About the PDF to JPG tool
Turn each page of a PDF into a crisp JPG image you can post, embed, or edit. Pages render at 2× resolution for sharp text.
Everything happens locally in your browser, which is why there is no file-size cap and no queue. The limit is your own device's memory, not a server's patience.
How to use it
- Add your PDF.
- Choose which pages to export and at what resolution.
- Download the images.
Resolution is the setting that matters
A PDF page has no inherent pixel size — it is described in points. The resolution you pick decides how many pixels each page becomes.
72–96 dpi is fine for on-screen viewing. 150 dpi suits reading detailed text on screen. 300 dpi is the standard for print, and produces files several times larger.
What the numbers look like
An A4 page at different resolutions:
- 96 dpi → about 794 × 1123 pixels
- 150 dpi → about 1240 × 1754 pixels
- 300 dpi → about 2480 × 3508 pixels
The 300 dpi version has roughly ten times the pixels of the 96 dpi one, so expect the file to be very much larger.
Common mistakes
- Exporting at 72 dpi and then trying to print, which looks visibly soft.
- Exporting a 200-page document to images when you only needed one page.
- Expecting the text to remain selectable. Once it is a JPG, the text is just pixels.
Questions people ask
Can I convert back to PDF?
Yes, with the Image to PDF tool — though the text will remain an image rather than becoming selectable again.
What resolution should I choose?
150 dpi for screen reading, 300 dpi for printing, 96 dpi for a quick preview.
Does the text stay searchable?
No. Converting to an image removes the text layer. Keep the PDF if searchability matters.
