Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert a PDF to JPG?

Drop your PDF into the tool, choose JPG, a resolution and the pages you want, then click Convert. Each page becomes a separate image that you can download one by one or all together as a ZIP file.

What resolution (DPI) should I use?

72 DPI is enough for viewing on screen, 150 DPI is a good balance for sharing and slides, and 300 DPI is the standard for printing. Higher DPI gives sharper images but much larger files.

Should I choose JPG or PNG?

JPG produces smaller files and is ideal for pages with photos. PNG is lossless and keeps text and line art perfectly crisp, but the files are larger.

Can I convert only some pages of a PDF to images?

Yes. Select Custom and enter pages or ranges such as 1-3, 5, 8-. Only those pages are rendered, which is much faster for long documents.

Can I convert a password-protected PDF to JPG?

No. Encrypted PDFs cannot be rendered without the password. Remove the protection in your PDF reader first, then convert the unlocked file.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Pages are rendered by pdf.js directly in your browser, and the images and ZIP file are created on your device. Your document is never uploaded or stored anywhere.

How PDF to JPG conversion works

A PDF page is not an image. It is a set of drawing instructions: text in embedded fonts, vector shapes and pictures placed at exact coordinates. To get a JPG, the page has to be rasterized, which means painting those instructions onto a grid of pixels. This tool uses pdf.js, the same rendering engine Firefox uses to show PDFs, to draw each page onto an HTML canvas inside your browser. The canvas is then encoded as JPG or PNG.

The resolution you pick decides how many pixels each page gets. PDF measures pages in points (72 per inch), so 72 DPI produces an image with one pixel per point. 150 DPI doubles the detail in each direction, and 300 DPI produces print-quality images. A US Letter page at 300 DPI is 2550 × 3300 pixels, or about 8.4 megapixels.

Step by step

  1. Open your PDF: drop it on the upload area or click to browse. The page count appears straight away.
  2. Choose the format: JPG for small files, PNG for crisp text and diagrams.
  3. Pick the resolution: 150 DPI suits most uses. Choose 300 DPI only if you plan to print.
  4. Select the pages: all of them, or a list such as 1-3, 7, 10-.
  5. Convert and download: images are named like report-page-1.jpg. Use Download all to get a ZIP.

JPG or PNG?

JPG uses lossy compression designed for photographs. At 85% quality, a scanned page or a brochure full of pictures is usually several times smaller than the same page as PNG. Sharp black text on a white background, however, can show faint “ringing” artifacts around letters in JPG. For text-heavy pages, diagrams, spreadsheets and screenshots, PNG keeps every edge perfectly crisp. If the file size matters, try JPG at 90% before switching formats.

When to turn a PDF into images

  • Social media and chat: Instagram, WhatsApp statuses and many forums accept images, not PDFs.
  • Slides and documents: paste a page of a report or a chart into PowerPoint, Google Slides or a wiki.
  • Thumbnails and previews: create a cover image for an ebook, a brochure or a download page.
  • Upload forms: some sites only accept JPG or PNG for certificates, invoices or ID documents.

Tips and limits

  • Text in the images is no longer selectable or searchable. Keep the original PDF if you need it.
  • Converting hundreds of pages at 300 DPI needs a lot of memory. The tool warns you before heavy jobs, and you can cancel at any time.
  • Very large pages, such as posters and engineering drawings, are rendered at a lower scale so they stay under the canvas size limit of mobile browsers.
  • Transparent areas are filled with white, so JPG pages never get a black background.
  • The ZIP stores the images without recompressing them, so it is created quickly even for long documents.
