On the genealogy site one often needs to include scanned image of old documents for clarity and interpretation. This is fine when working with JPEG files, but I have been working with a source that insists on downloading images as PDF files. I have no way to convert those to JPEG files locally. Is there a way to get Imgur to store these files, so that I can include a link in my questions?

Can't you screenshot the pdf? I know it's crude but it would work.– ChrisF ModCommented Apr 28, 2018 at 22:48

Have you considered using an external hosting service, such as OneDrive?– Sonic the Anonymous HedgehogCommented Apr 28, 2018 at 22:49

When I need to do this at the Genealogy & Family History Stack Exchange I just open the PDF on my laptop running Windows 7 and then use the Snipping Tool to take a screenshot of the part of the image which is relevant to my post.
I would not advise attaching PDFs or including whole images images of genealogical documents unless you have checked their Copyright.
