About this PDF to JPG converter

This converter turns each page of a PDF into a JPG image. It is the quickest way to share a single page on WhatsApp or social media, insert a page into a presentation, or upload a document to a form that only accepts images. Everything happens in your browser: the PDF is opened and rendered on your own device and never uploaded.

How PDF to JPG conversion works

  1. Your browser opens the PDF with PDF.js, the same engine Firefox uses to display PDFs.
  2. Each selected page is drawn onto a canvas at the resolution you choose (72, 150 or 300 DPI).
  3. The canvas is encoded as a JPG at your chosen quality. A white background is used because JPG cannot store transparency.
  4. One page downloads as a single image. Several pages are offered individually or together as a ZIP file.

Conversion quality: High fidelity. Pages are rendered exactly as a PDF viewer shows them, then saved as JPG images.

When to convert PDF to JPG

  • Sharing one page of a bill, ticket or certificate in a chat app
  • Adding a document page to a slide deck or a social post
  • Uploading to a portal that accepts only JPG/JPEG
  • Creating thumbnails or previews of a PDF

Limitations to be aware of

  • The output is a picture of the page: text is no longer selectable or searchable. Use PDF to Text if you need the words.
  • JPG is lossy. For pages with small text or sharp line art, PNG gives crisper results.
  • Very large pages at 300 DPI use a lot of memory; on phones, 150 DPI is more reliable.
  • Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first.

PDF vs JPG

PDF. PDF (Portable Document Format) stores pages with fixed layout, fonts and images so a document looks the same on every device. It is built for viewing and printing rather than editing.

JPG. JPG (JPEG) uses lossy compression tuned for photographs. Files are small, but it has no transparency and quality drops slightly each time a JPG is re-saved.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. The file stays on your device, and closing the tab discards it.

Which resolution should I choose?

150 DPI is a good default for reading on screens and sharing. Choose 300 DPI if you plan to print the image or need to zoom into small text. 72 DPI produces the smallest files.

Can I convert only some pages?

Yes. Enter page numbers and ranges such as 1-3, 7 in the Pages box. Leave it empty to convert every page.

Should I pick JPG or PNG?

JPG gives smaller files and is best for scanned documents and pages with photos. PNG is lossless and keeps text and diagrams perfectly sharp, but files are larger.
