How do I convert a PDF file to HEIC?

Select your PDF file using the upload button. Choose HEIC as the output format. You can adjust the resolution (DPI) and image quality if needed. Click 'Convert' and wait for the tool to rasterize each page into a HEIC image. Finally, download your converted HEIC files.

Why should I convert a PDF to HEIC?

HEIC uses modern HEVC compression, so it produces much smaller files than PDFs containing high-resolution images. HEIC is natively supported on Apple devices, making it ideal for photos and documents in the Apple ecosystem. Converting PDF pages to HEIC also turns each page into an image that's easier to edit, share, or embed in other applications.

What happens to the text, vectors, and transparency when converting PDF to HEIC?

HEIC is a raster format, so all vector elements—text, lines, and shapes—are flattened into pixels. Each PDF page is rendered at your chosen DPI (default 300) to preserve sharpness. Transparent backgrounds are carried over because HEIC supports an alpha channel. However, hyperlinks, annotations, and vector editability are lost, and colors are converted to the sRGB profile.
