Put the photos of a document from your iPhone into one upright PDF, in the order you choose.
The contract you photographed is already in the camera roll; it just is not a document yet.
A lease signed on a kitchen table, a receipt, a passport page, a doctor's note, the homework of a child who forgot the sheet at school: the fastest way to keep any of them is to photograph it with the iPhone. The result is a .heic sitting between holiday snapshots, which is fine for looking at and useless for sending to an office.
Windows only draws a HEIC after two add-ons from its store, one of which is paid, and older versions never manage it; plenty of Android phones and web forms refuse the file outright, and an email portal that checks the attachment type will not accept it at all. A PDF is the opposite: every phone, PC, printer and office program opens it without a plug-in.
Photographing a six-page contract leaves six loose files in an album. In a PDF they are pages 1 to 6 in the order you chose, upright, on the paper you picked — a document the other side can file, print and forward without renaming anything.
A photographed document is only in the right order if you say so — the list in front of you is the PDF.
Files are appended in the order they arrive, and the first row becomes page 1. Pick the photos from the Photos app in the order you want them, or add the title page on its own first and the rest afterwards; each row shows a file name and size, because a browser cannot draw a HEIC thumbnail.
Each row has ↑, ↓ and ×. The arrows swap a row with its neighbour and renumber the list immediately; the cross removes it. Rows cannot be dragged — a drag is read as new files and appends them — so the buttons are the reliable way to fix the order, and they work on a phone and with a keyboard.
Take the photos, add the first batch, then use Add more for the rest: each batch lands after the previous one and keeps its own order. Nothing is converted until you press the button, so the sequence can be rearranged as often as needed. The list stops at 30 images.
Paper for something that will be printed, a fit-to-image page for something that will be placed elsewhere.
210 × 297 mm and the default, because a photographed page is nearly always going to be printed or filed on it. The photo is scaled down to fit inside the printable area, keeps its proportions and is centred, so a portrait shot of a sheet lands on a portrait page with a clean border.
216 × 279 mm, the standard sheet in the United States and Canada. Same layout rules as A4 — fitted, centred, never cropped — and the right choice when the document will be printed there or an office in that country asked for it.
The page becomes the photo itself, with no paper around it. Useful for a picture that is not a sheet of paper at all — a whiteboard, a serial number, a handwritten note — and with the margin at 0 the page measures the photo exactly.
Automatic turns each page to match its own photo, so a landscape shot of a certificate and a portrait shot of a receipt end up in the same PDF, each the right way round. Portrait or landscape forces one shape throughout. The margin is in millimetres and defaults to 10 mm on A4 and Letter — the border a printer needs — and 0 is allowed.
Room for a full document, and no surprises about the detail that ends up on the page.
Thirty pages of a photographed document is a thick document already, and iPhone photos sit well below the 25 MB per-image limit. Both numbers are checked while you add files: one that is too heavy is named and skipped and the rest stay, and passing 100 MB in total stops the intake with a message saying which limit was reached.
The pixels the camera recorded are the pixels that reach the page — a small or cropped picture is never blown up with invented detail. On an A4 or Letter page a small photo may be drawn up to 1.5× its natural size so it does not sit lost in the middle, and past that it stays as it is.
A 48 megapixel capture is scaled down to 4000 px before it goes in — across an A4 printable width that is still over 500 dpi, far more than a photographed sheet of text can use. The cap is what keeps a thirty-page PDF a file you can email instead of one that needs a file transfer service.
iPhones usually store the sensor image plus a rotation flag; that flag is applied, so pages arrive upright with the width and height to match. Only the main picture of a file is used: the motion of a Live Photo, the depth map of a Portrait shot and the extra frames of a burst do not go into the PDF, and the image is encoded once at high quality.
Three steps, no account and nothing to install.
Drop the .heic files onto the box, click it to browse, or paste with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac). Photos pulled out of iCloud or a shared album behave exactly like ones taken on the phone, and a file named .heif works too. Each one is checked against the limits as it lands.
Use ↑ and ↓ to move a page, × to remove one, then pick A4, US Letter or fit to image. Automatic orientation keeps every page the right way round; set a margin in millimetres, or 0 to fill the sheet.
The result card reports the page count and both weights, so a document that came out heavier than expected is visible before you save. One click downloads the PDF, ready for an email, a portal or a printer.
The page in the PDF is only as good as the shot, and a clean shot takes ten seconds.
A photo that catches two pages becomes one page in the PDF, and the second sheet is then cut in half. Put each sheet on its own, hold the phone parallel to it, and keep your shadow out of the frame — the converter places the picture, it cannot straighten the perspective.
Everything longer than 4000 px is scaled down anyway, so a 48 megapixel capture and a 12 megapixel one give the same page for a sheet of text. What does help is light and a flat surface: contrast comes from the shot, never from the tool.
If a form asks for a picture rather than a document, HEIC to JPG turns the photo into a file the whole world opens, and compress the image if a size limit is in the way. A single vector drawing, on the other hand, belongs on the SVG to PDF page.
Yes. There is no account, no payment, no watermark on the PDF and no cap on the number of documents you build. A short rate limit is the only restriction, and it keeps the service responsive for everybody.
Up to 30 images, at most 25 MB each and 100 MB together. A typical iPhone photo is a few megabytes, so the page count is usually what stops a list first. The limits are checked while you add files: an oversized one is named and skipped while the others stay, and passing 30 images or 100 MB ends the intake with a message.
No. Each page is the photo you took, placed on a page, so the PDF contains images and no text layer: the words on a photographed contract cannot be selected, copied or found with the search box. Turning them into searchable text would need optical character recognition, which this converter does not do.
No — only the main picture is used. A HEIC can carry the short video of a Live Photo, the depth map Portrait mode recorded, several frames of a burst and a small thumbnail; a PDF page holds a single still image, so that extra material is simply not carried over. The picture itself keeps the look it had on the phone.
Files are processed on our server and not stored. The HEIC photos are decoded, turned upright, laid out and returned as one PDF; no account is involved and the download is the only copy that leaves the conversion.
