PDF to JPG

Turn each page into an image you can post, paste or edit.

About this tool

Images go places PDFs cannot. A page you want in a slide deck, attached to a message or dropped into a design file is far easier to handle as a JPG.

Resolution is the choice that matters: 72 dpi is fine for screens, 144 dpi is a good default, and higher is worth the larger files only if the images will be printed or cropped into.

How to pdf to jpg

  1. Add the PDF you want to convert.
  2. Choose a resolution. 144 dpi suits most uses.

Common questions

What resolution should I pick?

72 dpi for something only ever viewed on screen. 144 dpi is the sensible default and holds up when zoomed. 216 or 288 dpi produce large files but survive printing and cropping.

Can I convert just one page?

Use Extract pages first to pull out the page you want, then convert that single-page file here.

Why is it a ZIP?

A thirty-page document produces thirty images, and browsers cannot save that many files in one action. The ZIP keeps them together, named in page order.

JPG or PNG?

JPG for scanned or photographic pages, where it is far smaller with no visible loss. PNG for pages of text, diagrams or flat colour, where it keeps edges crisp.
