I am completing a government form on line but it requires a passport photo in either GIF,JPG JPEG or PNG but the photo I scanned was in PDF and that is not an accepted file format

How do I change this to an acceptable format. I have googled it but do not understand how to do it as it says use Paint. Any simple adviser advice please on how to do it.

I definitely wouldn’t use paint. It’s a nightmare if it gets under the keyboard, especially gloss.

Open the file in paint and save it as one of the acceptable formats if you havent got MS Paint then use free software like GIMP or Paint.net
