How to Convert HEIC Images to PDF on iPhone, Mac and PC

Convert Apple HEIC photos from your iPhone or Mac into universally compatible multi-page PDF documents for official submissions and email sharing.

Quick Summary

To convert HEIC images to PDF on iPhone, select photos in the Photos app, tap Share > Print, then pinch outward on the preview to generate a standard PDF file.

The Compatibility Problem with Apple HEIC Photos

Since iOS 11, iPhones and iPads default to capturing photos in HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) format. While HEIC saves significant device storage space, external platforms frequently reject it:

Official Australian portals (myGov, ATO, Medicare, universities) refuse .heic uploads.
Windows PCs without paid HEVC codec extensions cannot open HEIC photos.
Converting your photos into a standard PDF document resolves compatibility instantly while packaging multiple pages into a single file.

Method 1: Convert HEIC to PDF on iPhone (No Apps Needed)

Open the Photos app on your iPhone or iPad.
Tap Select in the top right and choose the photos you want to convert.
Tap the Share button in the bottom-left corner.
Scroll down and tap Print.
On the print preview screen, pinch outward with two fingers on any photo thumbnail. This immediately transforms the print preview into a multi-page PDF document.
Tap the Share icon at the top and select Save to Files.

Method 2: Convert HEIC to PDF on Windows, Mac, or PC with WebToolsHub

Open WebToolsHub's private HEIC to JPG converter to unpack the HEIC containers into high-resolution JPGs.
Open our Image to PDF tool.
Upload the converted JPG files, arrange them into chronological order, and click Convert to PDF.
