How to convert PDF to JPG

Select a PDF, pick the image quality (up to 216 DPI), and convert. A single page downloads as one JPG; multi-page PDFs come as a ZIP with one image per page. Great for sharing pages on social media, in chats or in presentations.

When you need images instead of a PDF

Uploading to a site that only accepts images, putting a page into a slide deck, posting a page to social media, or sending something to a phone that handles pictures better than documents. All of these need the page as a picture rather than as a document.

JPG or PNG

Use JPG for pages that are photographs or scans — it is far smaller and the compression suits continuous-tone images. Use PNG for pages that are text, diagrams or line art, where JPG's compression produces visible fuzz around sharp edges. A page of black text on white is noticeably crisper as PNG.

Resolution

For viewing on screen, the default is fine. For printing, or for running the image through OCR afterwards, choose the highest setting — recognition accuracy falls off quickly below 300 DPI equivalent.

Flattening a document deliberately

Converting to images and rebuilding with Image to PDF destroys the text layer completely. That is usually a downside, but it is occasionally exactly what you want after redaction, when you need certainty that nothing survives underneath.

Frequently asked questions

What quality are the JPG images?

You choose: Normal (108 DPI), High (144 DPI) or Very High (216 DPI). Higher DPI means sharper images and larger files.

How do I get all pages as images?

Just convert — every page automatically becomes its own JPG, and multi-page PDFs download as a single ZIP.

Can I convert one specific page?

Extract that page first with the Extract Pages tool, then convert the result to JPG.

Should I convert to JPG or PNG?

JPG for photographs and scans, PNG for text, diagrams and line art. JPG compression blurs sharp edges, which is most visible on text.

What resolution should I use?

The default suits screen viewing. Choose the highest setting for printing or if you plan to run OCR on the images afterwards.

Can I convert only one page?

Yes. Extract the page you want first with Extract Pages, then convert it.
