Someone needs a photo of the contract cover for a chat thread. You've got the PDF on your phone. Screenshotting works but cuts off the page or grabs the wrong zoom level.
Save the PDF to Files first
From Mail, Messages, or wherever the PDF lives, tap the share icon and choose Save to Files. Pick On My iPhone or iCloud Drive. Now you have a clean local copy to work with.
Convert via Safari
Open Flint's PDF to JPG in Safari. Tap the upload area, browse to the PDF in Files, and let it convert. The JPG (or a zip of JPGs if multi-page) downloads into Files.
Save directly to Photos: tap the JPG, share icon, Save Image. Or share it from Files directly to Messages, Mail, WhatsApp, whatever.
Files vs Photos
Photos is for personal images. Files is for documents. Files is where the JPG lands by default — fine for sharing onward. Save to Photos only if you want it alongside your camera roll.
Saving to Photos imports a copy. The original JPG stays in Files unless you delete it manually.
If you only need one page
Split the PDF to keep just the page you need, then convert. Saves data on mobile, downloads faster. Useful when the PDF is large and you're on cellular.
FAQ
Do I need any apps?
No — Safari and Files are enough. Photos is useful if you want the JPG in your camera roll.
Will it work without Wi-Fi?
Conversion runs online, so you'll need a signal. Small PDFs convert fine on 4G/5G; large ones are better on Wi-Fi.
Can I AirDrop the result?
Yes — tap the JPG in Files, Share, AirDrop.
What about quality?
Same DPI options as on desktop. Default is fine for messaging; bump up if you'll print.
Phone, browser, done. Convert your PDF to JPG on your iPhone.
