The formats

HEIC and PDF at a glance

  • What is a HEIC file?

    HEIC is the format iPhones and iPads save photos in by default. It stores a photo in about half the space of a JPG at similar quality, and it can hold extras like depth data. Windows, many Android apps, and most websites still struggle to open it, which is why HEIC photos often need converting before you share or upload them. It opens in iPhone, iPad, and Mac (Photos and Preview), Safari, Windows 10 and 11 with Microsoft's HEIF and HEVC extensions, and recent Android phones. Most other browsers and upload forms can't open it.

  • What is a PDF file?

    PDF is the standard format for sharing documents that should look the same everywhere. It fixes the layout, fonts, and images of every page, which is great for reading and printing but makes editing hard. A PDF can contain real text or only scanned pictures of pages. It opens in every browser, Adobe Acrobat Reader, macOS Preview, Microsoft Edge on Windows, phones, and Google Drive.

Good to know

What changes when you convert HEIC to PDF

  • Each image becomes one page, in the order you add them. You can drag files to reorder them before converting.
  • Photos are embedded as high-quality JPG and graphics with transparency as PNG, so nothing visible is lost.
  • iPhone HEIC photos are converted to high-quality JPG inside the PDF, so it opens everywhere.
  • Very large images, around 100 megapixels or more, can exceed what the browser allows, especially on phones.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is this HEIC to PDF converter free?

Yes. It's completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how many files you convert. It costs Ethical Tube nothing to run, because the conversion happens on your own device rather than on a server.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs inside your browser with pdf-lib and Mozilla's pdf.js, so your files never leave your device. Once the page has loaded, it even works offline.

Can I convert several HEIC files at once?

Yes. Add as many images as you like, then combine them into one PDF or make a separate PDF for each. Drag them into the order you want first.

Does it work on iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows?

Yes. It works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, on computers and phones.

What can open a PDF file?

Every browser, Adobe Acrobat Reader, macOS Preview, Microsoft Edge on Windows, phones, and Google Drive.

Is there a file size limit?

There's no upload limit because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: everyday files are fine, and most computers handle images up to about 100 megapixels.
