What it is
PDF to JPG saves every page of a PDF as its own image file. Use it to reuse slides as pictures, to hand in a scanned PDF as photos, or to share a page on a blog or in a messenger. You choose the resolution (DPI), the format (JPG or PNG) and the pages, and several results can be downloaded as one ZIP. Drawing is done in your browser by PDF.js, so nothing is uploaded to a server.
How to use
- Drop one PDF on the dashed area or press Choose PDF. A preview of the first page and the page count appear.
- Type the pages in Pages to convert, for example
1-3, 5, 8-. Leave it blank to convert all pages. - Choose the Resolution (72, 150 or 300 DPI) and the Image format (JPG or PNG). For JPG you can also set the quality (50 to 100).
- Press Convert to images. Pages are converted one by one with progress, and you can Stop at any time.
- Download results one by one or press Download all (ZIP). Files are named like
name-p01.jpg, with the page number.
Rules and limits
- Resolution: pages are drawn at the page size in points times DPI divided by 72. A4 is 595×842 px at 72 DPI, 1240×1754 px at 150 DPI and 2480×3508 px at 300 DPI.
- Caps: one page is drawn at no more than 50 million pixels and 16,000 pixels per side. Larger pages are drawn at a lower resolution and a notice is shown. If the selection adds up to more than 1.2 billion pixels the conversion is refused with advice to reduce it.
- Background: transparent areas are filled with white. JPG has no transparency, and PNG files are saved on a white background too.
- Rotation: the rotation stored in a page is applied so the image matches what you see in a viewer.
- Formats: JPG is lossy and small; PNG is lossless, keeps text and lines crisp, but is larger.
- Limits: 100 MB per file; password-protected PDFs are not supported. Results are kept in browser memory, so building a ZIP of very many pages can be slow.
- Library: PDF.js (Apache-2.0) draws the pages. Fonts are drawn as embedded in the PDF. Non-embedded fonts are replaced by similar fonts on your device, and the CJK character maps (CMaps) and standard font files are loaded only when needed.
Examples
| Situation | Setting |
|---|---|
| Share a page in a messenger or blog | 150 DPI, JPG quality 85 to 90 |
| Image for printing | 300 DPI, JPG quality 90 or higher |
| Document with sharp text and shapes | 150 DPI, PNG |
| Only the cover | Pages to convert 1 |
To bundle the images back into one PDF use JPG to PDF, and if the images are too large use the Image Compressor. To pull the needed pages out of the PDF first, Split PDF is handy.
FAQ
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. Drawing the pages as images happens entirely inside your browser and the file is never uploaded. Scans of ID cards or contracts stay on your device, and results are written to it only when you download them.
Which DPI should I choose?
For viewing on screen 72 DPI is enough (about 595×842 pixels for A4), for everyday use 150 DPI (about 1240×1754 pixels) is a good balance, and for printing or zooming into small text use 300 DPI (about 2480×3508 pixels). Doubling the DPI doubles width and height and roughly quadruples the file size.
Can it handle very large PDFs or many pages?
Pages are rendered one after another with progress shown. A single page is limited to 50 million pixels and 16,000 pixels on a side, and the DPI is lowered automatically for larger pages. If the selected pages together pass 1.2 billion pixels the browser could run out of memory, so the conversion is refused and you are asked to lower the DPI or select fewer pages. If you stop midway, the pages already converted can still be downloaded.
Why do fonts look different or characters break?
Pages are drawn as they are described in the PDF. Fonts embedded in the PDF appear as they should, but fonts that are not embedded are replaced by similar fonts installed on your device, so letterforms may differ. PDFs for Korean, Chinese and Japanese text that rely on the standard character maps (CMaps) instead of embedding a font are supported too. The needed map files and the standard fonts are fetched from this site only when a PDF asks for them (no external servers). If your device has no font for that language, characters may come out blank. The result is a picture, so the text cannot be selected or copied.
Does it work with password-protected PDFs?
A PDF that asks for a password when opened is not supported yet, and you will see a message saying so. Remove the password first and add the unlocked file.
