How to turn PDF pages into images
Some places just won't take a PDF: social posts, chat apps and many website builders want images. Turning each PDF page into an image solves that, and it's a handy way to post a document as a carousel.
Step by step
- Open the File Editor. Choose PDF → images.
- Upload the PDF. Pick the document.
- Convert. Each page becomes its own image.
- Download and unzip. The pages arrive as PNG images in a single .zip file.
Going the other way
To turn photos or screenshots into a PDF, use the free Images → PDF task.
Making a carousel post
Instagram carousels can hold up to 20 images and the first one decides whether people swipe. Make your first page a strong title slide. Square or 4:5 pages fill the feed best, so a deck designed in that shape works better than a landscape document.
