Frequently asked questions

What is actually inside a JPG file?

A .jpg file stores a grid of pixels compressed by discarding detail the eye is least likely to miss — fine for photographs, and irreversible.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Your PDF is read and every JPG image is rendered entirely inside your browser, so nothing ever leaves your device.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Add as many PDF files as you like and download the results one by one, or all together as a ZIP archive.

What do I get for a multi-page PDF?

One JPG image per page, numbered in order. When there is more than one image you can download them all at once as a ZIP archive.

Which resolution should I choose?

144 DPI is a good default for screens. Raise it towards 300 DPI for printing or for reading small print, and lower it when you want the smallest possible files.

Is there a file size or file count limit?

No. Everything runs on your own device, so the only practical limit is how much memory your browser has available.

Do I need to install anything?

No. There is nothing to install and no account to create — the converter runs in any modern browser, on desktop and mobile alike.

What resolution should I choose?

144 DPI, the default, for anything on screen — it is twice the PDF's native scale, which is what makes text look crisp. Use 300 DPI for printing, where an A4 page becomes about 2480×3508 pixels. Going much beyond 300 mostly buys memory pressure rather than visible quality, and the rendering happens on your own device.

Should I use JPG or PNG?

JPG for pages that are mostly photographs or artwork, where its compression is efficient and the losses are invisible. PNG for pages of text, tables or line drawings — JPEG's compression puts permanent fringing around hard edges, and text is all hard edges. When in doubt on a mixed document, PNG is the safer choice.

Will the images look exactly like my PDF?

Yes. This is the one conversion here that is genuinely pixel-exact — the page is drawn by the same rendering engine that displays it in a viewer, so fonts, graphics and layout are all preserved precisely. Every other target rebuilds the document as text and structure and loses the design.

Can I still select the text afterwards?

No — the output is pixels, so the text becomes part of the picture. That is the trade for exact appearance. If you need text you can search or edit, PDF to Word or PDF to Text extract it instead.

Why are my images bigger than the PDF?

Because a PDF stores text as compact drawing instructions while an image stores every pixel. A ten-page text document might be 200 KB as a PDF and several megabytes as images. Lowering the DPI or the quality setting brings that down.

Do I get one file per page?

Yes, numbered in order and zero-padded so they sort correctly — page 2 before page 10, which is the detail that decides whether a 30-page export is usable. A single-page PDF simply takes the document's own name.

This is the one PDF conversion that is genuinely pixel-exact. Every other target on this site rebuilds your document as text and structure, and honestly loses the page design in the process. Rendering a page to an image does the opposite: it draws the page exactly as a PDF viewer would — the fonts, the vector graphics, the photographs, the precise positions — and captures the result.

That is because rendering is what a PDF is for. The file is a set of drawing instructions, and executing them is a solved problem; the same engine that displays a PDF in your browser draws the page here and the pixels are written out as JPEG.

One image per page, numbered in order and zero-padded so that page 2 sorts before page 10 in every file manager rather than after it.

How to convert PDF pages to JPG

Add your PDF
Drop it in or choose it. The rendering happens in your browser and the file is never uploaded.
Set the resolution
The default is 144 DPI — twice the PDF's own 72-point coordinate system — which is sharp on screen and a sensible size. Raise it for print or for reading fine detail; lower it for a smaller file.
Set the quality
JPEG quality defaults to 0.92, which is high enough that compression artefacts are hard to see and low enough that the files stay reasonable. Lower it if size matters more than fidelity.
Convert and download
Each page becomes its own numbered JPEG. A single-page PDF just takes the document's name.

Choosing a resolution

PDF measures its pages in points, 72 to the inch, and the DPI setting is simply how many pixels to draw for each of those inches. So an A4 page at 144 DPI comes out about 1191×1684 pixels.

144 is the default because it is twice the native scale, which is what makes text look crisp rather than soft on any modern screen. For posting a page online or sending a preview, it is the right choice.

For printing, 300 DPI is the traditional standard and worth using — an A4 page becomes roughly 2480×3508 pixels, which prints without visible pixelation. Beyond 300 the returns fall off quickly while the memory needed to render climbs, and since the rendering happens on your own device a very large page at a very high DPI is where a browser tab will struggle.

For a thumbnail or a contact sheet, 72 DPI produces small files fast.

JPEG or PNG?

This matters more than it might seem, because the two formats fail in opposite directions and the right choice depends entirely on what your pages contain.

JPEG is lossy and was designed for photographs. Its compression works by discarding detail the eye is least sensitive to, which is extremely effective on continuous-tone images and visibly poor on hard edges — where it leaves faint ringing and blocking. Text is nothing but hard edges.

So: a PDF of photographs, scanned images or artwork converts beautifully to JPEG at a fraction of the size PNG would need. A PDF of text, tables, line drawings or screenshots gets visible fringing around every letter, permanently. Convert those to PNG instead, which is lossless and where flat colour and sharp edges compress well.

If a document is mixed — text with photographs in it — JPEG at the default quality is usually an acceptable compromise, and PNG is the safe choice when in doubt.

What you get

Exact visual fidelity: Fonts, vector graphics, images, colours and positions all as the PDF renders them. Nothing is reconstructed or approximated.
One file per page: Numbered in order with zero padding, so page 2 sorts before page 10 rather than after it — the small detail that makes a 30-page export usable.
No text: The output is pixels. Text in the image cannot be selected, searched or copied, and a document converted to images and back is no longer machine-readable. That is the trade for exactness.
No transparency: JPEG has no alpha channel, so pages render on white. PNG preserves transparency if a page has any.
Larger files than the PDF: Usually. A PDF stores text compactly as instructions; an image of that text is a grid of pixels. A small text-only PDF can become much larger as images.

About the JPG format

.jpg is the raster image format ISO/IEC introduced in 1992. It is published as an open specification under the name ISO/IEC 10918, so a file can be read without the program that wrote it.

A .jpg file stores a grid of pixels compressed by discarding detail the eye is least likely to miss — fine for photographs, and irreversible.

Files like this usually come out of iPhone, Android, and Photoshop.

Worth knowing

Detail already discarded by an earlier lossy save cannot be recovered by converting; quality settings control what happens from here, not what was lost before.
