Convert PDF pages to JPG

Your browser draws each page and saves it as a JPG at the resolution you pick. The PDF stays in this tab from start to finish.

    Which resolution to choose

    ResolutionAn A4 page becomesGood for
    72 DPI595 × 842 pxThumbnails and quick previews
    150 DPI1240 × 1754 pxReading on a screen, chat, slides

    300 DPI2480 × 3508 pxPrinting, and text recognition software

    150 DPI is the default because it is sharp on a laptop or phone screen and keeps each image to a few hundred kilobytes. Go to 300 only when the pages are going to be printed or read by text recognition software: the image has four times as many pixels and the file grows to match.

    Very large pages, such as posters and engineering drawings, are drawn at a lower resolution than the one selected when the full size would exceed about 16 megapixels. Safari on iPhones and iPads refuses to draw an image larger than that, and a page that fails halfway through a batch helps nobody. The row reports the pixel size the pages came out at.

    What ends up in the image

    Everything you would see on the page in a PDF reader: text, drawings, scanned images, filled form fields and stamps. It is a picture of the page, so the text in it can no longer be selected, searched or copied, and links stop working. Keep the PDF if you will need any of that later.

    Each page becomes a separate file, numbered with leading zeros (report-01.jpg, report-02.jpg) so that a file manager lists page 10 after page 9 and not after page 1. Type a range such as 1-3, 7 to convert only those pages.

    JPG or PNG?

    JPG is the right choice for scans, photographs and pages with a lot of colour: the files are small and every program opens them. On a page that is mostly black text on white, JPG leaves a faint haze around the letters. The PDF to PNG converter keeps those edges exact and, on text-only pages, often makes a smaller file as well.

    Questions

    Is my PDF uploaded to convert it?

    No. The pages are drawn by pdf.js, a PDF renderer that this site serves from its own domain and runs inside your browser. The document is handed to it in memory and no request carries it anywhere. The page carries on working with your connection switched off once it has loaded.

    Can I convert only some pages?

    Yes. Type them in the pages box: 5 for one page, 2-4 for a range, 1, 3, 8- to combine them. Leave it blank to convert the whole document.

    Why is the text blurry?

    The resolution is too low for how the image is being viewed. Choose 200 or 300 DPI and convert again. If the page is mostly text, PNG will keep the letters sharper than JPG at any resolution.

    Does it work with password-protected PDFs?

    No. A PDF that asks for a password cannot be opened here, and the row says so. Remove the protection in a PDF reader you trust, then convert the unlocked copy.

    Is there a limit on pages or file size?

    No limit is set by the site. The practical one is your device's memory: a few hundred pages at 150 DPI is fine on a laptop, and a phone is happier with smaller batches.
