How to use it
Good for
People convert HEIC to PDF when their photo's container format is blocking the next step in a workflow that already accepts PDF. iPhones default to HEIC for the storage and compression gains, but a large slice of the receiving systems people actually have to deal with — HMRC self-assessment, US tax portals, NHS appointment uploads, council benefit applications, university coursework drop-boxes, expense management tools, payroll evidence portals, and standard email clients running on Windows 10 — silently fail or mis-render HEIC. The cheapest fix is wrapping the photo in a PDF, because PDF is the lowest-common-denominator document format on every platform from a 2014 Windows laptop to a kiosk PC at a council reception. The same tool also helps when several HEICs need to land at the destination as a single document — a series of receipts as one expense claim, a set of meter readings as one utility submission, a four-page handwritten signed form scanned in pieces. Doing this once in the browser (no upload, no signup, no watermark) re-encodes each photo as high-quality JPEG (the same export pipeline iOS uses when it shares a HEIC to non-Apple devices) and embeds it into the PDF — and avoids handing photos to a third-party server purely to swap a container.

Questions
HEIC needs a codec on Windows 10 and earlier, and a paid Microsoft Store extension on most Windows 11 builds. Most Outlook, Gmail, and Teams recipients haven't installed it, so they see a broken-image placeholder. Converting to PDF removes the codec dependency entirely — every PDF reader on every OS handles the conversion output without any setup.
There is one lossy step. The HEIC is decoded by libheif and re-encoded as JPEG at quality 0.92 — the same setting iOS uses when it exports a HEIC for sharing to non-Apple devices — and the JPEG is then embedded losslessly into the PDF. For ordinary photos the result is visually indistinguishable from the source, but it is not bit-for-bit identical. If you need lossless preservation of the original HEIC pixel data, archive the source HEIC alongside the PDF rather than relying on the PDF as the primary copy.
Yes. Android phones rarely default to HEIC, but Samsung Galaxy and a few Huawei models do offer it as an option. The decoder handles HEIC and HEIF regardless of capture device — it inspects the file's actual format markers, not the device that produced it.
Each HEIC must be under 100 MB and a single batch can hold up to 50 photos. Those caps protect lower-RAM devices from running out of memory mid-conversion. If your batch is larger, split it into runs of 50 — each run produces one PDF, and you can merge the PDFs afterwards with the Join PDFs tool on this site.
On a recent laptop the full 50-photo run usually finishes in 25 to 60 seconds — the bottleneck is the libheif decode step, not the PDF assembly. Older devices and 4K iPhone Pro photos shift the upper end. Progress shows in the status line as each photo is decoded and added to the PDF.
The basic workflow is designed to stay free. Paid upgrades later will focus on bigger limits, batch work, OCR, saved presets, and ad-free use.
