Sometimes you need a picture, not a document — dropping a page into a slide deck, posting it somewhere that only accepts images, or just previewing a page without opening a PDF viewer. Converting each page to a JPG (or PNG) handles that.
Steps
- Open PDF to JPG and add your file.
- Choose PNG (lossless, larger files, better for text/diagrams) or JPG (smaller files, better for photos).
- Run it. A single-page PDF downloads as one image; a multi-page PDF downloads as a .zip containing one image per page.
PNG or JPG — which one?
- PNG keeps text and line art crisp with no compression artifacts, at the cost of a bigger file. Better for pages with text, tables, or diagrams you might zoom into.
- JPG compresses more aggressively and produces smaller files, but can introduce slight blurring or banding around sharp edges and text. Better for pages that are mostly photos.
Resolution
Each page renders at roughly 2x scale by default (a bit lower automatically for very long documents, to keep things running smoothly), which is sharp enough for on-screen use and most printing. Since everything renders in your own browser rather than on a server, there's no fixed server-side resolution cap — the limit is really just your device's available memory for very large files.
Need it to go the other way?
If you're starting from photos or scans and want a single PDF out, JPG/PNG to PDF does the reverse — pick your images, drag them into order, and they become one PDF.
