HEIC to PDF Online Free — PrivaTools

TL;DR: Upload your file, click HEIC, and download the result — free, browser-based, no sign-up, no watermarks. Files are processed and discarded immediately.

Convert HEIC to PDF online for free — turn iPhone HEIC/HEIF photos into a single PDF document, no Apple device required. Bulk-convert multiple HEIC images.

HEIC to PDF is part of PrivaTools — a free, open-source alternative to iLovePDF, Smallpdf, and Adobe. Server-side tools process your file in an isolated container and discard it immediately; many tools never upload at all and run entirely in your browser.

How to HEIC to PDF with PrivaTools

  1. Upload HEIC images — Drop one or many .heic / .heif files (e.g. from iPhone photos).
  2. Choose page size — Letter or A4. Each HEIC is decoded via libheif and scaled to fit.
  3. Download the PDF — All images become one PDF, one photo per page. EXIF metadata is stripped by default.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the PDF be much larger than the HEIC?

Yes — HEIC is more efficient than JPEG. The PDF uses JPEG internally and is typically 2-3x the size of the source HEICs.

Does this preserve image quality?

Default JPEG quality is 90, which is visually indistinguishable. Lossless would require PNG-to-PDF and produce much larger files.

What happens to GPS metadata?

Stripped during conversion. Use View EXIF first if you want to record GPS coordinates before they're gone.
