How to convert a PDF to JPG
- Choose the PDF or drop it on the box. The number of pages appears straight away.
- Pick JPG or PNG and the sharpness. Leave "Pages" empty for every page, or type a range such as
1-3, 5. - Press "Convert to images". Download a single page, or all of them in one ZIP file.
JPG or PNG?
JPG files are much smaller and are the right choice for scanned pages, photos and anything you send on WhatsApp or by email. PNG keeps text and thin lines perfectly sharp with no blur around the letters, which is better for a page of text you will zoom into, a chart or a screenshot for documentation, but the file can be five to ten times bigger. Both use a white background, because a PDF page is white paper even when the file itself says nothing about the background.
Which dpi should I choose?
| Sharpness | A4 page becomes | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 72 dpi | 595 × 842 px | Thumbnails, a quick preview |
| 150 dpi | 1240 × 1754 px | Phone screens, WhatsApp, email, websites |
| 200 dpi | 1654 × 2339 px | Printing text that must be easy to read |
| 300 dpi | 2480 × 3508 px | Print shops, small print, signatures |
Very large pages (posters, engineering drawings) are limited to about 24 megapixels per image so the browser does not run out of memory; the tool lowers the dpi for those pages automatically.
Extracting only some pages
Type the pages you need in the "Pages" box: 2 for one page, 1-4 for a range, 1, 3, 7-9 for a mix, or 5- for page 5 to the end. If you need those pages as a smaller PDF rather than images, use Split PDF instead.
Password-protected and damaged PDFs
A PDF that asks for a password when you open it cannot be converted until it is unlocked: open it in your PDF reader with the password and print or save it as a new PDF. A PDF that only restricts printing or copying usually converts normally. If a file is damaged, opening and re-saving it in a PDF reader often repairs it.
Privacy
Pages are drawn by pdf.js, the PDF engine from Mozilla Firefox, running inside your browser. The PDF and the images stay on your device. We count only that a PDF was converted and roughly how many pages it had, never the file name or the content.
