How do I convert HEIC files to PDF?

Click the upload button and select one or more .heic images. Choose your preferred page size (A4, Letter, etc.) and orientation. If you upload multiple files, decide whether to merge them into a single PDF or keep them as separate PDFs. Press 'Convert' and download your finished PDFs instantly.

Why should I convert HEIC to PDF instead of keeping the original?

HEIC is Apple's default format based on HEVC compression; it often fails to open in older applications and non-Apple devices. PDF is a universal standard that renders correctly everywhere—Windows, macOS, Linux, and browsers. It also lets you combine multiple images into one document, making sharing and archiving easier.

What happens to image quality, transparency, and metadata when converting HEIC to PDF?

The converter decodes the HEVC bitstream and re-encodes it as a high-resolution raster inside the PDF. Pixel dimensions and embedded color profiles (like Display P3) are preserved. If a HEIC has an alpha channel, it is stored as an intact PNG layer within the PDF, so transparency isn't lost. EXIF metadata such as camera settings and geotags is also retained.
