Why HEIC photos need converting first
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Format) is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. Most PDF tools and older software can't open it directly. Scanto converts HEIC to JPEG automatically before processing, so you don't need a separate converter step.
Straighten the page after converting
Once your HEIC photo is converted, drag the four corner handles onto the document's edges to correct any perspective distortion from photographing at an angle.
Everything stays on your iPhone or computer
The HEIC-to-JPEG conversion and PDF export both run locally in Safari or Chrome — your photo is never uploaded to a server, which matters if it's an ID, a form, or anything else sensitive.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a HEIC file?
- HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on iPhones since iOS 11. It compresses images more efficiently than JPEG, but isn't supported everywhere.
- Can I convert HEIC photos to PDF without installing anything?
- Yes. Choose your HEIC photo in Scanto, and it's automatically converted and ready to straighten and export as a PDF, right in your browser.
- Is my HEIC photo uploaded to a server during conversion?
- No. The HEIC-to-JPEG conversion runs locally using a WebAssembly library in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device.
- Does this work on iPhone Safari?
- Yes. Scanto is tested to work in Safari on iPhone as well as Chrome on Android and desktop browsers.
