How can I convert heic to PDF on Windows 11 PC?
Hi,
I'm having some trouble with a batch of HEIC images that I transferred from my iPhone to my Windows 11 PC. Unfortunately, the Photos app on Windows 11 isn't able to open these HEIC files, and I need to convert the heic images to PDF for easier sharing and printing.
In fact, I've tried a few online HEIC to PDF Converters, but they don't work for batch conversion. Unfortunately, I still haven't found a straightforward method to convert these images to PDF. I would greatly appreciate any advice or recommendations on tools or methods to efficiently convert HEIC images to PDF.
Thank you

- One thing to note is not using the online HEIC to PDF Converter for this purpose. With online converter, there are several risks, particularly related to security and privacy. When you upload your HEIC files to an online converter, you’re essentially handing over your personal data to a third-party service. This can be risky if the files contain sensitive or confidential information, as you have no control over how your data is stored, processed, or potentially shared.
Moreover, online converters often come with limitations in terms of file size, quality, and batch processing. You may experience compressed image quality, restrictions on the number of files you can convert at once, or even watermarks on your converted PDFs. Did you know that Windows has a built-in feature that can convert HEIC to PDF? Yes, you read that right! Here's how:
1. Open File Explorer and navigate to the folder where your HEIC file is located.
2. Right-click on the HEIC file and select "Open with" > "Windows Photo Viewer".
3. Once the file opens in Windows Photo Viewer, click on "File" > "Save As" > "Save as type: PDF".
4. Choose a location to save the file and click "Save".
5. And that's it! You should now have a free converted PDF file from your HEIC file.- The HEIF Image Extensions are pretty basic. While they do a solid job of letting you open and view HEIC files, features for converting HEIF Image to PDF might not be as robust as you'd expect. You may find yourself wishing you could tweak things more—like adjusting quality or size before the conversion. I remember trying to convert some images and wanting to resize them first, but it was a hassle.
- If you decide to go the online route for converting HEIC to PDF on Windows computer, you've got to be wary of site reliability and safety. Some sites can be sketchy, and you never really know if your files are secure. I've had paranoid moments where I almost didn't want to upload anything because I wasn't sure who could see it.
- There can be a noticeable dip in quality when converting HEIC to PDF. I've had moments where I thought I was getting high-quality images, only to check the PDF later and see a bit of a drop in sharpness or color vibrancy.
While there are some tools out there for conversion, not all software handles HEIC files well. I've tried a few programs that claimed they could convert HEICs without a hitch, but they ended up crashing or just failing to recognize the files altogether.
