How to Convert a PDF to JPG for Instagram, Twitter, or LinkedIn
You have a great PDF — a portfolio piece, a slide deck, an infographic — but social platforms only accept JPG/PNG. PDFShed converts each page into a high-quality JPG in seconds.
The problem
LinkedIn loves PDF carousels (it has native PDF support), but Instagram does not. Twitter doesn't embed PDFs. You need each page as a separate image to post as a carousel.
Use the tool now
Open the pdf to jpg tool and follow the steps below.
Step-by-step
- 1
Open the PDF to JPG tool
Drop your PDF in. Each page gets converted to its own JPG.
- 2
Pick quality preset
"High" (300 DPI) for portfolios and detailed slides. "Medium" (150 DPI) for general social. "Low" (72 DPI) for thumbnails or quick previews.
- 3
Download the ZIP of JPGs
You get one JPG per page, named page-1.jpg, page-2.jpg, etc. Posted in order, they form a carousel.
- 4
Resize for platform if needed
Instagram caps at 1080×1080 square or 1080×1350 portrait. If your PDF is letter-size, the JPG comes out 2550×3300 — Instagram will downsize on upload, but for control use a separate image-editing tool first.
- 5
Post in order
Upload all JPGs to your post. The platform preserves order — first image is the cover, others scroll.
Pro tips
- •For LinkedIn, you can post the original PDF as a carousel — no conversion needed. Conversion is only for Instagram/Twitter/Pinterest.
- •For Twitter, the image attachment limit is 4. If your PDF has 10 pages, post the most important 4 and link to the full PDF.
- •For Pinterest, JPGs work, but vertical (3:4 aspect) images get more clicks. Crop your PDF pages to vertical first.
- •Save the original PDF and the JPGs. The PDF is your source of truth; JPGs degrade with each re-upload.
Frequently asked questions
Will the JPGs look pixelated on Instagram?
At 150–300 DPI conversion, no. Instagram caps display at 1080px wide, so any JPG over 1080×1080 displays cleanly.
Can I get PNG instead of JPG?
Yes — use the PDF to PNG tool instead. PNG preserves transparency and is sharper for text-heavy slides; JPG is smaller for photos.
How do I keep the order of pages?
The downloaded ZIP names files page-1.jpg, page-2.jpg, etc. Sort by filename when uploading and they stay in order.
Can I convert just specific pages?
Yes — use [Extract Pages](/en/tools/extract-pages) first to pull out the pages you want, then PDF→JPG.
