You can save the images as JPEG on iPhone and transfer them to Windows PC. By doing this way, open the Photos app and save them to PDF. You don't need any HEIC to PDF converter anymore. However, there is no bulk conversion option available in Windows 11 or Windows 10 and no advanced settings. Please be noted!

    Ellieio HEIC is a widely used image format by iPhone and digital cameras. Unfortunately, Windows OS does not have native support for .heic extension, even the latest Windows 11. This means there is no built-in free HEIC to PDF converter available on Windows. However, you can keep the newly taken photos on iPhone as JPEG.

     

    To keep images as JPEG on an iPhone, you can change the camera settings to capture photos in JPEG format instead of HEIC (High Efficiency). Here's how:

     

    1. Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.
    2. Scroll down and tap on "Camera."
    3. Tap on "Formats."
    4. Select "Most Compatible": Choose "Most Compatible" instead of "High Efficiency." This setting ensures that photos are saved as JPEG files instead of HEIC.

    By selecting "Most Compatible," your iPhone will save photos in JPEG format, which is widely supported across various devices and platforms.
