A "save PDF as .jpeg on Mac" conversion can be done for a number of reasons. For instance, if you need to edit the file in an image editor, this is what you would need to do. Before learning how to save a PDF as a JPEG on Mac, let's understand how the process works. One way to do this is to use a PDF editor or conversion service to save the PDF as JPEG on your Mac. If you have more than one file, a better option would be to use a bulk conversion utility. PDFelement can come to your rescue in both situations because it offers both these features for professional and business use. Now, let's look at the processes involved.

Method 1: How to Make a PDF into a JPEG on Mac

This first method will allow the user to quickly save a PDF as JPEG on Mac using PDFelement in a couple of minutes. The process is as follows:

Step 1. Open PDF

Launch the program and click the "Open File…" link at the bottom of the software's main page, navigate to your PDF file and select it for import.

Step 2. Select JPEG as Output Format

Go to "File" → "Export To" → "Image" → "JPEG (.jpg)" through the expanded menus and click on it. This will select JPEG as your output file type for the imported PDF.

Step 3. Save PDF as JPEG on Mac

Choose your output folder and hit "Save" in the Finder window.

That's it, you're all done! Your PDF has now been saved as a JPEG file in the selected output folder. You can open it with any image editor, upload to social media, and treat it like any other image file. Let's look at how to do the same thing with several PDF files.

Method 2: How to Save PDF to JPEG on Mac with the Batch Process Feature

The Batch Process feature uses PDFelement's powerful conversion engine to convert multiple files in bulk. It can be used for large workloads but is simple enough for new users to convert just a few files at a time. The process is shown below in step form:

Step 1. Select "PDF Converter" Tool

As a first step, open the PDF file and click on the "Tool" option in the left side panel and select "PDF Converter" under the "Batch Process" section.

Step 2. Add PDF Documents

When the PDF Converter window opens up, you'll see an "+ Add…" button at the bottom. Click on it to select multiple files in Finder and import them into the program.

Step 3. Save PDF as JPEG on Mac

On the right side of the window, choose "To Image" and then "JPEG(.jpg) as your output file format for the imported PDFs. Below that, you can specify the image quality. Next, choose whether you want each page of each PDF as an image file or if you need to extract the images from all files and save them as separate images. Once you have set the parameters, you can hit Apply to process the files as a batch.

This method is as easy as it is flexible. It gives you several options, as you saw, and even gives you full control over the quality of the images that are generated from these PDF files. That flexibility is clearly seen across all of PDFelement's functions, of which the most important ones are described in the next section.
