How to use
- Open the PDF you want to convert. The number of pages is shown.
- Choose a resolution. Screen (72 DPI) is small, Standard (150 DPI) suits most uses and Print (300 DPI) gives the sharpest images.
- Adjust the JPG quality if you want smaller files or maximum detail.
- Press Convert. A single page downloads as a JPG; several pages download together as a ZIP file.
When to turn a PDF into images
Images are easier to use than PDFs in many places: social media posts, chat messages, presentation slides, websites and image editors all accept JPG files directly. Converting a PDF page to an image is also a simple way to share a single page, embed a chart in a slide, or add a document to a photo album.
How it works
The PDF is opened by your browser and each page is drawn onto a canvas at the resolution you choose. The canvas is then saved as a JPG with the selected quality. Pages are processed strictly one after another and each canvas is cleared as soon as its image is saved, which keeps memory use low even on phones. When there is more than one page, the images are packed into a ZIP archive so you can save them in one go.
Resolution and size
Resolution is measured in dots per inch. A standard A4 page is 8.27 × 11.69 inches, so at 72 DPI the image is about 595 × 842 pixels, at 150 DPI about 1240 × 1754 pixels and at 300 DPI about 2480 × 3508 pixels. Higher resolution means sharper text but larger files. For very large pages the tool automatically limits the image size so that it stays within what mobile browsers can handle.
Quality tips
- Text-heavy pages look best at 150 DPI or higher with quality of 85% or more.
- Photographs compress well, so a lower quality setting often looks fine.
- If you need transparent backgrounds or perfectly sharp line art, JPG is not the best format; keep the PDF instead.
Privacy
Everything happens on your device. Your PDF is not uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else.
Frequently asked questions
- Which resolution should I choose?
- 150 DPI is a good default for sharing on screen and in documents. Use 300 DPI when the images will be printed or when you need to zoom into small text. 72 DPI produces the smallest files for quick previews.
- What does JPG quality change?
- Lower quality makes files smaller by compressing more strongly, which can blur fine text. 85% is a good balance; use 95% or higher for documents with small print.
- Is my PDF uploaded?
- No. Pages are drawn by your browser on your device, and the images are created locally.
- Why does it take a while on my phone?
- Each page is drawn at full resolution. To avoid running out of memory, pages are processed one at a time, so long documents at 300 DPI can take a minute on a phone.
- Can I convert only some pages?
- Split the PDF first to extract the pages you need, then convert the smaller file.
- Why are the image files named with page numbers?
- Each image is named after the PDF with its page number, padded with zeros, so the files sort in the right order in any folder.
