What Is a HEIC File?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is Apple's standard photo format for iPhones and iPads running iOS 11 or later. It offers powerful compression while preserving high-quality image data, using HEVC (H.265) encoding. While excellent in performance, it lacks full compatibility across platforms, especially on older Windows devices or certain web-based platforms.
What Is a PDF?
PDF (Portable Document Format) is a universal file type that preserves the formatting and layout of content. Originally developed by Adobe, PDFs are widely used for documents, portfolios, and image presentations. PDF files can contain text, images, annotations, and more-and are viewable on virtually any device.

Why PDFs Are Better for Sharing HEIC Files
Most HEIC files are unreadable by default in Windows, Android, or legacy browsers. PDFs are trusted by millions of platforms and tools, and they're optimized for printing, sharing, email attachments, and document viewers. They also preserve quality when zoomed or annotated.
Performance - Maximum Upload Size
Each HEIC file can be up to 100 MB. You can upload multiple files at once. Conversion speed depends on image size, but most conversions complete within seconds. Limit large batches to 50 files or fewer to avoid timeout errors.
Security and File Privacy
Your files are not stored or reused. We use temporary memory and delete all files after conversion. Your privacy is 100% protected-no data is sent to external services or retained for analytics.
Common Questions
Can I combine all my HEICs into one PDF?
Currently, each HEIC is converted into a single-page PDF. We're working on adding a "combine all into one PDF" option for image portfolios and grouped outputs.
Do the converted PDFs preserve the image quality?
Yes. Images are embedded using high-resolution settings, avoiding compression unless the HEIC itself is low quality.
Does this tool work on mobile?
Yes, it's fully mobile responsive. Upload from iPhone, Android, or tablet.
Is there a watermark?
No. All outputs are watermark-free, regardless of the number of files or sessions.
Can I add metadata to the PDF?
Currently no, but we're exploring an advanced export mode where you can add title, author, and description tags for PDFs.
