Why convert HEIC to PDF?
HEIC won't open on many computers, and sending a stack of photos as one PDF is far easier for the recipient than sharing them one by one.

Turn phone photos into one document
The most common reason to convert HEIC to PDF is paperwork: photos of receipts, signed forms, ID cards or homework that a school, landlord or office wants as a single PDF. Drop all the photos at once and Localvert puts each one on its own page, in the order you selected them.
Each page is sized to its photo, so nothing is cropped and no white margins are added. Portrait and landscape photos can sit in the same PDF.
Keep the PDF small enough to send
iPhone photos are large, and a 10-page PDF of full-resolution photos can easily pass the 10–25 MB limits of email and upload forms. Open the fine-tune options and set a maximum width of around 1600–2000 px; documents stay perfectly readable and the PDF shrinks dramatically.
If the finished PDF is still too big, the Compress PDF tool can shrink the photos inside it further without touching anything else.
Tips for photos of documents
Shoot from straight above in good light and fill the frame with the page. Crop away the table edges in the Photos app before converting — the PDF uses exactly the image you give it, so a tidy photo gives a tidy page.
Is it safe?
Yes. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser, and your HEIC file is never sent to a server. Metadata such as location is also removed automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Can I choose the page order?
Pages follow the order of the files you select or drop. Rename the photos (01, 02, 03…) or select them in order to control it. You can also merge separate PDFs afterwards with the Merge PDF tool.
Is the text in the PDF searchable?
No. Each page is a picture of the document, just like a scan. The text looks sharp but can't be selected or searched.
Are my documents uploaded?
No. The PDF is built inside your browser, which matters for IDs, contracts and medical papers.
Is it really free?
Yes. Converting HEIC to PDF is free with no sign-up and no watermark. The free plan handles several files per batch; an optional premium licence removes ads and raises the limits.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Your HEIC files are read and converted by your browser on your own device. You can confirm it by opening your browser's developer tools and watching the Network tab while you convert: no file upload ever appears.
