PDF to JPG is the same tool as PDF to Images

PDF to JPG, PDF to PNG and PDF to Images share one page rendering feature. Opening this page just starts you with JPG selected; the PNG button is still there if you want it. Use whichever address you remember, and switch the format on screen if you need the other one.

About the resolution setting

The resolution you pick is the resolution you get. At 96 DPI a US Letter page is 816 by 1056 pixels, at 150 DPI it is 1275 by 1650, and at 220 DPI it is 1870 by 2420. Choose 96 DPI for the screen, 150 DPI for most uses, and 220 DPI for print or fine detail.

Tips

  • Use a higher resolution for text-heavy pages you plan to zoom into.
  • Use a lower resolution for quick previews you are attaching to an email or a message.
  • Need the pictures inside the PDF, not the whole page? Use Extract PDF Images instead.

Frequently asked questions

Do I get one JPG per page?

Yes. A 5-page PDF produces 5 JPG files, each named after the original document with the page number added, for example contract_page1.jpg.

Can I still get PNG images from this page instead?

Yes. PDF to JPG opens with JPG selected, but the format buttons stay active, so you can switch to PNG before converting. It is the same underlying tool as PDF to Images.

Is the resolution setting exact?

Yes. The image comes out at the DPI you pick: a US Letter page is 816 pixels wide at 96 DPI, 1275 at 150 DPI and 1870 at 220 DPI.

How do I download every page at once?

A "Download all as a ZIP" button appears once the pages are ready, so you do not need to select Download on each page individually.

What if my PDF is password protected?

Remove the password first with Unlock PDF, then convert the unlocked copy to JPG.
