Convert iPhone HEIC Photos to JPG or PDF Easily
Why iPhone photos come in HEIC format, and how to convert them to universally compatible JPG or bundle them into one PDF — all with full privacy.
What is HEIC and why does iPhone use it?
A few years ago, iPhone began saving photos in HEIC format by default instead of JPG. The reason is that HEIC stores the image at comparable quality but a much smaller size, saving significant space on your device. The problem is that this format is relatively new and unsupported on Windows and Android devices and many websites, so you struggle to open or upload your photos in many places.
Converting HEIC to JPG for universal compatibility
If you want plain photos that open anywhere, the solution is converting HEIC to JPG. Open the HEIC to JPG tool, upload your photos, and you'll get JPG copies compatible with all devices and sites. The quality difference between HEIC and JPG is practically negligible and unnoticeable in everyday use, while the compatibility you gain makes the conversion worthwhile.
Bundling iPhone photos into a PDF
Sometimes you don't want separate photos but one document — like when you've photographed a contract or a set of receipts and need to send them formally. In that case, use the HEIC to PDF tool, which converts your photos directly into one tidy PDF that opens on any device.
In both cases, decoding HEIC and building the file happen entirely inside your browser. Your personal camera-roll photos are never uploaded to any server, which matters especially with private images.
