What it does

Single PDF per claim

Combined mode by default. All your damage photos become one multi-page document — one upload to the portal, one filename on the claim record.

Letter portrait, claim-ready

Page size lands on US Letter, orientation forced to Portrait, fit mode Contain. The result matches what carrier portals expect: predictable, printable, easy to read.

EXIF GPS stripped by default

iPhone photos embed GPS coordinates in EXIF. The tool strips all EXIF (location, camera body, timestamps) during the decode-and-re-encode step before embedding in PDF — your home address does not travel with your claim.

High quality preset for evidence

Lands on High (Q92) so the adjuster can zoom in on damage details without JPEG artifacts. Drop to Balanced if your portal has an attachment size cap.

Photos never leave your browser

Sensitive photos — accident scenes, ID, bank statements, medical records — never touch a third-party server. Decode and PDF assembly run on your device only.

How to use HEIC Photos to PDF for Insurance Claims

  1. 1
    Photograph everything before you start the claim

    Take more photos than you think you need. The free Camera app on iPhone shoots in HEIC by default. Wide context shots, then close-ups of each damage area, plus license plates and serial numbers where relevant.

  2. 2
    AirDrop or sync to your laptop or PC

    AirDrop to Mac, iCloud Photos, or USB cable to Windows. The tool also works directly on iPhone Safari if you prefer to do everything on the phone.

  3. 3
    Drop the HEIC files here

    The tool lands in Combined mode + Letter portrait + High quality. EXIF stripping is on by default. You do not need to change anything for a typical claim.

  4. 4
    Reorder if your adjuster wants a specific sequence

    Put the wide context shots first, then close-ups. Use the up and down arrows on each card. Position numbers update live.

  5. 5
    Click Convert and attach the PDF to the carrier portal

    Single multi-page PDF, ready to upload. Save a copy to your records — the tool does not store anything once you close the tab.

When to use this

Auto accident damage

Photograph all four sides of the vehicle, the impact area, license plate, and the other driver's plate. Drop into Combined mode → single PDF named claim-2026-05-07.pdf attached straight to the carrier portal.

Property damage from storm or flood

Walk the property, photograph each affected room, ceiling, floor, and contents. Twenty photos become one twenty-page PDF report ordered however you set it.

Burglary or theft inventory

Photograph every missing or damaged item with serial numbers visible. The combined PDF becomes the inventory exhibit attached to the police report and claim.

Medical or dental claim documentation

Photograph injuries, prescriptions, receipts, and pharmacy bottles. EXIF stripping is critical here — medical photos should not carry GPS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is privacy important for insurance claim photos?

Insurance claims often involve sensitive content: home interiors, IDs, bank documents, medical injuries. iPhone photos embed GPS coordinates in EXIF — uploading raw HEICs to a third-party converter would leak your home address. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so the photos and metadata never reach an external server.

Does this strip EXIF location data automatically?

Yes. EXIF including GPS, camera body, serial number, and original timestamps are removed during the JPEG re-encode step before the image is embedded in the PDF. There is no option to preserve EXIF here — privacy is the default.

What format do most insurance portals accept?

PDF. Most carrier claim portals accept PDF up to 25 MB per attachment, sometimes 10 MB. If your combined PDF is too large, drop the quality preset to Balanced (Q82) or Small (Q65) and re-convert.

Should I send one PDF or multiple PDFs to the adjuster?

One combined PDF is almost always better. Adjusters open the file, scroll through the pages, and tag the claim record. Multiple files mean multiple uploads, multiple "did you receive my photos?" emails, and risk of the carrier filing them out of order. Combined mode is the right default for claims.

Will the PDF be timestamped or signed?

The PDF is metadata-stamped with the conversion time (CreationDate and ModDate fields), but it is not cryptographically signed. For legal evidence requiring chain-of-custody, work with your carrier on their preferred upload mechanism, which usually applies a server-side signature on receipt.
