How to turn a PDF into images you can edit or post

Plenty of places — chat apps, image editors, some CMSs — accept an image but not a PDF. Rendering the pages to JPG or PNG solves that.

Pick a resolution

Screen resolution is fine for posting online. Choose the high or print option if you will crop into the image or print it, since a rasterised page cannot be sharpened later.

Export the pages

PDF to JPG renders every page and bundles the images into a ZIP.

  1. 1Open PDF to JPG and add your file.
  2. 2Choose JPG for photos and scans, PNG for line art and screenshots.
  3. 3Set the resolution.
  4. 4Download the ZIP and use the images anywhere.

Going the other way

Need to get back to a PDF afterwards? JPG to PDF rebuilds one from the edited images.

  • •PDF to JPG — pages to images.
  • •JPG to PDF — images back into a PDF.
