How to convert a PDF to JPG or PNG
- Choose JPG or PNG and a resolution.
- Drop your PDF into the box. Each page is rendered and appears as a preview.
- Download a single page, or Download all pages as a ZIP.
Why turn PDF pages into images?
- Post a page of a document on social media or in a chat app that doesn't preview PDFs.
- Insert a page into a presentation, website or design tool as a picture.
- Create thumbnails or previews of brochures, menus and flyers.
Going the other direction? Use Image to PDF. To make the exported images smaller, use the Image Compressor.
Choosing the right resolution
Resolution is measured in dots per inch (DPI). At 72 DPI an A4 page becomes about 595×842 pixels: fine for quick previews and thumbnails. 150 DPI gives about 1240×1754 pixels, sharp on phones and laptop screens and a good default for sharing. 300 DPI produces about 2480×3508 pixels, which is what printers expect and what you need when zooming into small text or detailed diagrams. Higher DPI means larger files and slower conversion.
JPG or PNG for PDF pages?
Pages that are mostly text, tables and line drawings look crispest as PNG, because PNG never blurs sharp edges. Pages with photographs are much smaller as JPG with no visible quality loss. If you are not sure, use JPG at 150 DPI for sharing and PNG at 300 DPI for anything that will be printed or edited.
Common uses
- Sharing one page of a document in WhatsApp, Instagram or Slack, which preview images instantly but not PDFs.
- Adding a page to PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva or a website as an image.
- Uploading documents to forms that accept only JPG or PNG.
- Creating preview thumbnails for e-books, brochures and menus.
Password-protected PDFs
Encrypted PDFs can’t be rendered without the password. Open the file in a PDF reader, enter the password and save an unprotected copy, then convert that copy here.
Converting a single page
All pages are converted, and you can download any single page by clicking its card on the result screen, or every page together as a ZIP. If you only ever need one page from a long document, you can also extract it first with Split PDF and then convert the smaller file, which is faster for documents with hundreds of pages.
Fonts and appearance
Pages are rendered with PDF.js, the same engine Firefox uses to display PDFs, so the images look the way the document looks in a browser. Embedded fonts, vector graphics, highlights and form field values are all drawn into the image.
Frequently asked questions
What resolution should I use?
150 DPI is sharp on screens and keeps files small. Use 300 DPI for printing or when you need to zoom into small text. 72 DPI is enough for quick previews.
JPG or PNG?
JPG produces smaller files and is best for pages with photos. PNG is lossless and keeps text and line drawings perfectly crisp.
Can I convert only one page?
All pages are rendered, but each has its own download button, so you can save just the page you need.
Are my PDFs uploaded?
No. Pages are rendered by your browser using the open-source PDF.js engine.
