How to Convert PDF to JPG on iPhone

By 5 min read

No App Store app, no account, and your PDF stays on the phone. Works on iPad too.

Quick answer

Open fastestimageconvert.com/pdf-to-jpg in Safari, tap Select PDF file, choose the PDF from Files, then tap Convert PDF. Tap Download JPG on a page, or Download All as ZIP. The images land in Files › Downloads, and from there you can save them to Photos.

Open the PDF to JPG converter

Step by step in Safari

  1. Open the PDF to JPG converter in Safari.
  2. Tap Select PDF file, then Browse or Choose File, and pick the PDF from Files or iCloud Drive.
  3. Leave DPI at 150 for sharing, or choose 300 if you plan to print.
  4. Optional: enter pages such as 1-2 if you only need part of the document.
  5. Tap Convert PDF. A preview of every page appears.
  6. Tap Download JPG under a page, or Download All as ZIP for every page. Confirm Download when Safari asks.

Save the JPGs to your Photos library

  1. Open the Files app and go to Downloads.
  2. If you downloaded a ZIP, tap it once — iOS unpacks it into a folder.
  3. Open an image and tap Share › Save Image.
  4. For many pages: tap Select, choose the images, then Share › Save Images.

PDF in Mail or WhatsApp?

Safari can only pick files that are in the Files app. Tap the attachment, choose Share › Save to Files, then select it in the converter.

Other ways on iPhone

  • Shortcuts app: build a shortcut with “Make Image from PDF Page”, then “Convert Image” to JPEG and “Save to Photo Album”. Handy if you do this daily, but it takes a few minutes to set up.
  • Screenshot: fast for one page, but limited to screen resolution and it cuts off long pages.
  • App Store converters: many add watermarks, ads, or a subscription, and some upload your file.

Tips for big PDFs on iPhone

  • Safari has less memory than a computer. For PDFs with 50+ pages, convert in parts: 1-25, then 26-50.
  • 150 DPI is plenty for Messages, WhatsApp and Instagram; 300 DPI pages have four times as many pixels and much bigger files.
  • Need a smaller file for a form upload? Compress the JPG to 100KB.
  • The PDF has a password? Remove it first with Unlock PDF (you need to know the password).

Where do downloaded JPGs go on iPhone?

Safari saves downloads to the Files app, in the Downloads folder (On My iPhone or iCloud Drive). Open the image there and tap Share › Save Image to put it in Photos.

How do I convert a PDF from an email or WhatsApp?

Tap the PDF attachment, then Share › Save to Files. After that you can pick it in Safari when you select the PDF.

Why does my iPhone open a ZIP instead of images?

A PDF with several pages downloads as one ZIP. Tap the ZIP in the Files app and iOS unpacks it into a folder of JPGs.

Does a screenshot work instead?

A screenshot captures only what is on screen, at screen resolution, one page at a time. Converting gives the full page at the DPI you choose.
