HEIC to PDF
Turn iPhone photos into PDF documents.
Photos of receipts, forms and documents often have to be sent as PDFs, and many upload forms won't take HEIC. Photos from an iPad work too.
Almost any file
Images, vector art, video, audio, documents, spreadsheets, slides, ebooks and archives: more than 400 conversions. Before anything runs, Filebender says what a conversion will lose and estimates the size of video, audio and many pictures; other files show their size once converted. It compresses PDFs, pictures and videos to the size you choose.
No ads, no watermarks
With a free account: 20 files a day, 2 of them videos, each up to 500 MB. No plan has ads, and nothing is stamped on your files. A pass is one payment that never renews, and one you haven't used can be refunded in full.
Private by default
Files are deleted an hour after converting, or at once when you ask, and photo location is removed unless you choose to keep it. Photos converted to JPG, PNG or WebP are done on your device when your browser can, so they never leave it. They still need your account and count towards your plan.
How to convert HEIC to PDF
- Create a free account with Google or your email address, or sign in.
- Choose your HEIC files: drop them on the box, pick them from your computer, open them from Google Drive, or paste a link.
- Pick the format each file should become. The gear button has size, quality and other settings.
- Press “Convert”, then download each file, or all of them in one ZIP.
What HEIC is
HEIC is the format iPhones and iPads save photos in by default. It keeps the quality of a JPG in about half the space, but many websites, forms and some Windows computers can't open it, while a PDF opens almost everywhere.
The page
Each photo becomes a one-page PDF the size and shape of the photo, turned the right way up. For a form that expects paper sizes, choose A4 or Letter in the settings and the photo is scaled to fit.
Location and camera details
Photos from a phone usually record where they were taken. Filebender removes the location, camera and date details before the photo goes into the PDF, unless you choose to keep them in the settings.
Several photos
Each HEIC becomes its own PDF, named after the photo so a batch is easy to match up, and a Live Photo becomes its still picture. To make one PDF from several photos, convert them here, then join the PDFs with Merge PDF.

Questions
Why won't HEIC photos open on my computer?
HEIC photos are compressed with HEVC, which some computers and many websites don't support. A PDF or a JPG avoids the problem.
Is the photo's quality reduced?
No: the photo keeps its full resolution on the page. The PDF can be bigger than the HEIC, because HEIC compresses photos very efficiently; the PDF Compressor can shrink it.
Can I stop my iPhone taking HEIC photos?
Yes. In Settings, then Camera, then Formats, choose Most Compatible, and new photos are saved as JPG.
Is Filebender free?
Yes, with a free account: 20 files every day (up to 2 of them videos), each up to 500 MB, with no watermark and no ads. Make the account with Google or your email address. Files converted on your device count the same way as the rest. If you need more, a Day, Week or Month Pass is one payment that never renews; see the Pricing page.
What happens to my files?
It depends on the file. Pictures your browser can convert itself, and everything you do with the PDF tools, from merging and splitting PDFs to putting photos into one, are handled on your device and never leave it, unless you choose to send a file to Filebender's servers. They still need your account: Filebender receives only their type and size, to count them against your plan like any other file. Everything else is converted on Filebender's servers on Google Cloud and deleted an hour after the conversion finishes, or straight away when you press “Delete files now”. Nobody looks at your files, and they're never used for anything else.
Is there a size limit?
With a free account, each file can be up to 500 MB (about 4 minutes of HD phone video), and a batch can have up to 20 files. Any pass takes files up to 2 GB (about 15 minutes of HD video).
