Convert image file types using Preview on Mac

Modified on: Thu, Jul 11 2024 8:06 AM

Preview can convert image files to many file types including JPEG, JPEG 2000, PDF, PNG, PSD, TIFF, and others. This can be useful if you share files with people who use other kinds of computers or if you want to open files in apps that don’t read all file types.


1. On your Mac — Open the program “Preview”
2. Click on File > Open and locate the image you want to convert to a PDF.
3. In the Preview menu, click File, then select Export as PDF.
4. In the pop-up menu, change the file name (if desired),
choose a destination for the file, then click Save.
