PDF to JPG: a complete guide
Rendering a page versus pulling out an image
This PDF image converter does two different jobs, and people often ask for one when they mean the other. Here's the difference in plain terms.
Rendering takes the whole page, text, background, borders and all, and flattens them into a single picture of that page.
Extracting pulls out only the photographs that were stored inside the page. You get each picture at the size it was saved at, with no page around it, and a photo used on several pages comes out once.
So, to get a brochure page exactly as it looks, be sure to leave the settings as they are. To get the photographs that are inside that brochure, turn Extract embedded images only on.
Choosing the resolution
- 150 DPI (screen) produces smaller files for WhatsApp, email, social media or a website.
- 300 DPI (print) is best for printing at the original size.
- 600 DPI (archival) creates much bigger files, for drawings with fine detail that someone will zoom into.
A quick way to decide. If it will only ever be looked at on a phone, 150 is all you need. If it goes on paper, use 300.
The Quality slider is the other half of file size for JPG and WebP. The higher it is, the more information will be kept and the bigger the file will be. PNG is lossless, so it completely ignores the slider.
JPG, PNG or WebP
- JPG is the most compatible choice, and small for pages with photos.
- PNG is lossless and keeps transparency, so text and line drawings stay perfectly crisp. Files are larger.
- WebP is much smaller than PNG with similar sharpness, ideal for websites.
One thing worth knowing. JPG cannot hold a transparent background, so any clear areas on the page are laid on white for you. PNG and WebP keep them clear. Want those on white too? Tick Use a white background instead of transparency.
Convert only the pages you need
Enter a page range, for example 1, 3-5, 8, to convert only those pages. Leave it empty and every page is converted. You do not have to convert a 200 page report to get page 14 out of it.
Each page becomes its own image, named after the page it came from. Several pages are delivered together in a zip so you can download them in one go. Want separate files instead? Untick Deliver as a zip archive. A single page always downloads on its own.
Common reasons to turn a PDF into images
- Posting a flyer or menu on Instagram, where PDFs are not accepted.
- Adding a page to a presentation or a document that only takes images.
- Sending a single page over WhatsApp so it opens instantly on any phone.
- Uploading a certificate or ID to a form that asks for a JPG.
- Putting a page of a report on a web page, where WebP loads fastest.
- Pulling product photos out of a supplier catalogue.
Is converting a PDF to JPG free?
Yes. You get 20 credits a day with no account and no email address.
This tool costs 1 credit per file, so that is 20 PDFs a day at no cost. A hundred page document still costs one credit, not a hundred.
- 20 credits a day, refreshed daily
- 1 credit per file, whatever the page count
- PDFs up to 25 MB without an account, 100 MB with a free one
- No account, no email, no card
- No watermarks on any image
Free files run in the normal queue. Paid plans from Standard upwards move you to the priority queue, which helps on long documents at 600 DPI.
Is it safe to upload my documents?
Yes. Your files are deleted from our servers one hour after processing, automatically.
Nothing is stored past that hour. Nothing is read by a person. Nothing is used to train anything. Every upload and download runs over HTTPS, so your file is encrypted both ways.
The deletion runs on a timer, not on request. You do not have to remember to clear anything, and the hour runs whether you come back or not.
Common problems and fixes
Almost all of these come down to one setting. Here is what to change.
| Problem | Why it happens | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| The text looks blurry | Resolution is too low for the job | Switch from 150 DPI to 300, or to 600 for fine detail |
| Thin lines and small text look fuzzy | JPG softens sharp edges | Choose PNG instead, which keeps them crisp |
| The background should be clear but is white | JPG cannot store transparency, or the white background option is on | Choose PNG or WebP and untick Use a white background instead of transparency |
| You got pictures of pages, not the photos | The tool rendered the page | Tick Extract embedded images only |
| You got the photos, not the page | Extract mode is on | Untick Extract embedded images only |
| Extract says there are no photos | The pages you picked have none stored in them | Pick other pages, or untick extract to convert the pages themselves |
| The images are enormous | 600 DPI on a long document | Drop to 150 or 300 DPI, or lower the Quality slider |
| You only wanted one page | No page range was set | Type the page number in the Page range box |
| You got a zip and wanted separate files | Zip delivery is on to start with | Untick Deliver as a zip archive |
| The conversion fails | The PDF is password protected | Remove the password with Unlock PDF first |
| The PDF will not upload | It is larger than 25 MB | Sign in for files up to 100 MB, or shrink it first with Compress PDF |
| You wanted the words, not a picture | Wrong tool for that job | Use PDF to Text or PDF OCR |
| You need to go the other way | Wrong tool | Use JPG to PDF to turn images into a PDF |

PDF to JPG — frequently asked questions
Short, straight answers to what people ask most.
How do I convert a PDF to JPG?
Upload the PDF, choose JPG and a resolution, and convert. Every page turns into its own image. Several pages arrive together in a zip, or as separate files if you untick the zip option.
How do I get high quality images from a PDF?
Raise the resolution. Use 300 DPI if you're going to print the result, or 600 DPI for really fine detail. And if the page is mostly text, pick PNG rather than JPG, so the letters stay sharp.
Can I convert just one page of a PDF to an image?
Yes. Type that page number in the Page range box, say 7, and only that page is converted. A single image always downloads on its own, so there's no zip to open.
Can I get the original photos out of a PDF?
Yes. Tick Extract embedded images only, and instead of pictures of the pages you get each photo that was stored in the file, at the size it was saved at, with no page around it.
Can I convert a PDF to PNG instead?
Yes, just choose PNG as the image format. PNG keeps transparency and keeps text and line drawings perfectly sharp, which makes it the better pick for documents, though the files are bigger than JPG.
How do I turn a PDF into a picture on Windows or Mac?
The same way on both. It all runs in your browser, so there's nothing to install on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android or iOS.
Will the images have a transparent background?
In PNG and WebP, yes: anywhere the page has nothing drawn stays clear, unless you tick Use a white background instead of transparency. JPG can't hold transparency, so those areas are laid on white for you, never turned black.
How many pages can I convert at once?
As many as the PDF has. There's no page limit, and the whole document costs a single credit. The PDF itself can be up to 25 MB without an account, or 100 MB with a free one.
What is the difference between JPG and JPEG?
Nothing at all. They're two names for the same format. The shorter one stuck because old versions of Windows only allowed three-letter file extensions.
Can I convert a PDF to an image on my phone?
Yes. It works in your phone browser on Android and iPhone, and the images save straight to your downloads, ready to post or send.
