How to convert PDF to JPG

1
Add your PDF
Drop one file or up to twenty into the box. Each document is opened by your own browser, so nothing is uploaded and nothing waits in a queue.
2
Choose DPI and pages
Pick a resolution between 72 and 600 DPI, type the pages you want, and set the JPEG quality if the default of 85 is not right for you.
3
Download the JPG files
One page comes back as a single .jpg. Several pages arrive as one ZIP archive with every image numbered in page order.

What resolution means here

DPI decides how many pixels each page becomes. An A4 page is 8.27 by 11.7 inches, so 72 DPI gives roughly 595 by 842 pixels, 150 DPI gives 1240 by 1754, and 300 DPI gives 2480 by 3508. Use 72 or 96 DPI for a quick preview or an email attachment, 150 DPI for reading on screen, and 300 DPI when the image will be printed or cropped. Very large sheets are capped at 8000 pixels on the long side, because no browser will allocate a canvas beyond that, and the resolution used is reported while the job runs.

Rendering, not extracting

Each page is drawn as a reader would show it: text, vector shapes, tables, stamps and background images are all painted onto one flat picture. That is different from pulling the embedded photos out of a file, which returns only the pictures somebody placed there, at whatever size they were stored. Rendering always gives you the whole page, and it always gives you pixels, so anything that was text before is now part of the image.

The document never leaves your computer

Conversion runs inside your browser tab using its own rendering engine. The PDF is not uploaded, not copied to a server and not stored anywhere for us to delete later, which is why contracts, payslips and medical scans can be converted here. Close the tab and every page still in memory is gone with it.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from extracting images from a PDF?

This renders the complete page into one picture, including text, tables and lines. Extracting images pulls out only the photos that were embedded in the file, at their stored size, and ignores everything drawn around them. Pick rendering when you want the page as it looks.

Which DPI should I choose for printing?

Use 300 DPI for anything that will be printed, which is the standard for photo and document printing. For reading on a screen, 150 DPI is plenty, and 72 or 96 DPI is enough for a thumbnail or a quick email preview.

Why is my file so large at 600 DPI?

Because pixel count grows with the square of the resolution. A page at 600 DPI has four times as many pixels as the same page at 300 DPI and about seventy times as many as at 72 DPI. Drop to 300 DPI, or lower the JPEG quality slider, and the file shrinks fast.

Can I convert only some pages?

Yes. Type the pages you want in the page field, for example 1-3, 5, 8-10. Ranges may be listed in any order, duplicates are removed automatically, and only the pages you asked for are rendered, so the job also finishes sooner.

Will the text still be selectable in the JPG?

No. A JPG is a grid of pixels with no text layer, so nothing in the result can be selected, searched or copied. If you need the words back, run the image through OCR, or convert the original PDF to text instead of to an image.

Does my file get uploaded to a server?

No. The pages are rendered by your own browser, in a background thread on your machine. No part of the document travels over the network, so the conversion also works with the connection switched off once the page has loaded.

Is there a limit on file size or page count?

You can convert files up to 2 GB each, twenty at a time. There is no page limit, but 500 pages at 150 DPI takes a minute or two, and very high resolutions on long documents are limited mainly by how much memory your browser can hold at once.
