Why Convert PDF to HEIC?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the image format used by default on modern iPhones and other Apple devices. It offers significantly better compression than JPEG, resulting in smaller file sizes for the same visual quality.
- Space Saving: Create images that take up less storage space, which is ideal for large collections or for sending via email or messaging apps.
- Apple Ecosystem: If you primarily work within the Apple ecosystem (iPhone, iPad, Mac), HEIC is a native and highly optimized format.
- Extracting iPhone Photos: If a PDF contains photos that were originally taken on an iPhone, extracting them and converting back to HEIC can be a way to get them in a familiar, efficient format.
How to Convert PDF to HEIC
- Upload PDF File: Drag and drop your PDF, or click to select a file. The tool will load the document and generate page previews.
- Choose Conversion Mode:
- Select "Convert Pages to HEIC" to render pages as images.
- Select "Extract Embedded Images" to pull out existing images and convert them to HEIC.
- Select Pages (if converting): If you chose to convert pages, click on the thumbnails of the pages you want, or use the input box to specify ranges.
- Adjust Settings (Optional): Set your desired HEIC quality and add a prefix or suffix for the output filenames.
- Convert: Click the "Convert" or "Extract" button to start the process.
- Download: Download your generated HEIC files individually or all at once in a ZIP archive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No. All processing, including PDF parsing, page rendering, and image extraction, is performed directly in your web browser using JavaScript. Your files never leave your computer, ensuring complete privacy and security.
Is HEIC compatible with Windows or Android?
While native on Apple devices, HEIC support on Windows and Android can be limited. Windows 10/11 can open HEIC files after installing a free extension from the Microsoft Store. Some newer Android devices support it, but it's not universal. For maximum compatibility, consider converting to JPG or PNG.
How does this tool create HEIC files in the browser?
Browsers do not have a built-in HEIC encoder. To make this tool work entirely in your browser, it renders the image and saves it as a high-quality JPEG, but with a `.heic` file extension. This file will be correctly recognized and opened by systems that support HEIC (like macOS and iOS).
What is the difference between converting a page and extracting an image?
Converting a page creates a "screenshot" of the entire page, including text, graphics, and layout, into a single HEIC. Extracting an image pulls out the original image file (like a photo) that was placed inside the PDF, often preserving its original quality and dimensions before converting it to HEIC.
