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.

Every inch of paper becomes 300 pixels

The page opens with “For print” selected under “Image size”, which is 300 DPI; PDF to JPG itself starts at 600. A US Letter page, 8.5 by 11 inches, came out at 2550 × 3300 pixels in our check on October 20, 2026. The hint under the buttons gives A4 as 2480 × 3508, the rounded ideal, but each page is cut down to whole pixels. An A4 PDF saved from LibreOffice gave 2480 × 3507, and one printed from Chrome, a hair narrower, gave 2478 × 3507. On paper that is a fifth of a millimeter at most. “JPEG quality” starts at 85 percent.

File sizes at 300 DPI, 150 and 600

Our test file was a two-page A4 report of 1.1 MB: a heading, text and a photo on page 1, text on page 2. At 300 DPI the photo page came out at 1.5 MB and the text page at 733 kB. Both were ready about half a second after the PDF went in, in Chrome on a Mac. They arrived as one 2.2 MB ZIP. Picked under “More settings”, 150 DPI gave 1240 × 1753 pixels at 453 and 277 kB. “Best quality” gave 4960 × 7015 at 4.1 and 1.8 MB. A 20-page Letter text PDF of 145 kB became a 17 MB ZIP in 1.2 seconds.

The JPG holds pixels, not a print size

The 300 lives in the pixel count, not in the file. The JPEG header records no print resolution, and macOS reported our files as 72 DPI. No detail is missing, only that label. Print at the paper's own size, A4 or Letter, or choose fit to page. Then the 2480 pixels across an A4 page land at 300 per inch. An app that sizes pictures by the label can place the page several times too large. Set the picture's width to the page width yourself.

Long documents, posters and phones

The page takes one PDF at a time. At 300 DPI, a PDF of up to 34 A4 pages is converted as soon as it opens. With 35 or more, nothing is drawn until you press “Build the images”; at the default 600 DPI, that starts at 9 pages. An A2 poster kept the full 300 DPI at 4960 × 7015. An A1 poster gave 5650 × 8000, about 240 DPI, because the long side is capped at 8000 pixels. Only the size under the JPG shows it. The same goes for a phone short of memory: the tool steps down to 150, 96 or 72 DPI rather than failing. On an iPhone the download opens the Share sheet. A single JPG goes on to Compress Image or JPG to PDF from the row of next tools.

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.
