Select a PDF file to convert to JPG

Convert PDF pages to JPG images with DPI control (150/300/600) and quality adjustment (70-95%). Multi-page PDFs output as ZIP. Server-side processing for complex PDFs—files auto-deleted within 15 minutes. No page limits.

How to Convert PDF to JPG

01

Upload PDF (any page count, max 50MB recommended)

02

Select DPI: 150 (web/social), 300 (print/archive), 600 (high-res)

03

Set JPG quality 70-95% (85% recommended)

04

Process converts all pages—takes 5-30s depending on page count

05

Download ZIP with numbered JPG files (page-1.jpg, page-2.jpg, ...)

Key Features

DPI Selection for Output Purpose

150 DPI: 1-2MB per page, sharp on screens, ideal for web/email/social media. 300 DPI: 3-5MB per page, print-quality, standard for archival/professional use. 600 DPI: 8-15MB per page, extreme detail for design work or large-format printing. Higher DPI = exponentially larger files (600 DPI = 16× file size vs 150 DPI).

JPG Quality vs File Size Trade-off

85-90%: Best balance—imperceptible quality loss, 40-50% size reduction. 70-80%: Visible compression artifacts on text/gradients, 60-70% smaller. 95%+: Near-lossless, minimal size savings. For text-heavy PDFs, use 85%+ to maintain readability. For photo-heavy PDFs, 80% acceptable.

Batch Page Processing

Converts all pages simultaneously—10-page PDF processes in 15 seconds, 100-page in 90 seconds. Output ZIP contains sequentially numbered files. Individual page extraction not supported—use PDF Split tool first if you need specific pages only.

Text and Image Preservation

Maintains original layout, fonts rendered as images at selected DPI. Vector graphics rasterized to pixels—quality depends on DPI choice. Embedded images extracted at PDF's embedded resolution (won't upscale beyond source). Text searchability lost after conversion (JPG has no text layer).

Output Organization

ZIP contains: page-001.jpg, page-002.jpg, etc. (zero-padded for correct sorting). Single-page PDFs output single JPG (no ZIP). File names preserve original PDF name as prefix if desired. Extract ZIP to view all pages as separate image files.

Privacy & Security

PDF to JPG conversion requires server-side processing (browser APIs can't render complex PDFs reliably). Your PDF uploads via encrypted HTTPS connection. We don't access file contents, don't train on your data, don't share with third parties. For sensitive documents, consider local PDF software (Adobe, Preview, GIMP) instead of any online tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

What DPI should I choose for different use cases?

Web/social media/email: 150 DPI (1-2MB/page, sharp on screens). Printing documents/archival: 300 DPI (3-5MB/page, standard print resolution). Large format printing/design work: 600 DPI (8-15MB/page). For viewing on screens only, 150 DPI sufficient—higher DPI wastes bandwidth and storage. For professional printing, never use below 300 DPI.

Why does my 10-page PDF create a 50MB ZIP file?

DPI and quality settings determine output size. 10 pages × 300 DPI × 85% quality = ~5MB per page = 50MB total. Reduce file size: Lower DPI to 150 (25% size), reduce quality to 75% (30% smaller), or compress JPGs after extraction. Text-heavy PDFs compress better than photo-heavy PDFs.

Can I convert specific pages instead of entire PDF?

No—tool converts all pages. Workaround: Use PDF Extract Pages tool first to create new PDF containing only desired pages, then convert that PDF to JPG. Or use PDF Split to extract every page individually, then convert needed pages.

Does conversion preserve text searchability and selectability?

No. JPG is raster image format—text becomes pixels, not selectable or searchable. If you need searchable output, keep original PDF or use OCR tools after conversion. Converting PDF→JPG→PDF loses all text layers and dramatically increases file size.

Why is my converted JPG blurry compared to PDF?

Likely DPI too low. PDFs use vector graphics that scale infinitely—JPGs are fixed-resolution pixels. At 150 DPI, text appears sharp at 100% zoom but blurs when magnified. Solution: Use 300 DPI minimum for print or detail-critical work. 600 DPI for large-format or extreme zoom requirements.

How long does conversion take for large PDFs?

~1-2 seconds per page. 10-page PDF: 15 seconds. 50-page PDF: 90 seconds. 200-page PDF: 5-6 minutes. Processing time increases with page complexity (images vs text-only). Very large PDFs (500+ pages) may timeout—split into smaller chunks first.

Can I convert password-protected or encrypted PDFs?

No. Tool can't access password-protected PDFs. Unlock PDF first using password, then convert. If you don't have password, you legally can't convert the file. Some PDFs have printing restrictions but no password—these usually convert successfully.

What happens to PDF form fields and annotations?

Form fields render as filled-in values (if any). Empty fields appear as empty boxes. Annotations (highlights, comments, stamps) render as visible elements in JPG. Interactive elements (buttons, links) become static images—interactivity lost. For preserving functionality, keep original PDF.

Why do converted images lose transparency?

JPG doesn't support transparency—format limitation. Transparent PDF backgrounds become white in JPG output. If you need transparency, request PNG output instead (if tool offers), or use image editor to remove white background post-conversion.
