How to convert PDF to JPG
- Add your PDF. Drop it on the box, paste it with Ctrl+V, or press Select a PDF file. A small preview of every page appears.
- Pick the pages. Every page is converted unless you choose some. Click the pages you want, or type their numbers, like
1-3, 5. - Choose the format and resolution. JPG or PNG, then 72, 150 or 300 DPI. For JPG you can also set the quality.
- Press Convert and download. One page gives you a single image. Several pages come in one .zip file, and each image is also listed so you can save it on its own.
Which resolution should you choose?
DPI means dots per inch: how many pixels each inch of the page gets. A US Letter page is 8.5 × 11 inches, so at 150 DPI it becomes 8.5 × 150 = 1,275 pixels wide.
| Resolution | US Letter page becomes | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 72 DPI | 612 × 792 pixels | Quick previews, small files |
| 150 DPI | 1,275 × 1,650 pixels | Sharing, email, slides, websites |
| 300 DPI | 2,550 × 3,300 pixels | Printing, zooming in on small text |
The tool shows the exact pixel size for your own pages under the resolution setting, so there are no surprises with odd page sizes.
JPG or PNG?
JPG makes much smaller files and is the best choice for pages with photos, or when you plan to email or upload the images. At the default quality of 90%, the result is very hard to tell apart from the page.
PNG is lossless. Text, thin lines and charts stay perfectly crisp, but files are usually larger, much larger for pages with photos. Choose it for diagrams, forms or anything you will edit further.
Good to know
- Each page becomes a picture, so the text in the image can't be selected or searched. Keep the original PDF if you need the text.
- What you see in a PDF reader is what you get, including filled-in form fields and comments shown on the page.
- Very large pages, such as posters and maps, get a lower resolution so your browser can handle them. The tool tells you before you convert.
- Password-protected PDFs need the password removed first. Open the file in a PDF reader, enter the password and save a copy without one.
Why it is private and quick
Your browser draws each page and saves it as an image on your own device, one page at a time. The PDF is never uploaded. In our test, a 30-page document became 30 images at 150 DPI in under 3 seconds on a computer.
Frequently asked questions
Is this PDF to JPG converter free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
How do I convert just one page?
Click that page in the preview, or type its number in Pages to convert, then press Convert to JPG. You get a single image instead of a .zip.
Why are my images so large?
High resolution and PNG both make bigger files. For email, 150 DPI JPG at 80–90% quality is usually plenty.
Can I turn the images back into a PDF?
Yes. Add them to JPG to PDF in the order you want.
This tool works in your browser: your files are processed on your device and are never uploaded. Check the result before you share it or delete the original.
