How to convert HEIC photos to a PDF
Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos as HEIC to save space. The rest of the world — upload forms, Windows PCs, most websites — still expects JPG or PDF. Converting HEIC to PDF solves both: a format everything opens, bundled into one document.
HEIC and HEIF photos are converted locally, then added to a PDF.
Up to 50 MB per file. Files are processed in your browser.

Why the form rejected your photo
HEIC support is patchy outside Apple devices. A portal that says 'upload a PDF or JPG of your ID' will refuse a .heic file outright, and renaming the extension does not change what is inside the file. Converting properly is the only reliable route.
Convert on the device you have
The tool below runs in the browser, so it works on the iPhone that took the photos, or on any computer you AirDrop them to. Add the HEIC files, order them if there are several, and get a single PDF back — ready for the upload form that rejected the originals.
Because conversion happens on your device, photos of IDs, documents and receipts are never sent to a server.
Stop it happening again
- iPhone: Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible shoots JPG instead of HEIC.
- JPG files are larger, but they upload everywhere without conversion.
- Keep HEIC for personal photos where the space saving matters.

Frequently asked questions
- Will the photo quality drop?
- The conversion keeps the full resolution of the original photos; the PDF is as sharp as the HEIC files you started with.
- Can I convert HEIC to JPG instead?
- Yes — use the image converter if you need JPGs; use this when the destination wants a PDF document.
