How to Convert a PDF to a JPEG or Other Format for PC and Apple
The FamilySearch web site accepts documents in PDF format, but it does
not accept photos in PDF format. If you have a photo in PDF format, you
must first convert it to a different format before you can upload it to Family-
Search.
I have a file which is in PDF format, and I want to convert it to JPG format so
it can be accepted as a photo on the FamilySearch website.
Here is how I convert the file {Instructions for Windows PC’s}.
1. Bring up a browser.
2. In the search bar, type in “small PDF.com”
3. When the website comes up, select PDF to JPEG.
4. Click Choose File. Don’t use the drag and drop option.
5. Select the file or group of files you want to convert.
6. Select Convert entire pages if you have a document with images on it.
Select Extract single images if you are converting single images or photos.
7. After the processing is done, press Download Zip. Put the zip file on
your desktop. It may be in your download folder.
8. Put the cursor over the zip file and right click.
9. Select “Extract All.” When you choose your place, make a new folder on
the desktop so the images will go to the new folder.
10. Now all your new converted images are in the new file.
