HEIC to PDF wraps a phone still in a one-page PDF a form can accept. Each HEIC or HEIF photo becomes its own document, with a JPEG at quality 0.92 placed on a page the size of the image. The page width and height follow the picture, with one pixel treated as one point, so the PDF looks like the photo. Paper size is chosen when you print, in the print dialog, or later when you place the PDF into a layout that already has margins. Several photos are welcome. Each one converts alone, and on the free plan each file counts toward eight a day, at 12 MB each. Pro raises the cap to 100 MB per file. A file over about 4 MB uses the dedicated server when that server is available. On the server the long side stays within 4000 pixels, and the JPEG is quality 92. A mov from a Live Photo stays out of this converter. Convert the still. These PDFs stay separate. Join them afterward with Merge PDF if the form wants one attachment, and drag that list into reading order. The page holds a picture, so handwriting stays handwriting. The privacy policy covers uploads with deletion typically within 1 hour and no later than 24 hours. Keep the HEIC if you might crop or reprint later.

One photo, one PDF page

The useful result is a PDF a form will accept, with the photo filling a page the size of the image. Paper size is chosen when you print.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add a HEIC or HEIF still

    Several photos are fine, and each one becomes its own one-page PDF. A mov sitting next to a Live Photo is a video, so add the still. On the free plan each file counts toward eight a day and stays within 12 MB. Pro allows 100 MB per file.

  2. 2

    Convert to a one-page PDF

    The photo is encoded as a JPEG at quality 0.92 and placed on a page the size of that image, one pixel per point. Paper size is chosen when you print. Files over about 4 MB use the dedicated server when it is available, with the long side kept within 4000 pixels and JPEG quality 92.

  3. 3

    Download and check the photo

    Open the PDF and confirm the picture is the one you meant to send. The HEIC on your device stays where it was. Uploads follow the privacy policy, with deletion typically within 1 hour and no later than 24 hours. Merge the separate PDFs afterward if the form wants a single attachment.

Use cases

A form that rejects image files

Wrap the HEIC as a PDF page the upload filter will take. The picture stays a picture. Handwriting and signs remain part of the photo, because this page is a wrapper, separate from OCR.

A few application photos

Convert the stills the checklist named. Each file becomes its own PDF and, on the free plan, counts toward eight a day at 12 MB each. Join them with Merge PDF if one attachment is required.

A photo you may reprint later

Quality 0.92 is a high JPEG encode, and it is still lossy. Keep the HEIC for a later crop. The PDF is the copy you send. Paper size is chosen when you print.

A PDF page that matches the photo

Expecting Letter, A4, or margins

The page matches the image, one pixel per point. Paper size is chosen when you print, or when you drop the PDF into a layout that already has margins. This converter has no paper-size picker and no margin slider.

A stack that should be one file

Each HEIC or HEIF becomes its own one-page PDF. This page leaves them separate. Merge PDF joins those pages after you have them, in the order you drag. A mov from a Live Photo stays out of the conversion.

Trust & privacy

A fixed JPEG inside the page

The embedded photo is JPEG quality 0.92 on the standard path. On the dedicated server, files over about 4 MB keep the long side within 4000 pixels and use JPEG quality 92. There is no extra crush slider on the page.

Uploads follow the privacy policy

Free files are 12 MB each, eight a day, and each still counts on its own. Pro is 100 MB per file. Deletion is typically within 1 hour and no later than 24 hours. Keep the HEIC on your side.
