HEIC to PDF について

HEIC, or HEIF, is the format iPhones and iPads use for photos by default since iOS 11. It stores a picture in about half the space of a JPEG, but many upload portals, office printers and Windows programs still won't open it, and a form that asks for "a PDF of the document" won't take it either. Here each HEIC photo is decoded on your device and placed on its own PDF page, so a receipt, a signed contract or the pages of a passport photographed with an iPhone end up in one file that any system accepts.

PDF cannot hold HEIC directly, so every photo is converted first: to a JPEG at 92% quality on a white background, or to PNG in the rare case the image has transparent parts. At normal viewing size the difference from the original is very hard to see. The photo is turned upright using its orientation information, and it keeps its full pixel size. The conversion does not carry over the photo's metadata, so the camera details, the time it was taken and the GPS location stay out of the PDF.

A HEIC file can contain several pictures, such as a burst or a depth map; only its main image is used. Live Photos contribute their still frame, not the motion. To avoid the conversion in future, set the iPhone camera to Most Compatible under Settings › Camera › Formats, and it will save JPEG instead.
