Why convert HEIC to PDF?

Each HEIC becomes its own one-page PDF. If you need multiple iPhone photos in one PDF, run them through here individually and merge with a PDF tool, or request multi-file PDF.

How it works

  1. Open the converter. Go to the Formatly converter — no signup required.
  2. Drop your HEIC files. Drag and drop one or more .heic files into the upload box (up to five files, 20 MB each).
  3. Choose PDF as the output. Pick PDF from the dropdown. The photo is rotated per its EXIF tag before being embedded.
  4. Convert and download. Click Convert; a download link appears for each PDF as it finishes, usually within a few seconds.

FAQ

Why can't Windows open my HEIC photos? HEIC is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11 — it uses the HEVC codec, which is patent-encumbered, so Windows doesn't ship the decoder by default. Wrapping the photo in a PDF sidesteps that completely: PDF readers ship with every operating system.

Will I lose quality converting HEIC to PDF? The photo inside the PDF is encoded once at the conversion step. Visible quality stays high — print/share clarity is fine. If you want absolute lossless preservation, convert HEIC → PNG first and then assemble a PDF from those.

Does the converter preserve EXIF / date taken? We use the EXIF orientation tag to rotate the image before writing it into the PDF, so iPhone photos appear right-side-up. Other EXIF fields (date taken, GPS, camera model) are not embedded in the PDF — PDF carries the rendered image, not the source metadata.

Is HEIC the same as HEIF? Close enough for everyday use. HEIF is the container format; HEIC is the HEVC-encoded flavor your iPhone produces. Both .heic and .heif extensions go through the same converter.

Is the HEIC to PDF converter free? Yes. No signup, no watermark, no payment. Up to 5 files per upload at 20 MB each.
