Step by step

How to convert PDF to JPG

  1. Step 1: Drop a PDF on the box above, or select Choose file. Its pages appear as thumbnails.

  2. Step 2: Click the pages you want, or leave them all unselected to convert every page. Then pick a resolution and quality.

  3. Step 3: Select Convert to JPG, then Download. Several pages come as one ZIP file.

Choosing a resolution

Resolution decides how many pixels each page gets. 96 dpi gives screen-sized images, enough to preview a page or post it on social media. 150 dpi, the default, keeps small text readable. Choose 300 dpi for printing or for zooming into fine detail; the images are about four times as large as at 150 dpi.

Very large pages, such as posters or technical drawings, are rendered at a lower resolution when needed to stay within the megapixel limit shown below.

How the images are made

Each page is drawn in your browser by PDF.js, the same PDF engine Firefox uses, on a white background, and saved as a JPG at the quality you choose. Text becomes part of the picture, so it can no longer be selected or searched; keep the PDF if you need that.

Up to 50 pages can be converted at once. One page downloads as a JPG; more pages download together in a ZIP file, named with their page numbers.

Private

Your PDF is read and drawn on your own device and is never uploaded. Password-protected PDFs need their protection removed first.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert just one page?
Click that page's thumbnail, or type its number in the pages box, and convert. You get a single JPG named after the PDF and the page number.
Which resolution should I choose?
150 dpi suits most uses. Choose 96 dpi for small web images, and 300 dpi for printing or when you need to zoom in on small text.
Why can't I select text in the JPG?
A JPG is a picture of the page. The words are pixels, not text, so they cannot be selected or searched.
How many pages can I convert at once?
Up to 50 pages per conversion. For longer documents, convert them in parts, for example pages 1-50, then 51-100.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The pages are rendered inside your browser tab, on your device.
