How to use PDF to JPG: a step-by-step guide
Turn each page into a high-quality JPG image, delivered as a ZIP.
Open the free tool, follow the steps and download your result. No sign-up required.
Before you start
- One PDF within the 25 MB free-plan limit.
- A DPI setting between 72 and 300; 150 is a good general default.
- Enough storage for a ZIP containing one image per page.
Step by step
- Upload the PDF.
- Choose the image quality (DPI).
- Download the JPG directly, or the ZIP when the PDF has several pages.
Common mistakes
- Choosing 300 DPI for a long document without planning for a large ZIP file.
- Expecting selectable text in the JPG; converted images are not searchable.
After you download
Extract the ZIP and check that every page has an image. Use a higher DPI only when you need print resolution.
Questions and answers
Which renderer is used?
Poppler’s pdftoppm, the engine behind many Linux PDF viewers, so text and vector art render accurately.
Can I convert a single page?
Yes — split the PDF to the page you need first, then run PDF to JPG on that extract.
Which DPI should I choose?
150 for screens, 300 for printing. Higher DPI means larger files and slower processing.
