PDF to JPG

How to use the pdf to jpg

1. Open the PDF.
2. Choose the pages, resolution and image format.
3. Convert, check the previews, then download one image or the ZIP.

About this tool

Converting to an image renders each page the way a viewer draws it, then saves that picture. It is the right move when something needs to go where a PDF cannot — a slide, a forum post, a listing that only accepts images — and the wrong move when the text still needs to be selectable or searchable, because rendering flattens everything into pixels.

Resolution is the main decision. 96 dpi matches a screen and keeps files small; 150 dpi is a good middle for most uses; 300 dpi is print quality and produces much larger files. A single page downloads directly, several arrive as one ZIP.

Pages are drawn with PDF.js — the same engine Firefox uses to display PDFs — running on your device. The first conversion loads about a megabyte of that engine; after that it is cached.

Common uses

• Getting a page into a slide deck or a social post.
• Producing a thumbnail of a document's first page.
• Sending a page to someone who cannot open PDFs.

Frequently asked questions

Which resolution should I choose?

150 dpi suits most on-screen uses. Choose 300 dpi only if the image will be printed — it roughly quadruples the file size compared with 150.

Will the text still be selectable?

No. An image is pixels. If you need the words, use the PDF text extractor instead.

Why did several pages download as a ZIP?

Browsers block repeated downloads, so multiple images are bundled into one archive.
