Convert HEIC Images to PDF or JPG – The Privacy-Secure Solution for Law Firms

As a lawyer, you frequently receive HEIC files from clients who have taken photos with their iPhone. But your law firm software cannot open these Apple files? MaraDocs solves this problem securely and without external converters.

What is HEIC and Why is it a Problem for Law Firms?

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) has been Apple's standard image format since iOS 11. iPhones automatically save photos as HEIC files to conserve storage space. For law firms, however, this means:

  • Your legal software cannot open HEIC files
  • Client photos of accident damage, contracts, or evidence are inaccessible
  • Time lost through manual conversion
  • Data privacy risks when using external online converters

Convert HEIC to PDF – How it Works with MaraDocs

MaraDocs automatically converts HEIC files to PDF or JPG as soon as you import them. The entire process runs encrypted on German servers – without any detour through third-party providers.

Step-by-Step: Convert HEIC to PDF

  1. Drag HEIC file into MaraDocs – Via drag & drop, email import, or WhatsApp import
  2. Automatic conversion – MaraDocs recognizes the HEIC format and converts it immediately
  3. Save PDF – Your file is available as PDF - including text recognition!

Convert HEIC to JPG – Alternative to PDF

Need a JPG format instead of a PDF? MaraDocs offers you both options:
