How it works

## PDF to JPG in three moves.

No app to open, no window to find. It happens where the file already is.

1. **Drag**

Start dragging the file from Finder, Mail, Photos or your desktop.

2. **Pause**

Hold still for a moment. Sheaf’s actions open in a circle around your cursor.

3. **Choose Convert › JPEG or PNG**

A folder of images appears, one per page, in order.

Your options on a Mac

## Three ways to do it, honestly compared.

### Preview (built in)

File › Export, Format › JPEG, one page at a time.

- Free and built in
- One page per export
- Easy to lose track on long files

### Online PDF sites

Upload the file to a website, wait, download the result.

- Your document goes to someone else’s server
- Free plans limit files, size or tasks per day
- Needs an internet connection

### SheafFastest

Drag the file, pause, let go.

- All pages in one step
- JPEG for photos, PNG for crisp text
- Named in page order

## JPEG or PNG?

**JPEG** files are smaller and fine for photos and slides. **PNG** keeps text and line drawings perfectly crisp, at a bigger size. If a site asks for “an image of your document”, JPEG is usually what it wants.

## Images back into a PDF

Have photos or scans you want as one PDF? That’s the reverse: [JPG to PDF](https://sheafai.app/jpg-to-pdf-mac).

**Sheaf for Mac**

Every PDF tool, right where you drag the file.

## Questions

How do I convert all pages of a PDF to JPG on a Mac?

Drag the PDF onto Sheaf and choose Convert › JPEG. Every page becomes its own image.

Can Preview convert a multi-page PDF to JPG?

Preview exports the current page only, so you repeat it for each page.

Is image quality good enough to print?

Yes for most documents; choose PNG for the sharpest text.
