How it works
The PDF to JPG converter rasterizes each page of a PDF document to a JPG image at a configurable DPI. Use it to create image previews of document pages, extract page images for editing, convert PDFs for upload to image-only platforms, or produce screen-ready thumbnails of reports and presentations.
PDF-to-image conversion is needed in several scenarios: a CMS requires image uploads but you only have a PDF. A client wants PNG previews of each slide for a website carousel. A form system needs the PDF pages as images for display. An email template needs the report cover as a header image. This tool handles all of these.
How to use it: upload your PDF. Set the DPI (72 DPI for screen previews, 150 DPI for web images, 300 DPI for print-quality output). Select the page range to convert (all pages, specific pages, or first page only). Click Convert. Each page downloads as a JPG, or all pages download as a ZIP.
DPI guide: - 72 DPI: small, fast previews for web UI - 150 DPI: good balance of quality and file size for most web uses - 300 DPI: print-quality, very large files - 600 DPI: archival quality, extremely large files
Output size: a US Letter (8.5"×11") page at 150 DPI produces a 1275×1650px image. At 300 DPI: 2550×3300px.
Privacy: PDF rendering uses a PDF.js renderer in the browser. No page content is uploaded.
Frequently Asked Questions
- 150 DPI is the recommended setting for web and screen use — it produces clear, sharp page images without excessive file size. 72 DPI is suitable for small thumbnail previews. Use 300 DPI only when the images will be viewed at large sizes or used for print.
- Yes. Enter a page range in the Pages field (e.g., 1-3, 5, 10-15) to convert only those pages. This saves processing time for large PDFs where you only need a few pages as images.
- Yes. Switch the output format to PNG in the format selector. PNG is lossless and supports transparency. For text-heavy PDFs (reports, contracts), PNG produces sharper text at the cost of larger files. JPG at quality 90 is usually sufficient and produces smaller files.
- Increase the DPI setting. Text blurriness in the JPG output means the render resolution is too low. Try 200–300 DPI. Also ensure JPG quality is set to 85 or higher — very low quality settings (below 60) produce visible JPEG artifacts in text-heavy pages.
