QuickMergeConvert HEIC to PDF
Turn iPhone photos into a PDF — one photo per page, several photos in one document, at A4, Letter or sized to the image. The photos are decoded and the PDF is assembled in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
How do I convert HEIC photos to a PDF?
Drag HEIC photos here
or click to browse — .heic, .heif and .jpg, several at a time
Why HEIC photos need converting before they become a document
HEIC is what an iPhone writes by default, and it is genuinely a better format than JPEG — roughly half the file size at the same visual quality. The cost is that a great deal of software has never heard of it. Insurance portals, expense systems, university submission pages, print shops and most Windows applications will take a PDF without complaint and reject a .heic outright, which is why converting HEIC to PDF comes up far more often than the format's age would suggest.
The usual reason is not one photo but several. Receipts for an expense claim, pages of a document photographed rather than scanned, evidence for a warranty claim, a passport and a utility bill for an identity check — all of these need to arrive as one file that a person can page through, and a folder of images does not. That is what this page is for: each photo becomes a page, in the order you arrange them, in a single PDF.
Page size, and when it matters
A4 and Letter place each photo on a standard sheet with a small margin, which is what you want for anything that might be printed or that has to look like a document. The page follows the photo's orientation, so a portrait photo gets a portrait page rather than being shrunk to fit a landscape one. Fit-to-image makes each page exactly the size of the photo it holds, with no margin at all — better for a photo album or a set of screenshots, worse for anything going to a printer.
What happens to the photo
The HEIC is decoded and re-encoded as JPEG at high quality before being placed in the PDF, because PDF has no native HEIC support. That is one lossy step, and at the quality used here it is not visible in normal viewing. If you need the images themselves rather than a document, the HEIC converter produces JPG, PNG or WebP files instead. If the finished PDF is too large to email, compress it — photo-heavy PDFs compress well.
Nothing is uploaded
Decoding and PDF assembly both happen in this browser tab. That matters more than usual for camera-roll photos, which carry EXIF metadata including the GPS coordinates of where each was taken. The PDF built here does not carry that EXIF forward, but the originals on your device still have it — strip it before sharing the images themselves.
Next steps
Before this step
- convert the photos to JPG instead — when you want image files rather than a document.
What to do with the result
- compress the finished PDF — photo-heavy documents shrink a long way.
- merge it with other documents — to submit one file rather than several.
- strip location data from the originals — camera-roll photos carry the coordinates they were taken at.

Frequently asked questions
Drop the photos above, choose a page size and download. Each photo becomes one page, in the order shown, in a single PDF. Everything happens in your browser, so there is no upload and no account.
Yes — that is the main use. Select them all at once or add them in batches, remove any you did not mean to include, and the finished document has one photo per page in that order.
A4 or Letter for anything that might be printed or that needs to look like a document; the page follows each photo's orientation, so portrait photos get portrait pages. Fit-to-image sizes each page exactly to its photo with no margin, which suits an album or a set of screenshots.
There is one lossy step: the HEIC is decoded and re-encoded as JPEG at high quality, because PDF cannot hold HEIC natively. It is not visible in normal viewing. Nothing is downscaled — the photo goes in at its full resolution.
Because they are HEIC and the form only accepts JPG or PDF. Converting to PDF here satisfies anything that takes documents; converting to JPG satisfies anything that wants an image.
No fixed limit, since nothing is uploaded and there is no server quota. The practical ceiling is your device's memory — decoding produces a full-resolution bitmap per photo, so a very large batch on an older phone is better done in two runs.
No. Decoding and PDF assembly both run in this browser tab. That matters for a camera roll, which carries the GPS coordinates of where each photo was taken alongside the picture.
