How to convert a PDF to JPG
- Select Choose file or drop your PDF on the box.
- Choose a Resolution: 72, 150 or 300 DPI. Move the JPG quality slider if you want smaller files.
- To convert only some pages, type them in Pages, like
1-3, 5. Leave it empty for all pages. - Select Download. A one-page file downloads as a JPG. Several pages download as one ZIP.
What you get
Each page is drawn on a white background and saved as a JPG. The image size in pixels equals the page size in inches times the DPI, so a US Letter page at 150 DPI is 1275 by 1650 pixels, and an A4 page at 300 DPI is about 2480 by 3508. Files are named after the PDF with the page number, such as report-page-02.jpg, and carry no extra metadata.
Which DPI to pick
DPI means dots per inch. 72 matches how a screen shows a PDF at 100 percent and gives the smallest files. 150 is the best everyday choice: crisp on screen and light enough to email. 300 is the standard for printing and for scans that must stay readable when zoomed. Higher DPI means bigger images and longer waits, and pages beyond 50 megapixels are scaled down automatically.
Good uses
Sharing one page as a picture in chat, putting slides in a document, uploading a page to a site that only takes images, making a thumbnail, or saving a diagram from a report.
