The first HEIC file takes a few seconds while the decoder loads; it then runs on your PC.
Can I put several HEIC photos into one PDF?
Yes. Select as many photos as you need in one go. Each photo becomes a page, in the order you add them. You can mix HEIC, JPG and PNG files in the same PDF.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The photos are decoded and converted inside your browser. PDFWhisk has no server that receives your images, which matters for ID documents, payslips and receipts.
Why does my PDF keep the photo the right way up?
iPhone HEIC files store a rotation instruction alongside the picture. The decoder applies it before the photo is placed on the page, so portrait photos stay portrait instead of turning sideways.
Is the photo quality reduced?
Photos keep their full resolution and are saved at high JPG quality inside the PDF. A dozen full-size iPhone photos can make a large PDF, so use Compress PDF afterwards if a form has an upload limit.
How do I stop my iPhone taking HEIC photos?
Go to Settings, Camera, Formats and choose Most Compatible. New photos are then saved as JPG. Photos you have already taken stay HEIC, which is what this tool is for.
