PDF to JPG

Open a PDF and turn its pages into images — one JPG or PNG per page. Choose the resolution, list the pages you want (or leave the field empty for all of them), and press Convert. Every page appears as a preview with its own download button, and Download all bundles them into a single ZIP.

The PDF is rendered by PDF.js — the same engine Firefox uses to display PDFs — running inside your browser. The file is never uploaded, which matters for the documents people most often need as images: signed forms, ID scans, statements, and slides that haven't been made public yet.

Choosing a resolution

A PDF page has no pixels; it is measured in inches, so the image size depends on how many dots per inch you render it at. For a US Letter page (8.5 × 11 in):

• 72 dpi — 612 × 792 px. The page at 100% zoom on a standard screen: thumbnails, previews, a quick look in a chat.
• 150 dpi — 1275 × 1650 px. Sharp on a phone or laptop and readable when zoomed; the right default for sharing a page, pasting it into a slide, or posting it.
• 300 dpi — 2550 × 3300 px. Print resolution, and what OCR software and document portals asking for "high resolution" expect. Files are about four times the size of 150 dpi.

An A4 page comes out a little narrower and taller (1240 × 1754 px at 150 dpi).

JPG or PNG?

JPG makes much smaller files and is accepted everywhere, so it is the default; at the default 90% quality, text stays clean. Pick PNG for pages that are mostly text, line art, or diagrams when you need perfectly crisp edges — or when you plan to edit the image further — at the cost of larger files. The JPG quality can be changed under Options.

Common uses

• Upload a page of a PDF to a site or form that only accepts JPG or PNG
• Put a slide, chart, or diagram from a PDF into a presentation, document, or social post
• Send one signed page as a photo-style attachment
• Produce 300 dpi page images for OCR or archiving

Example

quarterly-report.pdf — 12 pages, US Letter
Pages: 1, 4-5 · Resolution: 150 dpi · Format: JPG

quarterly-report-page-01.jpg  1275×1650  ~240 KB
quarterly-report-page-04.jpg  1275×1650  ~310 KB
quarterly-report-page-05.jpg  1275×1650  ~280 KB

Page numbers are zero-padded to the length of the page count, so the files sort in page order in any folder.

Limitations

• Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked before converting.
• Each page becomes a flat picture: text in the images is no longer selectable or searchable.
• Very large pages (posters, engineering drawings) are rendered at a lower dpi when the requested one would exceed what a browser canvas can hold, about 16.7 megapixels; the page card says when that happened.
• PDFs that rely on non-embedded Chinese, Japanese, or Korean fonts may render that text in a fallback font. Fonts embedded in the PDF, which is almost all of them, render exactly.
• Fillable form fields are drawn as they appear in the saved file; interactive XFA forms are not supported.

How do I convert a PDF to JPG without uploading it?

Open the PDF above, choose a resolution, and press Convert. Every page is rendered to an image in your own browser with PDF.js, so the document never leaves your device — there is no upload, account, watermark, or page limit.

How do I convert just one page of a PDF to an image?

Type the page number in the Pages field — for example "3" — and only that page is converted. You can also list several pages and ranges, like "1, 4-6". Leave the field empty to convert the whole document.

What resolution should I use when converting a PDF to JPG?

150 dpi suits screens and sharing: a US Letter page becomes 1275 × 1650 pixels. Use 300 dpi for printing, OCR, or any portal that asks for a high-resolution scan, and 72 dpi when you only need a small preview. Higher dpi means proportionally sharper text and much larger files.

Should I convert my PDF to JPG or PNG?

JPG gives far smaller files and is accepted everywhere, which is why it is the default. PNG is lossless, so text and line drawings keep perfectly sharp edges with no compression artifacts — choose it for diagrams, screenshots of text, or images you will keep editing.

How do I download all the pages at once?

After converting more than one page, press Download all to get a single ZIP file containing every image, named after the PDF with zero-padded page numbers so they stay in order. Each page also has its own download button.

Why does the converted image look different from my PDF viewer?

Usually it doesn't — PDF.js is the renderer built into Firefox. Differences come from fonts the PDF doesn't embed (the browser substitutes a similar font) and from interactive XFA forms, which aren't rendered. Re-saving the PDF with fonts embedded, or printing it to PDF first, fixes both.

Can I convert a password-protected PDF to images?

Not directly: the tool can't decrypt a protected file and reports it instead. Open it with its password in a PDF viewer, save or print an unlocked copy, and convert that.
