HEIC to PDF

Skipping the JPG step

iPhones save photos as HEIC by default, and most upload portals that ask for a PDF won’t take HEIC. The usual workaround is to convert each photo to JPG and then combine them. Here you select the HEIC files directly and get the PDF in one step.

On an iPhone, tap the file picker, choose Photo Library, and select several photos. On a Mac, drag HEIC files in from Finder or the Photos app. Decoding HEIC in the browser takes a second or two per photo, longer on older phones.

For cleaner document pages

Photos of paper include the table, shadows and a slight angle. If the PDF needs to look like a proper scan, use the document scanner instead: it detects the page edges, straightens the perspective and offers black-and-white filters, and also exports a PDF.
