Images are easier to post, message and drop into other documents than a PDF. Upload a PDF and each page is saved as its own high-quality JPG.
How to use the PDF to JPG Converter
- Upload your PDF.
- Press JPG to convert every page.
- Download your images.
What to expect
Every page included
Each page of the document becomes a separate image.
Clear at 200 DPI
Pages are rendered at 200 DPI with high JPG quality, so text stays readable.
Small and shareable
JPG files are compact and open everywhere, which suits WhatsApp, email and social media.
What people use PDF to JPG for
A PDF can't be posted on most social networks, and it is clumsy to view on a phone. Turning its pages into pictures fixes both problems, and the images can go anywhere that accepts a photo.
- Posting a flyer, menu or event poster on Instagram or Facebook.
- Sending a single page in a chat without sharing the whole document.
- Adding a page to a presentation or a Word document as a picture.
- Uploading a document to a form that only accepts images.
What you get
Every page is rendered at 200 DPI and saved as a JPG with high quality settings. A single-page PDF downloads as one image. A longer PDF downloads as a ZIP file with an image for each page, which keeps everything in order and saves you from lots of separate downloads.
| Your PDF | Your download |
|---|---|
| One page | A single JPG file |
| Several pages | A ZIP containing one JPG for each page |
| Several PDFs | A ZIP containing the images from all of them |
JPG or PNG for your pages?
If your page is mostly fine text or line art, try PDF to PNG instead. For a fuller comparison, read JPG vs PNG vs WEBP.
| JPG | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Photos, brochures and colorful pages | Text, charts and diagrams |
| File size | Smaller | Larger |
| Quality | Very slight compression | Lossless |
Using your images on social media
Document pages are tall, and Instagram may crop them. Run a page through Instagram no crop to fit the whole thing on a post or story canvas with nothing cut off.
Going back to PDF
If you have edited your images or want to combine them with others, Image to PDF puts them back into one document. Other conversions are listed on the PDF tools page.
If your images don't look right
| What you see | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| A ZIP instead of an image | Your PDF has several pages | Open the ZIP to see an image for each page |
| Small text looks soft | JPG compression affects fine edges | Use PDF to PNG for a sharper result |
| Very large file | A big page rendered in full detail | Convert the JPG to WEBP for web use |
| An error when converting | A damaged or protected file | Remove the password, or save a fresh copy, and try again |
How big your images will be
The pixel size depends on the page size in your PDF. Because pages are rendered at 200 DPI, a standard A4 page comes out at around 1,654 by 2,339 pixels, and a US Letter page at about 1,700 by 2,200. That is detailed enough for reading on a phone, sharing in chats and everyday printing. Most social networks will shrink it further when you upload it.
Sharing one page of a long document
Sending a whole report to someone who needs one page is rarely helpful. After converting, open the ZIP, find the page you need and share just that image. It opens right in a chat, without a PDF viewer, and it doesn't reveal the rest of your document.
