How to use it

  1. Add your HEIC photos. Drag thumbnails or use the buttons to set the page order.
  2. Choose page size: A4, Letter, Legal, or fit to image. Then orientation: portrait, landscape or auto.
  3. Set margins in millimetres and the JPEG quality used inside the PDF.
  4. Pick one combined PDF or one PDF per image, then create and download.

What it keeps

  • The whole picture on each page, scaled to fit the page inside your margins.
  • Visible orientation, since HEIC rotation is applied before the image is placed.
  • Page order exactly as shown in your list.
  • Colour that matches how the photo looks, via sRGB conversion.

What it removes or changes

  • Each image is embedded as JPEG at the quality you choose, so it is a lossy step on top of HEIC.
  • The PDF has no text layer. Photographed documents are not searchable and there is no OCR.
  • Fit-to-image makes each page the size of its photo, so pages can differ in size.
  • Metadata such as location is not carried over into the PDF.

Limits

  • A scan taken as a photo is still a photo. For readable text, shoot flat, well lit and sharp before converting.
  • Many large photos make a large PDF. Lower the JPEG quality, or reduce photos first with the resizer.
  • Limits: 200 MB per file, 100 megapixels, 200 files per batch.

Compatibility

The PDF is written by FromHEIC itself using standard JPEG images, so any reader opens it: browsers, Preview, Acrobat, phone viewers and print shops. Page sizes A4 and Letter cover most office and school forms. Some online forms cap PDF size, so check before you submit.

Privacy

Page layout and PDF writing happen in your browser. The photos are not uploaded, and nothing is sent to a server to build the file. The result is created in memory and handed to you for download.

One combined PDF or a PDF per photo

Combine when the pages belong together, such as a signed form, a receipt set or a multi-page document. Make separate PDFs when each photo goes to a different recipient or upload slot. If you also want a contact-sheet style page with several photos on it, the collage tool is a better fit than a PDF with one image per page.

Troubleshooting

The PDF is too large to email.

Lower the JPEG quality, choose a smaller paper size, or shrink the photos first with Resize HEIC.

My pages come out sideways.

Set orientation to auto, or choose portrait or landscape for all pages. Auto picks per image.

I need to search the text in the PDF.

This tool does not run OCR. The PDF holds pictures only.

Frequently asked questions

Can I reorder pages after adding them?

Yes. Drag them, or use the move buttons, before you create the PDF.

Does it read text from my photographed document?

No. There is no OCR and no text layer.

Which paper sizes are available?

A4, Letter, Legal, or fit to image, in portrait, landscape or auto.

Can I mix HEIC with JPG or PNG?

Use Images to PDF for mixed formats. This page is built around HEIC.
