How to Use PDF to JPG
- 1Drop one PDF or several into the upload area; you can add more later with '+ Add more PDFs'.
- 2Choose what to save: each page as an image, or the images inside the PDF (photos, logos and scans at their own resolution).
- 3Choose JPG (smaller files, with a quality slider) or PNG (sharpest, best for text and diagrams, and keeps transparency).
- 4Pick Colour, Grayscale or Black & white. Black & white has a threshold slider: raise it if faint text disappears.
- 5For pages, choose the resolution: 72 DPI for screens, 150 DPI for most uses, 300 DPI for print.
- 6Convert all pages, or (with one PDF) choose 'Choose pages' and type the ones you want, e.g. '1, 3-5'. With several PDFs, every page of each is converted.
- 7Click 'Convert' (or 'Extract images'), then download everything as a ZIP or each image on its own from the list.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which resolution should I choose?
150 DPI suits screens, documents and most uploads. 300 DPI is print quality: an A4 page becomes 2480 × 3508 pixels. 72 DPI makes small images for previews and thumbnails.
JPG or PNG?
JPG makes much smaller files and is right for pages with photos; the quality slider trades size against sharpness (90% is the default, and text edges start to blur below about 70%). PNG is lossless, so text and line drawings stay perfectly crisp, at a larger file size.
Can I get the pictures out of a PDF instead of whole pages?
Yes. Choose 'Images inside the PDF' and the tool saves the photos, logos and scanned pages stored in the file at their original resolution, without the text around them. A logo repeated on every page is saved once, and tiny spacer images are left out. If a PDF has no embedded images, it says so.
How are the images named?
After your PDF, with zero-padded page numbers so they sort correctly: report-p01.jpg, report-p02.jpg and so on. Extracted images add their number on the page: report-p03-img1.png. With several PDFs, each image carries its own PDF's name, so they all fit in one ZIP.
Can I convert several PDFs at once?
Yes. Drop them in together, or add more with '+ Add more PDFs'. Every page of each PDF is converted with the same settings and they download together as one ZIP.
Can I save pages in grayscale or black and white?
Yes. Grayscale keeps the shades of grey; Black & white turns each pixel pure black or white, which makes scanned text crisp and, saved as PNG, gives very small files. Use the threshold slider to choose how dark a pixel has to be to turn black.
What happens with very large pages?
Browsers can only make images up to a certain size. A huge page at 300 DPI is rendered as large as your browser allows, and the tool tells you when that has happened, instead of failing.
Does it work with password-protected PDFs?
PDFs that need a password to open can't be converted until the password is removed. PDFs that open freely but have editing restrictions convert normally.
About PDF to JPG
PDF to JPG turns PDF pages into images for social media, presentations, websites, chat apps and upload forms that only accept pictures. Pick JPG or PNG, colour, grayscale or black and white, a resolution from 72 to 300 DPI, and every page or just the ones you need, from one PDF or several at once.
Pages are drawn with PDF.js, Mozilla's PDF engine, so fonts, images and vector graphics look as they do in a PDF viewer. It can also pull out the images embedded in the file at their own resolution. A single image downloads on its own; several come as a ZIP with names that keep their order, and the result list lets you preview and download each one separately.
Conversion happens on your device and can be cancelled part way through. Nothing is uploaded.
