About PDF to JPG
This tool converts PDF pages to JPG images in your browser. Each page is drawn onto a canvas at the resolution you choose, 75, 150 or 220 dpi, and saved as its own image file on your device; nothing is sent to a server. You can save PNG or TIFF instead of JPG, and leave out any pages you do not want.
Reach for it when you need a page as a picture rather than as text, for a report cover, a social post, a slide graphic or an archive copy. The text on the page becomes pixels and can no longer be selected, and each page is its own file, so there is no option to join pages into one long image. The PDF itself is not changed.
How it works
- Add one or more PDFs. Type the open password beside the file name first if one of them is locked.
- Every page is selected by default. Click a page's "Save as" checkbox to leave it out, or use Select none and then tick only the pages you want. Select all and Select none act on every page of every PDF you added.
- Choose an image resolution: Small (75 dpi) for quick previews, Medium (150 dpi) for everyday use, or Large (220 dpi) for printing.
- Choose an image format: JPG, PNG or TIFF. The checkboxes on the pages change to match.
- Click Convert to JPG. The button keeps that name whichever format you chose.
- Download the images: one image comes as a plain file, two or more as a ZIP. Files are named like report-1.jpg, from the PDF’s name and the page number, and the Result file names section changes that pattern.
Resolution, format and file size
The pixel size of each image is the page’s size in points scaled by the dpi you pick. A US Letter page (612 by 792 points) comes out 638 by 825 pixels at Small, 1275 by 1650 at Medium and 1870 by 2420 at Large. The three formats behave differently:
- JPG is lossy and is saved at a fixed quality of 0.9 on the browser’s 0 to 1 scale. There is no quality slider.
- PNG is lossless, so small text and thin lines stay crisp, but the files are larger, especially for pages with photographs.
- TIFF is uncompressed 8-bit RGB, three bytes per pixel, with the chosen dpi recorded in the file. A US Letter page is about 6.3 MB at Medium and about 13.6 MB at Large.
- Pages are drawn on white in every format, so transparent areas of the PDF come out white. You do not get a transparent PNG.
A worked example: the cover and the last page
Take a 30-page PDF called report.pdf where you want only the first and last pages. Click Select none, tick the checkboxes on pages 1 and 30, leave Medium and JPG as they are, and click Convert to JPG. You get report-1.jpg and report-30.jpg in a ZIP. Tick just one page and you get that image as a plain download instead.
Page numbers are not zero-padded, so an alphabetical listing puts report-10.jpg before report-2.jpg. If every page is unticked, the tool stops with "Select at least one page to convert."
Limits and what can go wrong
The code sets no page-count or file-size limit. Each page is drawn as one canvas, so a very large page at Large resolution, such as a poster or a technical drawing, can exceed what your browser will allocate, and the conversion stops with an error such as "Could not create an image from this page." Pick a smaller resolution and try again.
Every image is held in memory until you download it, so a long PDF saved as TIFF at Large takes a lot: about 13.6 MB per US Letter page, before the ZIP. Text, vector artwork and embedded images are all drawn as pixels, and links and bookmarks do not carry over. If you want text you can edit, use PDF to Word; to put pages into a deck, PDF to PowerPoint; to turn images back into a PDF, JPG to PDF.
Frequently asked questions
Medium (150 dpi) looks sharp on screen and keeps a reasonable file size for most uses. Choose Large (220 dpi) if the image is going to print, or Small (75 dpi) when you just need a quick preview and the smallest possible file.
JPG is small and opens everywhere, which suits photos and most everyday pages. PNG is lossless, so it keeps small text and thin lines crisp, which matters on a page that is mostly text or a diagram. TIFF is uncompressed and larger still, useful for archival or print workflows that specifically ask for it.
Yes. Every page is included by default; clear a page's "Save as" checkbox to leave it out, or use Select none and then tick just the pages you want. Clicking the page itself does nothing here, only the checkbox. If only one page is left you get a single image file, without a ZIP.
Blur usually means the resolution was too low for how the image is being used. Re-convert at Large (220 dpi) if you are printing or zooming in, since Small and Medium are tuned for on-screen use. Choosing PNG instead of JPG also avoids JPEG compression softening small text.
Its pixel dimensions scale with your chosen resolution: a page at 150 dpi comes out smaller than the same page at 220 dpi. The proportions of the original page are always kept; nothing is cropped or stretched.
No, the original PDF is untouched; this creates new, separate image files from it. Text on the page is rendered as pixels in those images and is no longer selectable, which is expected for an image format.
Yes. Every page is rasterised and encoded on your own computer by the code this page loaded, so neither the PDF nor the images it produces leave it. If one of the files is locked, converting waits for the password you type on its chip.
No. Each selected page becomes its own image file, named from the PDF and the page number. Two or more files are delivered together in a ZIP.
Yes. Open the Result file names section and edit the pattern. The default is [BASENAME]-[CURRENTPAGE], and you can also use [FILENUMBER] and [TIMESTAMP]. The extension follows the format you chose: .jpg, .png or .tiff.
