Why this works

Render each page of a PDF as a separate JPG image — useful for embedding pages in slides, posting to social media, or sharing a quick preview without forcing the recipient to open a PDF.

Sometimes a PDF isn’t the right format for what you’re trying to do. Slide tools (PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides) can’t embed PDFs as inline images. Social media platforms display image attachments much more prominently than PDF links. Email previews on mobile show JPG attachments inline but treat PDF attachments as collapsed icons. In all these cases, rendering the PDF as JPGs and using the images directly is the right call.

PDF to JPG converts each page of your source PDF into one JPG file. The output is a ZIP containing one JPG per page, named `original-name_page-1.jpg`, `original-name_page-2.jpg`, etc.

Resolution matters. We expose three quality settings. High (300 DPI) is print-quality — the right pick when the JPGs will end up on a printed page, in a magazine layout, or anywhere image clarity matters more than file size. Medium (150 DPI) is on-screen quality — indistinguishable from high on a typical monitor, half the file size. Web (72 DPI) is the smallest output, suitable for thumbnails, web previews, and any context where file size dominates quality concerns (e.g. embedding all pages of a long PDF into a webpage).

The reverse direction (combining JPGs back into a PDF) is JPG to PDF — same tool family, opposite direction.

For a single-page PDF, the output is a single JPG, not a ZIP — we skip the wrapper in that case for convenience. For multi-page PDFs, the ZIP keeps everything tidy.

How it works

  1. 1
    Upload your PDF
    Drop the PDF whose pages you want as JPGs into the upload box.
  2. 2
    Pick the quality
    High (print-quality, 300 DPI), Medium (on-screen, 150 DPI), or Web (small, 72 DPI).
  3. 3
    Run the conversion
    Press Convert. Processing takes 1–2 seconds per page at standard quality.
  4. 4
    Download the ZIP
    You’ll get a ZIP of one JPG per page (or a single JPG if the source is one page).

Real-world uses

Presenters

Embed PDF pages as slides in PowerPoint or Keynote, which can’t accept PDFs as inline content.

Social-media managers

Post PDF pages as image carousels on LinkedIn, Twitter, or Instagram, where engagement on images dwarfs PDF links.

Bloggers

Embed pages of an annotated report into a blog post as inline imagery.

Educators

Drop pages of a textbook excerpt into a learning-management system that doesn’t support PDF embedding.

Common questions

What resolution should I pick?

Medium (150 DPI) is right for almost every on-screen use — emails, web embeds, slides. High (300 DPI) is for print output. Web (72 DPI) is for thumbnails or large-volume web previews where file size dominates.

Will I get one image or one per page?

One JPG per page. A 10-page PDF produces 10 JPGs zipped together. A single-page PDF produces a single JPG (no ZIP wrapper).

Can I get PNG output instead?

Yes — use the PDF to PNG tool. PNG is better for line art, screenshots, and anything with text (no JPG compression artefacts on sharp edges). JPG is better for photographic content (smaller files at similar visual quality).

Will the JPGs preserve transparency?

No — JPG doesn’t support transparency as a format. Any transparent regions in the source PDF render as white in the JPG output. For transparency-preserving output, use PDF to PNG.

How do I select specific pages instead of all of them?

Use Extract Pages first to pull the pages you want into a new PDF, then run that through PDF to JPG. Two-step, fully free.

Is there a page limit?

No hard page cap — only the upload-size cap on your plan (25 MB free, 1 GB Pro). At 300 DPI the output ZIP can be large for long PDFs; consider Medium DPI for documents over 50 pages.
