How to convert a PDF to JPG

  1. Choose a PDF

    Press Choose a PDF, or drop one on the page. The file is opened in this browser tab.

  2. Choose the JPG resolution

    Use 96 DPI for a small screen image, 150 DPI for a balanced result, or 300 DPI for print and close inspection.

  3. Choose the pages

    Convert every page, or enter single pages and ranges such as 1, 3-5.

  4. Convert, check and download

    Each selected page becomes a JPG. Every JPG is reopened and its pixel dimensions are checked before the download is offered.

Choosing a JPG resolution

Resolution controls the number of pixels in each image. At 96 dots per inch, a letter-sized page is about 816 by 1,056 pixels. At 150 DPI it has more than twice that pixel area. At 300 DPI it has nearly ten times the pixel area of the 96 DPI version, so small type stays clearer but the files are larger.

JPG suits scans, photographs and pages with continuous colour. It is a lossy format, so hard text edges can pick up faint halos. For text, charts and flat graphics, use PDF to images and choose PNG. In either format, the output is a picture and no longer contains selectable text.

Questions

Does this PDF to JPG converter upload my file?
No. Opening the PDF, drawing each page, checking every JPG and building the download all happen in this browser tab.
Which JPG resolution should I use?
Use 96 DPI for thumbnails and screens, 150 DPI for a balanced result, or 300 DPI for print and close inspection.
Can I convert only some PDF pages?
Yes. Choose pages and enter single pages or ranges, such as 1, 3-5. They are converted in page order.
How do several JPG files download?
One page downloads as one JPG. Two or more pages arrive together in a ZIP, with filenames that keep them in page order.
Will the text stay selectable in the JPG?
No. JPG is an image format. The source PDF is not changed, so its text remains selectable there.
When should I use PNG instead?
Use PNG for pages made mostly of text, charts, diagrams or flat colour. PDF to images lets you choose PNG and uses the same checked export.
What does the output check prove?
It opens every generated JPG and checks that its width and height match the selected PDF page at the requested DPI. A failed result is not offered for download.
Is there a page-size limit?
Yes. One converted page is capped at 40 million pixels. The tool reports an error instead of returning a truncated image.
