How to convert PDF pages to images
- Drop a PDF onto the box or click to browse.
- Pick JPG or PNG, a resolution, and optionally a page range like
1-3, 6. Leave the range blank for every page. - Click Convert to images. Thumbnails appear as each page finishes; download pages individually or all at once.
Rendering is done by pdf.js — the same engine Firefox uses to display PDFs — running in your browser. Your document isn’t uploaded anywhere.
Resolution and file size
Resolution controls the pixel dimensions of each image. For an A4 page:
| dpi | Pixels (A4) | Typical JPG size | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 72 | 595 × 842 | 50–150 KB | Web previews, thumbnails |
| 150 | 1240 × 1754 | 150–500 KB | Slides, documents, email |
| 300 | 2480 × 3508 | 0.5–2 MB | Print, OCR, archiving |
PNG files are typically 2–5× larger than JPG for scanned pages but smaller for simple text-only pages.
Common uses
- Sharing a page on social media or in a chat — most platforms accept images but not PDFs.
- Putting a PDF page into a slide, document or web page.
- Previews and thumbnails for a document library.
- OCR — some OCR tools prefer images; render at 300 dpi.
- Locking down a form — an image can’t be edited as easily as a PDF form.
Notes
- Transparent backgrounds render as white in JPG (which has no transparency) and stay transparent in PNG.
- Text in the output is pixels, not selectable text. To keep text editable, extract pages as PDF with the split PDF tool instead.
- Fonts embedded in the PDF are rendered correctly; fonts that weren’t embedded are substituted, as in any viewer.
- Password-protected PDFs need the password removed first.
Going the other direction? JPG to PDF turns images back into a document.
Frequently asked questions
Which resolution should I choose?
72 dpi is fine for viewing on screen or posting online. 150 dpi is a good default for most uses. 300 dpi is print quality — an A4 page becomes about 2480×3508 pixels and a much larger file.
JPG or PNG?
JPG for pages with photos or scans (smaller files). PNG for pages that are mostly text, line art or screenshots — it keeps edges perfectly sharp and supports transparency.
Does this extract the original embedded images?
No — it renders each page as an image, exactly as it appears. That's what most people mean by "PDF to JPG". Extracting the raw embedded pictures is a different operation.
Is there a page limit?
No fixed limit. Each page is rendered one at a time, so long documents just take longer; the button shows progress.
