Photographed a stack of receipts, a signed form or a portfolio on your iPhone? Turn the HEIC photos into one tidy PDF, built entirely on your device.

This tool runs entirely in the browser: photos are decoded and encoded on the visitor’s device and are never uploaded. It is free, needs no sign-up and works offline after the first visit.

## How to use it

1. Drop your HEIC photos above, in the order you want the pages to appear.
2. Choose **page size**, **orientation**, **margins** and how many **photos per page** (1, 2, 4 or 6).
3. Create the PDF and download **one combined file**, ready to email, upload or print.

## Photos in, one document out

Phones have quietly replaced scanners. You snap a receipt for an expense claim, the pages of a lease, a passport for a visa form, or your best work for a portfolio. Then the system you're submitting to asks for **one PDF**, and you're holding a pile of HEIC files.

This tool does that step for you. Drop in the photos, pick a layout and you get a single, ordered PDF that every computer, phone and upload portal can open.

## Common jobs and the settings that suit them

| Job | Page size | Photos per page | Margins |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Expense receipts | A4 or Letter | 4 or 6 | Small |
| Signed form or contract | A4 or Letter | 1 | Medium |
| ID front and back | A4 or Letter | 2 | Medium |
| Photo portfolio | Fit to image | 1 | None |
| Contact sheet | A4 landscape | 6 | Small |

Orientation can be automatic, so tall photos get portrait pages and wide ones get landscape, or you can force one for every page.

## Tips for clean-looking document PDFs

- **Order matters.** Pages follow the order of your files, so drop them in sequence or rename them first (01, 02, 03).
- **Straighten first.** A sideways photo of a form makes reviewers grumpy. Use [Rotate HEIC](https://ihateheic.com/rotate-heic) to fix orientation before creating the PDF.
- **Crop out the desk.** Trimming the background with [Crop HEIC](https://ihateheic.com/crop-heic) makes the document fill the page.
- **Watch the size limit.** Many portals cap uploads at 2 to 5 MB. Full-resolution iPhone photos add up fast, so resize them to around 1920 pixels with [Resize HEIC](https://ihateheic.com/resize-heic) before combining.

## What goes inside the PDF

Each HEIC is decoded on your device, converted to sRGB for predictable colour on screens and printers, and embedded as a JPEG at quality 85. That's sharp enough to read small print on a receipt while keeping the file sensible. The PDF itself is assembled in the browser, so nothing is uploaded to build it.

## Sensitive paperwork stays on your device

Receipts, IDs, contracts and medical forms are exactly the files you shouldn't hand to a random upload site. Here there is no upload step at all: the decoding, layout and PDF writing all happen in your browser tab. Close the tab and it's gone. If you'd rather print the photos than file them, see [converting HEIC for printing](https://ihateheic.com/convert-heic-for-printing).

## FAQ

### How do I combine multiple HEIC photos into one PDF?

Drop all the photos onto the tool at once and create the PDF. Every photo goes into a single combined document, one or more per page depending on the layout you pick.

### Can I choose A4 or US Letter?

Yes. Pick A4, Letter or Legal, or Fit to image if you want each page to match the photo's own shape with no white border.

### How do I put several photos on one page?

Set photos per page to 2, 4 or 6. That's ideal for receipts, ID card front and back, or contact sheets, and it keeps the page count down.

### Is it safe to make a PDF of my ID or bank documents here?

Yes. The PDF is created inside your browser, so your documents are never uploaded. There's no account and no copy kept anywhere.

### How big will the PDF be?

Photos are embedded as JPEG at quality 85, so each full-size iPhone photo adds roughly what a good JPG would. If a form has a size limit, compress or resize the photos first.

### Can I make a PDF from HEIC on iPhone?

Yes. Open this page in Safari, choose your photos from Photos or Files, create the PDF and save it to Files or share it straight to Mail.

### Will the colours look right when printed?

Photos are converted to sRGB for the PDF, the most widely supported colour space for printers and PDF viewers, so colours stay predictable.
