How to convert PDF to JPG

  1. Open your PDF. Drop it on the box above or click to choose it. The page count and file size appear straight away. If the PDF is password-protected, you will be asked for the password.
  2. Pick a resolution. 150 DPI is a good default. Choose 300 DPI for printing or tiny text, 72 DPI for small previews.
  3. Choose the pages. Leave it on “All”, or choose “Range” and type something like 1-3, 8.
  4. Convert. Pages are rendered one by one with a progress bar, and each finished page appears as a thumbnail showing its pixel size and file size.
  5. Download. Click a thumbnail or its JPG button to save one page, or use “Download all as ZIP” for the lot. Files are named after your PDF, for example report-page-03.jpg.

A practical example

You have a 14-page PDF brochure and want to post two of its pages on social media and use a third on your website. Open the PDF, choose Range and type 1, 6, 9, keep 150 DPI, and convert. On a normal laptop the pages are ready in a couple of seconds. The cover comes out at 1275 × 1650 pixels, sharp enough for any screen, and each page is a few hundred kilobytes.

When you need a PDF page as an image

PDFs are built for documents, but plenty of places only accept images. Social networks, messaging apps, website builders, presentation slides and many upload forms want a JPG or PNG. Converting a page to an image is also the simplest way to show one page of a longer document without sending the whole file, or to get a thumbnail of a report or e-book cover.

Choosing a resolution

DPI (dots per inch) decides how many pixels each inch of the page becomes. The same page at a higher DPI gives a bigger, sharper image and a larger file:

ResolutionA4 pageUS Letter pageGood for
72 DPI595 × 842 px612 × 792 pxThumbnails, quick previews
150 DPI1240 × 1754 px1275 × 1650 pxScreens, chats, websites, social posts
300 DPI2480 × 3508 px2550 × 3300 pxPrinting, small print, detailed drawings

For a text-heavy academic paper in our tests, 150 DPI JPGs were around 450–680 KB per page and 300 DPI JPGs around 1.1–1.8 MB. Pages that are mostly white space are much smaller; full-page photos are larger.

JPG or PNG?

JPG is the practical default: it keeps files small and handles photos and scanned pages well. PNG is lossless, so text, charts and line art stay razor-sharp with no faint compression marks around letters, but files are several times bigger. If a page is going into a design where every edge matters, choose PNG; otherwise JPG at high quality is hard to tell apart.

Privacy and how it works

The converter uses pdf.js, Mozilla’s open-source PDF engine, hosted on CachePlex and running in your browser. Each page is drawn onto an off-screen canvas at the resolution you picked and saved as an image. The PDF itself never leaves your device; our server only receives the number of pages converted, for the daily free limit. If the PDF has a password, it is used only in your browser tab.

Pages are drawn on a white background, because JPG cannot store transparency and a transparent page would otherwise turn black. Choose PNG if you need the transparent areas kept.

Limitations

  • One PDF at a time, up to 100 MB, and up to 100 pages per conversion. For longer documents, convert a range, then the next range.
  • Browsers limit how large a single image can be (iPhones and iPads allow about 16.7 megapixels). If a page at your chosen DPI would exceed that, it is scaled down to fit and marked “reduced”.
  • The tool saves whole pages. It does not extract the original photos embedded in a PDF at their native resolution; render at 300 DPI for the most detail.
  • Text in the images cannot be selected or searched.
  • Some interactive content, such as form fields that only appear when filled in or embedded video, may not show in the image exactly as in a desktop PDF reader.

Troubleshooting

“This PDF is damaged”

The file is incomplete or corrupted, often from an interrupted download or a faulty export. Download it again or re-export it from the app that made it.

“A web page saved with a .pdf name”

Some sites save their download page instead of the document. Go back to the site, open the PDF itself, then save it.

Text looks blurry

Convert again at 300 DPI, and choose PNG if the page is mostly text or line drawings.

A phone tab reloads on long PDFs

Phones have less memory. Convert fewer pages at a time, or use 150 DPI instead of 300.

PDF to JPG questions

Drop the PDF on the box above, choose a resolution (150 DPI suits most uses), leave Pages on “All” or type a range, and press Convert. Each page becomes a separate JPG that you can download on its own or with every other page in one ZIP file.

Use 72 DPI for quick previews and small thumbnails, 150 DPI for sharing on screen, in chats or on websites, and 300 DPI when the image will be printed or when small text must stay crisp. Higher resolutions produce bigger files.

Yes. Choose “Range” and type the pages you want, for example 1-3, 7 or 2, 5, 9-12. Pages are exported in the order you type them, and duplicates are ignored.

No. The PDF is opened and rendered in your browser using pdf.js, the open-source PDF engine built into Firefox. Only the number of pages converted is sent to CachePlex, to count the daily free limit.

Yes, if you know the password. The tool asks for it, and the password is used only inside your browser tab to open the file. It cannot remove or bypass a password you do not have.

JPG gives much smaller files and is the right choice for pages with photos or scans. PNG keeps text and line drawings perfectly sharp with no compression marks, at the cost of larger files, and can keep a transparent background.

A JPG is a picture of the page, so the words become pixels. If you need to copy text, open the original PDF, or run the image through OCR software.

PDFs up to 100 MB can be opened, and up to 100 pages can be exported per conversion. The free tier allows 20 conversions per day.
