Why iPhone photos are HEIC — and why forms reject them
Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos as HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) when the camera is set to “High Efficiency”. The format keeps photos about half the size of a JPG at similar quality, which is why Apple uses it by default.
The catch is compatibility. Many upload forms for schools, visas, job applications and insurance claims accept only PDF or JPG, and some Windows computers cannot open HEIC without an extra codec. Converting the photos straight to PDF skips the in-between step of making JPGs first.
From iPhone camera to finished PDF
- On the iPhone itself: open this page in Safari, tap Choose photos, and pick the photos from your library. Select them in the order you want them to appear; you can still fix the order afterwards.
- On a computer: AirDrop, email or sync the photos to the computer first. They arrive as .heic files, which you can drop straight into the box.
- Check before creating: tap Preview on any photo that might be blurry. A clear photo matters more than any setting.
- Save the PDF: on iPhone the file goes to Downloads in the Files app, where you can share or attach it.
Apple’s own route is to open the photos in the Photos app, tap Share → Print, and spread the preview with two fingers to get a PDF. It works, but you have less control over the page layout; here you choose the page size and each photo is kept to a sensible resolution.
Live Photos, Portrait mode and other iPhone formats
A Live Photo is a still HEIC image plus a short video. Only the still image goes into the PDF. Photos are turned upright using the orientation the iPhone recorded, so pictures taken sideways appear the right way round.
If your iPhone is set to “Most Compatible”, your photos are already JPGs — they work here just the same, and so does the JPG to PDF page.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert HEIC to PDF?
Drop your HEIC photos into the box, put them in the order you want with the arrow buttons, choose a page size, then tap “Create PDF”. You get one PDF with one photo per page.
Can I combine several photos into one PDF?
Yes. Add as many photos as you need — HEIC, JPG, PNG and WebP can be mixed — and they all go into a single PDF in the order shown.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The PDF is created entirely in your browser on your own device. Your photos are never sent to a server.
Which page size should I choose?
“Fit to photo” makes each page the same shape as the photo with no white border — best for viewing on screen. Choose A4 or US Letter if you plan to print or a form asks for a standard page; landscape photos automatically get a landscape page.
How big will the PDF be?
Each photo is stored at up to 2400 pixels on its longest side, which prints sharply on A4 or Letter. A typical iPhone photo adds around 0.5–1.5 MB. If you need a smaller file, compress the photos first with our image compressor.
Do I need to convert HEIC to JPG first?
No. HEIC photos are decoded directly in your browser and placed in the PDF. If you also need separate JPG copies, use HEIC to JPG.
Why does the first HEIC photo take a moment?
The HEIC decoder is loaded the first time you add a HEIC photo. After that it is cached by your browser and later photos start straight away.
Can I keep the photos’ location data in the PDF?
No. Only the image itself is placed on the page; camera details and GPS location stored in the HEIC file are not copied into the PDF.
