How to convert PDF to JPG
- Add your .PDF file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .JPG in a few seconds.
- Download your new .JPG file.
What to expect
- Text becomes non-selectable: all PDF text is baked into pixels and cannot be copied, searched, or edited in the resulting
JPG. - JPG uses lossy compression - fine text and sharp lines can develop artifacts at low quality settings; use
PNGinstead if sharpness matters more than file size. - Each page exports as a separate file: there is no multi-page
JPG, so a 10-page PDF produces 10 individual images.
Frequently asked questions
Does this work on scanned PDFs?
Yes - a scanned
PDF is already composed of page images, so converting to JPG simply re-encodes them at whatever resolution the original scan was made.Can I convert just one page?
Yes - most tools let you choose a page range before converting; in macOS Preview, click the page in the sidebar before exporting.
Why is my exported JPG blurry?
The export resolution was set too low - try 150-300 dpi in Acrobat's settings or use
pdftoppm -r 300; some tools default to 96 dpi, which is fine for screens but not for print.Should I use JPG or PNG for PDF pages?
Use
PNG for pages with text or sharp lines - it is lossless and produces cleaner results; choose JPG when a smaller file size matters more, such as for photo-heavy pages shared online.Our free PDF toolsAll tools →
