What PDF to JPG does
Some places accept only pictures: messaging apps, social networks, image-only upload fields and many website builders. PDF to JPG renders the pages of a PDF as JPG images. Convert every page or only the ones you need, choose the resolution and quality, preview the results and download them one by one or all together as a ZIP.
How to convert a PDF to JPG
- Add your PDF.
- Enter the pages to convert, or leave the field empty for all pages.
- Choose the resolution: 72, 150 or 300 dpi.
- Press convert and wait for the previews.
- Download single images or the ZIP file.
Which resolution should you choose?
| Resolution | A4 page becomes about | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 72 dpi | 595 × 842 px | Thumbnails and quick previews |
| 150 dpi | 1240 × 1754 px | Reading on screens, messaging and websites |
| 300 dpi | 2480 × 3508 px | Printing and zooming into detail |
Higher resolution means sharper images and larger files. For most sharing, 150 dpi is the right balance.
Use cases
- Sending one page of a document over a messaging app.
- Posting a certificate, flyer or menu on social media.
- Uploading a document page to a form that accepts only JPG.
- Inserting a PDF page into a presentation or another document as a picture.
Tips
- Use page ranges such as 1-3, 7 to convert only what you need.
- If the JPG must be under a size limit, follow up with Compress Image to KB.
- Need exact pixel dimensions? Use Image Resizer.
- To save the photos stored inside a PDF at their original quality, use Extract Images from PDF instead; this tool takes a picture of the whole page.
JPG or another format?
JPG is small and accepted everywhere, which makes it the best choice for document pages. It does not support transparency. If you need PNG, convert the result with Image Converter.
Common problems
The image is blurry. Choose 300 dpi. If the PDF itself is a low-resolution scan, a higher setting cannot add detail.
The page is cut off or sideways. Fix the PDF first with Rotate PDF or Crop PDF.
