What it does

No HEIF extension required

Windows refuses to open HEIC by default and pushes you to a paid Microsoft Store extension. This tool decodes HEIC entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — no install, no purchase.

US Letter by default

The page lands on Letter (8.5 × 11 in) instead of A4, matching the default page size in every Windows printer dialog.

Works in Edge, Chrome, and Firefox

Tested on the last two stable releases of Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox on Windows. No browser-specific feature flags needed.

Drop straight from File Explorer

Drag HEIC files from File Explorer onto the page, or click to browse. Works with files synced from iPhone via iCloud for Windows, AirDrop on a Mac, or USB transfer.

How to use Convert HEIC to PDF on Windows 10 and 11

  1. 1
    Get your HEIC files onto your Windows PC

    Use iCloud for Windows (Photos folder), USB cable from iPhone, AirDrop to a Mac and then transfer, or Google Drive / OneDrive sync. Email also works for small batches.

  2. 2
    Open File Explorer and drag the HEIC files

    Drag one or more .heic files from File Explorer onto the drop zone above. Or click the drop zone to open the file picker and select them.

  3. 3
    Stick with Letter or switch to A4

    Letter is the Windows default and what your printer expects. If you need A4 (international) or Legal, change it in Options.

  4. 4
    Click Convert and the PDF downloads to your Downloads folder

    The PDF lands in your default Downloads folder. Open it in Edge, Chrome, Acrobat, or any PDF viewer — no extra software needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need the HEIF Image Extension from the Microsoft Store?

No. The HEIF extension is only needed if you want Windows Photos and File Explorer to display HEIC thumbnails and previews natively. This tool decodes HEIC entirely in the browser — you can convert without ever installing the extension.

Why does Windows not open HEIC files natively?

HEIC uses HEVC (H.265) compression, which carries patent licensing that Microsoft does not bundle into Windows by default. The HEIF Image Extension is Microsoft's licensed decoder. This tool uses an open-source WebAssembly decoder running entirely in your browser, so the licensing question does not apply to single-use viewing or conversion.

Will this work on Windows 10?

Yes. Any modern browser (Edge, Chrome, Firefox last two stable releases) on Windows 10 or 11 works. The browser handles all the heavy lifting; the OS just provides the file picker.

How do I get HEIC files from my iPhone to my Windows PC?

Easiest: iCloud for Windows — install it from the Microsoft Store and your iPhone's photo library appears as a folder. Other options: USB cable + File Explorer (the iPhone shows up under "This PC"), Google Drive or OneDrive sync, or email for small batches.

Is the file uploaded to a server?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser. You can verify this by opening DevTools (F12) → Network tab → drop a HEIC → click Convert. Zero outbound requests carry your photo data.
