Convert PDF to JPG on iPhone

How to convert PDF to JPG on iPhone

1. Open Scanfone and import the PDF, or open a document you already scanned.
2. Delete or split off any pages you don't need as images.
3. Choose Convert and pick PDF to JPG.
4. Share the images, or save them where you need them.

When you need a PDF as an image

PDF is the right format for documents, but not every place accepts it. Some upload forms only take images. Messaging apps preview a picture right in the chat, while a PDF sits there as an attachment nobody opens. Slides, notes apps and social posts want images, not documents.

Converting PDF to JPG solves all of these. Each page becomes an image you can drop wherever a photo goes: a ticket shown on screen at the door, a floor plan in a group chat, a page of a menu in a message, a certificate in a profile.

Convert PDF to JPG for free

In Scanfone, PDF to JPG is a free conversion. No credits, no daily limit, no ads and no "export is a premium feature" message at the last step. It works on documents you scanned with Scanfone and on PDFs you import from Files, Mail or another app.

There's also no account. You don't hand over an email address to convert a page. The conversion happens on your iPhone, and nothing is uploaded unless you turn on Pro sync.

Pick only the pages you need

Most of the time you need one or two pages, not the whole document. Before converting, delete the pages you don't need in a copy, or use split PDF to pull out just the pages you want. That way you don't end up sending someone forty images when they asked for one.

If the page holds private details, redact the PDF first. Images get forwarded, screenshotted and saved far more casually than documents, so it's worth hiding account numbers and addresses before they become a picture.

PDF to JPG, text or Word: which to choose

Images are perfect for looking at, but you can't search or copy text from a JPG easily. If you need the words, PDF to text or copying text from the searchable PDF is the better route. Scanfone's OCR text recognition makes scans searchable so that works even for paper documents.

Start from paper

No PDF yet? Scan the page with Scanfone's PDF scanner. Apple's document camera finds the edges and fixes the perspective, and filters such as Color, Gray and Black & white clean it up. Then convert the page to JPG and it looks like a proper scan, not a photo of a desk.

Free PDFs get one small line under each page that says "Scanned free with Scanfone", never a watermark over the content. Scanfone Pro removes it and adds sync between your phones and a 1 TB cloud backup for $2.99 the first year, then $19.99 a year.
