Sometimes a PDF is the wrong container. You need a page as an image to drop into a slide deck, post to social media, embed in a website, attach to a support ticket, or send to someone whose device makes opening PDFs a chore.
PDF to JPG renders each page as a standalone image at a resolution you choose. Rendering happens from the vector source, so the output is genuinely sharp rather than a blurry screenshot — you can go up to print resolution if the image needs to hold up when enlarged.
How to use PDF to JPG
- 1Upload the PDF.
- 2Choose which pages to convert — all of them or a specific range.
- 3Pick an output resolution: screen (around 96 DPI), high (150 DPI) or print (300 DPI).
- 4Convert, then download a single image or a ZIP of all pages.
Choosing the right resolution
96 DPI is fine for the web and keeps files small. 150 DPI suits slides and documents that may be viewed full-screen. 300 DPI matches print output and produces large files — a single A4 page at 300 DPI is roughly 8.7 megapixels. Pick the lowest setting that meets your need.
Images cannot be edited back into text
Converting to JPG discards the text layer permanently. If you later need the words back, you would have to run OCR on the image. Keep the original PDF whenever the text matters.
Supported formats, limits and things to know
- Output is JPEG; transparency is flattened onto white.
- High-resolution conversion of long documents is memory intensive on phones — convert in page ranges.
- Multi-page output is delivered as a ZIP archive.
PDF to JPG — frequently asked questions
How do I turn a PDF page into an image?
Upload the PDF, choose the page range and resolution, and convert. Each page comes out as its own JPG.
What resolution should I choose?
96 DPI for web use, 150 DPI for presentations, 300 DPI when the image will be printed or enlarged.
Can I convert just one page?
Yes. Specify a single page in the range field and only that page is rendered.
Will the text still be selectable?
No. An image has no text layer. Keep the original PDF if you need searchable text.
Can I turn the images back into a PDF?
Yes, with the JPG to PDF tool — though the round trip loses the original text layer.
