When you need pages as pictures
Sometimes a PDF is the wrong format. You might want to post a page on social media, send it in a chat app that previews images better than documents, add a page to a slide presentation, or upload it to a form that accepts only images. Converting the page to JPG solves all of these.
This tool renders each page of your PDF exactly as a PDF reader would show it and saves it as a JPG image.
Choosing pages
Leave the “Pages” box empty to convert the whole document. To convert only part of it, type page numbers and ranges:
3converts just page 31-4converts pages 1 to 42, 5, 7-9converts pages 2, 5, 7, 8 and 9
If you type a page that does not exist, the tool tells you how many pages the file has. After you choose a file, the page count is shown above the options.
Resolution and quality
Resolution (DPI) controls how many pixels each page gets:
- 72 DPI makes small images, fine for quick previews and thumbnails.
- 150 DPI is sharp on phones and computer screens and keeps files moderate. It is the default.
- 300 DPI is print quality. Use it when the images will be printed or when small text must stay crisp, but expect much larger files.
JPG quality trades file size against detail. Around 85 looks very close to the original; lower values make smaller files with some blurring around text.
Downloading the images
After converting, you see a preview of every page. Download them one at a time, or press “Download all as ZIP” to get everything in a single file. Images are named after your PDF and the page number, such as report-page-2.jpg, so they stay in order.
Common uses
- Sharing on social media or in chats: post a flyer, menu or event poster that was designed as a PDF.
- Slides and documents: place a page from a report into a presentation or a word-processor file as a picture.
- Image-only upload forms: some portals accept a JPG of a certificate or a letter but not a PDF.
- Previews: create a thumbnail of a document’s first page for a website or a product listing.
JPG or PNG for PDF pages?
JPG is the best choice for most pages, especially scans and pages with photos, because the files stay small. For pages that are mostly sharp black text on white, such as a spreadsheet, JPG can show slight smudging around letters at lower quality settings. Keep the quality at 85 or higher for those, or pick 300 DPI if the text is small.
Tips
- Need one PDF made from images instead? That is the opposite direction: use JPG to PDF.
- Images too big to send? Shrink them with Compress Image, or change their dimensions with Resize Image.
- Want PNG instead of JPG? PNG keeps sharp text edges perfectly. Convert the pages here, then use JPG to PNG, or keep the JPGs, which are much smaller for photos and scans.
- Only need a smaller PDF? Compress PDF keeps the document as a PDF.
Private by design
The PDF is opened and drawn inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded, which matters for statements, contracts and other private documents. There is no account to create and no watermark on the images.
Works on phones and PCs
The converter works in any up-to-date browser on iPhone, Android, Windows or Mac, with no app to install. Pages are processed one at a time to keep memory use low on phones. Long documents at 300 DPI can take a while on older devices; a progress bar shows which page is being converted, and the tool warns you about very large files before you start.
