    Hey All,
    Not sure if I am in the right forum for this, so apologies if not.
    I am trying to upload some old photos onto Facebook for family to see abroad.
    Thing is I scanned them in, and they are saved in PDF format, but when I try to upload them onto Facebook, it tells me that I can only upload JPG, GIF, or PNG files.
    I am technically challenged, so would really appreciate any help!
    Thanks.

    You should be able to open them in an photo editing program and then save them as jpgs. Try irfanview, it's a free download.

    Whatever scanning software you're using should have an option to scan the pictures as jpegs rather than PDFs. PDF files are really for documents rather than photos, jpeg would be the standard format for pictures.
