Convert HEIC to PDF privately
iPhone photos often arrive as HEIC. You can turn them into a shareable PDF without sending the images to a convert farm. Bento Tools does the work in your browser — free, with no account.
Why HEIC shows up
Apple devices commonly capture stills as HEIC (or HEIF) to save space while keeping quality. Many email clients, Windows PCs, and forms still expect JPG or a multipage PDF. Converting yourself — on the same device — keeps travel, medical, and work photos out of someone else’s upload queue.
How Bento Tools keeps it private
The Images → PDF tool runs conversion in the browser (including client-side HEIC handling when the format is supported). Your photos are not uploaded for the conversion step. You download the PDF when you are ready; the server never needs the file to build it.
For the full story of what stays local and what can still use the network (loading the app, optional analytics, voluntary feedback text), see Privacy & about.
Steps: HEIC photos → one PDF
- Open Images → PDF on Bento Tools.
- Drop or choose HEIC files (JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF work too if you are mixing formats).
- Reorder pages if needed, check the full-screen preview, and pick a page size (fit / A4 / US Letter).
- Download the PDF. It is built on this device, then saved by you.
Tips that avoid headaches
- Large photos — Bento Tools may downscale oversized images on export so phones do not run out of memory. That is still local processing.
- Unsupported HEIC edge cases — some exotic variants fail in the browser. You’ll get a clear error rather than a silent cloud retry.
- Order matters — arrange images before download if receipts or document photos need a fixed sequence.
