How to convert a PDF to JPG
- 01
Add your PDF
Drop a file into the box above and its pages render as thumbnails.
- 02
Pick pages, or don't
Select the pages you want as images. Selecting nothing converts the whole document.
- 03
Choose a resolution
150 DPI suits screens and email; 300 DPI is for printing and produces much larger files.
- 04
Download
One page downloads as a JPG; several download together as a zip.
Choosing a resolution
DPI decides how many pixels each page becomes, and it is the only real lever on both quality and file size. An A4 page at 72 DPI is about 600 × 840 pixels; at 300 DPI it is roughly 2480 × 3500 — the same page, seventeen times the pixels.
- 72 DPI — thumbnails, previews, anywhere the image is shown small. Text becomes hard to read.
- 150 DPI — the default, and right for most uses: readable on screen, sensible to email, fine for a document someone will glance at rather than print.
- 300 DPI — print quality. Use it when the image will be printed at full size or cropped into.
Very large pages at 300 DPI can exceed what a browser will allocate for a single image. When that happens the tool quietly renders at the highest resolution it can rather than failing — a slightly smaller image beats an error.
JPG or PNG?
JPG for pages that are mostly photographs or scans. Its compression is built for continuous tone and the files are dramatically smaller.
PNG for pages that are mostly text, diagrams or line art. JPEG compression smears the edges of sharp black-on-white text; PNG keeps them exact. If you plan to run OCR on the output, use PNG.
