PDF to JPG: why convert
A JPG is easier to share than a PDF in many places: chat apps, social media, websites, slide decks and image editors all take JPG directly. This converter renders each page of your PDF exactly as a PDF reader shows it and saves it as a JPG image. A one-page PDF gives you a single JPG; a longer document gives you one JPG per page, numbered in order and packed in a zip. The rendering is done by pdf.js, the PDF engine built into Firefox, running entirely in your browser, so confidential documents never leave your computer.
How to convert PDF to JPG
- Drop your PDF in the box, or click to choose it.
- Pick a resolution and JPG quality, or keep the defaults.
- Click Convert to JPG and download the image, or a zip with one image per page.
What changes when you convert
Choose the resolution for the job
Resolution decides how sharp the images are and how large the files get. 72 DPI matches the page size on most screens and is fine for previews. 150 DPI is a good default for sharing and reading on a phone. Use 300 DPI for printing or when you need to zoom into small text; an A4 page at 300 DPI is about 2480 × 3508 pixels.
Text becomes part of the picture
In a JPG the text is pixels, not characters. You can no longer select, search or copy it, and links stop working. Keep the original PDF if you need those.
Transparent areas turn white
JPG has no transparency, so pages are drawn on a white background, the way a PDF reader shows them.
Password-protected PDFs
A PDF that needs a password to open cannot be converted. Open it in your PDF reader, enter the password and save a copy without protection first.
Large documents
Every page is drawn in memory. Hundreds of pages at 300 DPI can be too much for a phone; use 150 DPI or split the PDF if the browser slows down.
About the formats
PDF (Portable Document Format) was created by Adobe in 1993 and has been an ISO standard since 2008. A PDF looks the same on every device, which is why it is used for contracts, invoices, forms, manuals and scanned documents.
- A page can hold text, vector graphics and images, each placed exactly.
- Scanned documents are usually one image per page.
- A PDF can be protected with a password that is needed to open or edit it.
JPG
JPG (or JPEG) is the most widely used image format for photos, supported by every camera, phone, browser and image editor. It uses lossy compression, which keeps files small at a small cost in quality.
- Best for photos; text and sharp lines can get blurry edges.
- No transparency: transparent areas become a solid colour.
- The quality setting trades file size against detail.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The PDF is read and rendered by your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, which makes the converter safe for contracts, bank statements and other private documents.
How are the images named?
After the PDF with the page number added, for example report_page01.jpg, report_page02.jpg, so they sort in the right order.
Can I get PNG instead of JPG?
This page makes JPG, which gives the smallest files for scanned pages and photos. For pages that are mostly text and lines, the highest quality setting keeps edges crisp.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, it runs in any modern browser, including Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android.
