How to turn a PDF into images to post
Updated on October 25, 2026
Social networks don’t take PDFs. To post a menu, an invitation, a flyer or slides from a presentation, each page needs to become an image. This guide shows how to do it in your browser, at the right quality for the text to stay readable.
Step by step
- Open PDF to JPG.
- Under Quality, keep Good, which works for posting.
- Tap Choose PDF and pick the file.
- Tap Convert to JPG.
- Download one page with Download or all of them with Download all, in a .zip.
The images are named after the PDF plus the page number, like “menu-page-01.jpg”, in order in your folder.
Which quality to pick
| Quality | An A4 page becomes, roughly | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Light | 830 × 1,170 pixels | Chat status and messages |
| Good | 1,240 × 1,750 pixels | Feed, carousels and stories |
| High | 1,820 × 2,570 pixels | Printing or zooming in on small text |
Social networks shrink images when you post. Uploading something bigger than needed doesn’t make it sharper; it just takes longer. Good quality is already wider than what the networks usually display.
Keep your post readable
- A4 pages are tall. In a feed, they show up cropped or small. If the PDF is yours, design the material in the post format from the start, and use PDF to JPG for things that are already done, like a menu.
- Small print disappears. For text-heavy pages, also share the PDF through a link or send it to whoever asks.
- One page per image. In a carousel, each page becomes one image, in file name order.
- Sideways page? Rotate it first with organize PDF, then convert.
On a phone
On iPhone, the .zip goes to the Files app, in Downloads: tap it and it becomes a folder with the images. To move an image to Photos, open it, tap Share and choose Save Image.
On Android, the images land in Downloads. Your gallery usually shows that folder; if it doesn’t, open it with your file manager.
Just a few pages
To post only page 3 of a 20-page PDF, separate it first with split PDF by typing “3”, and convert that one-page PDF. It’s faster, and you don’t have to hunt for the right image among the others.
The other way around
Have several images and want a PDF? Use JPG to PDF. It’s great for putting chat screenshots or photos of a document into one file.
Respect the creator
Converting a PDF that’s yours, or that you’re allowed to share, like your restaurant’s menu, is fine. Material made by another person or company, like a course book or an e-book, belongs to someone: ask for permission before posting it.
Your PDF stays on your device
The pages are drawn and saved as JPG by your own browser, in your phone’s or computer’s memory. No file goes through our server.
