How to use PDF to JPG
Choose a PDF, enter the pages you want or leave "all", pick a resolution and press Process PDF. Download the JPG, or the ZIP when you converted several pages.
Choosing a resolution
Standard renders pages at 144 dpi, which is sharp on screens and fine for slides or social posts. High renders at 216 dpi for printing or zooming into small text, and makes files roughly twice as large.
When an image beats a PDF
Images are easier to drop into chats, slides and websites that do not accept PDFs. To keep text searchable and selectable, keep the PDF; a JPG is a picture of the page.
How it works
Each page is rendered to a canvas and saved as a JPG
Examples
- Worked example
Convert pages 1-3 of a PDF at 144 dpi and download them as a ZIP.
Limitations and assumptions
Up to 50 pages per run. Several pages download as a ZIP file; a single page downloads as one JPG. Encrypted PDFs may fail.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change a PDF into a JPEG?
Choose the PDF, leave pages as all or type the page you want, and press Process PDF. Each page becomes a JPEG picture you can save, share or post.
Can I convert a PDF to a picture on my phone?
Yes. The converter runs in mobile browsers, and the JPG or ZIP downloads to your phone like any other file.
Can I convert just one page?
Yes. Type the page number, for example 3, and you get a single JPG of that page.
Why is the result a ZIP file?
Several pages make several images, so they are packed into one ZIP to download in one click. Most computers open ZIP files with a double click.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Yes. Scanned and text PDFs both convert, because the tool draws what each page looks like.
