Uploading A Scanned Photograph
18 Answers
The answer to this is probably simple but as I've not done it before I need advice. How do people upload actual photographs (ie old style printed from film) to websites? Anything I've ever scanned has always been sent as a pdf format but any time I've wanted to upload a picture it's needed to be in jpeg or similar. How do you get from one to the other?

Whatever you use to scan the photos (Separate scanner or one attached to a printer) should have the option to change the format to whatever is needed in the software provided. Check the menu - you might have set the PDF format by accident.

If you're able to download the PDF, you could then use a free online converter such as - https:/ /pdftoi mage.co m/
I can't speak to how well it works as I've never used that site or any of the others - search for "convert pdf to jpg"

Depending on how the scan image is held in the pdf file this may work:
Open the pdf file with Adobe Acrobat Reader and ensure that the cursor is set to 'select tool'. Click on the image to select it, then 'copy' the selection (to the clipboard). Open [MS] Paint, paste the image, then 'save as' jpeg.
If the image isn't selectable then try the Acrobat Reader 'Take a Snapshot' (on the Edit menu) to copy a selected area of the document, and paste that into Paint.

To summarise what's above:
If you'd got your own scanner, you could simply go into its setting and change the scanned format from pdf to jpg. However it looks like you can't do that with your office scanner, so you're stuck with pdf.
That means that you need to convert your scanned files from pdf to jpg. As Lie-in King indicates, there are numerous online sites that can do the job for you. They would all like you to sign up for a paid account, or to buy their software, but you don't need to; you can just use their free services.
The most well-known file conversion service is Zamzar, which has frequently been praised in the technical press:
