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.

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.
