The submission format everyone accepts
Insurance claims, rental applications, visa paperwork and school forms ask for “photos as a single PDF”. This is the direct route from an iPhone camera roll to that file.

Overview
About the HEIC to PDF
Convert HEIC photos to PDF free online. Each photo is decoded with WebAssembly libheif and placed on its own A4 page — captions optional, everything processed locally.
The request arrives in a dozen forms — “attach the photos as a single PDF”, “send one document, not twenty images” — and iPhone users hit a wall immediately, because their camera roll speaks HEIC and the form speaks PDF. This tool is the direct bridge: photos in, one paginated document out.
How the document is built
Each photo is first decoded by WebAssembly libheif running in your tab, producing a JPEG at 95% quality — high enough that the printed page shows no visible loss. Those decoded images are then handed to the same page writer the JPG to PDF tool uses: one photo per A4 page, scaled to fit the margins with the aspect ratio preserved, page orientation following the photo's own.
Ordering and captions
The batch list is the page order, and it is reorderable before conversion, so a claim can run damage, receipt, correspondence in the sequence a reviewer expects. Enabling captions prints each photo's filename under its page — the contact-sheet style that makes a twenty-page document navigable.
When to take a different route
- Multiple photos per page is a layout this tool does not offer; convert to JPG first and use a layout editor if a grid is required.
- Existing PDFs to combine with the photos should be merged afterwards — the merge tool accepts the output like any other PDF.
- Archival masters should stay as HEIC or PNG; the PDF embeds lossy JPEG, which is the right trade for submission documents and the wrong one for keeping originals.
Step by step
How to use the HEIC to PDF
Drop your .heic or .heif photos onto the upload area in the order you want the pages.
Reorder the list if needed — the row order is the page order.
Optionally enable filename captions under each photo for contact-sheet style output.
Press Create PDF and download the document; each photo occupies its own page.
Why use it
Benefits and common use cases
What this tool is good for, and what it deliberately does not try to do.
Two-step, fully local
Photos are decoded with WebAssembly libheif and handed to the same page writer the JPG to PDF tool uses — no upload of the originals, no intermediate files on disk.
Order you control
The batch list is reorderable, so page order matches the story you are telling rather than the camera's filename sequence.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Short, honest answers about quality, limits and privacy.
What page layout do the photos get?
One photo per A4 page, scaled to fit the margins while keeping its aspect ratio, in portrait or landscape depending on the photo's own orientation. Captions, when enabled, sit under the image.
Why convert HEIC to PDF instead of JPG?
Because the destination asks for a document, not images. A single PDF keeps twenty photos in one attachment with a fixed page order, which is what claim forms, applications and print services expect — and it skips the intermediate JPG folder entirely.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere during conversion?
No. The HEIC decode runs as WebAssembly libheif in your tab and the PDF is assembled with pdf-lib in the same tab. The originals never touch a network connection, which matters when the photos are documents, injuries or property damage.
