Try PDF to ImagesWhen do you need to convert a PDF to an image?
PDFs are great for document sharing but can't be embedded directly in most websites, social media posts, or presentation tools. Converting PDF pages to images (JPG or PNG) unlocks a range of common use cases: sharing document previews on social media, embedding pages in Notion or Confluence, creating thumbnails for search results, or extracting specific diagrams and charts for reuse.
The conversion process renders each PDF page as a raster image at a resolution you choose. Higher DPI means sharper images but larger file sizes. Most use cases are well-served by 150 DPI, which produces crisp images on any modern screen.
Step-by-step: convert PDF to JPG in seconds
Open the PDF to Images tool
Visit the free PDF to Images converter. No account or software download required — it runs in your browser using PDF.js.
Upload your PDF
Drag and drop your PDF onto the uploader or click to browse. Multi-page PDFs are fully supported — all pages are converted.
Choose output format and quality
Select JPG (smaller file size) or PNG (lossless, supports transparency). Set the resolution — 150 DPI is good for screen use, 300 DPI for print.
Download your images
Download individual page images or all pages as a ZIP archive. Each image is named by page number for easy organisation.
Pro tips for best results
Use 150 DPI for web, 300 DPI for print
150 DPI produces sharp images for screens at reasonable file sizes. 300 DPI is needed for print-quality output but creates much larger files.
Choose PNG for diagrams and text
PNG is lossless, making it better for PDFs with sharp text, diagrams, or line art. JPG is better for photographs where some quality loss is acceptable.
Extract specific pages with PDF Splitter first
If you only need a few pages, split your PDF first to extract those pages, then convert to images. This saves time and avoids unnecessary files.
Use images for thumbnails and previews
Converting the first page to an image is a great way to create a PDF thumbnail for websites, Notion pages, or social media sharing.
Your PDF never leaves your device
PDF rendering uses PDF.js, Mozilla's open-source library, running entirely in your browser. No files are sent to any server. Confidential contracts, financial statements, and personal documents stay completely private.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting to JPG reduce quality?
JPG is a lossy format, so some quality is lost. At 85–95% quality settings (our tool's default), the difference is imperceptible for most content. For text-heavy documents, use PNG instead.
Can I convert a password-protected PDF?
Not directly. First, remove the password using the PDF Password tool, then convert the unlocked PDF to images.
Is there a page limit?
No — all pages in your PDF are converted. Very long PDFs (100+ pages) may take a minute to process, depending on your device speed.
What resolution should I choose?
For website thumbnails or email: 96–150 DPI. For social media images: 150–200 DPI. For printing or high-quality archives: 300 DPI.
Can I convert multiple PDFs at once?
The current tool converts one PDF at a time. Each PDF can have unlimited pages, and all pages are converted in a single operation.
