How to use the PDF to JPG converter
- Press Choose PDF, or drop a PDF file onto the box.
- Wait a moment while each page is drawn and saved as a JPG. Progress is shown page by page.
- Check the previews to make sure every page looks right.
- Press Download under each page you need. Files are named after your PDF, for example report-page-1.jpg.
How the PDF to JPG converter works
The converter uses pdf.js, the open-source PDF engine from Mozilla that also powers the PDF viewer in Firefox. It reads your file inside the browser, draws each page onto a canvas at twice its normal size, and saves the canvas as a JPG at quality 0.92.
Rendering at double size gives crisp text and lines that stay readable when you zoom in or print. Because all of this happens on your device, contracts, bank statements and ID documents never touch a server.
The logic
For each page, the tool reads its size in points (72 points make an inch), multiplies it by 2 to get the image size in pixels, fills the canvas with white, draws the page and exports a JPG at quality 0.92.
Very large pages are scaled down slightly so the image stays under about 16 million pixels, the most that many phones can hold in one canvas.
Example
An A4 page is 595 by 842 points. At scale 2 it becomes a JPG of 1,190 by 1,684 pixels, which prints sharply at about 144 dots per inch on A4 paper. A typical page of text comes out at somewhere around 150 to 400 KB.
A 12-page PDF gives you 12 separate JPG files, from page-1 to page-12, and you can download each one on its own.
Tips and common mistakes
Only download the pages you need
Every page is converted, but you only have to save the ones you want. To send just a few pages as a PDF again, rebuild a smaller PDF with our JPG to PDF tool.
Merge first if pages are in several files
If the pages you need are spread over different documents, merge the PDFs into one file first and convert it once.
Shrink the images for email
Page images can be large. Compress the JPGs if you need to attach several of them to one message.
Remove a password first
Password-protected PDFs can't be opened here. Open the file in your PDF reader, enter the password and save an unprotected copy, then convert that.
Zoom in before you share
Small print such as footnotes can soften in a JPG. Check the preview at full size; if text looks blurry, crop the image rather than shrinking it.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The PDF is opened and converted in your browser. It never leaves your device, and there is no watermark or signup.
What resolution are the JPG images?
Each page is rendered at twice its normal size, about 144 pixels per inch. An A4 page becomes roughly 1,190 by 1,684 pixels.
Can I convert a password-protected PDF?
No. A protected file can't be read without its password. Save an unprotected copy in your PDF reader first and convert that.
Will the text in the JPG be searchable?
No. A JPG is a picture of the page, so its text can't be selected or searched. Keep the original PDF if you need that.
Is there a page limit?
There is no fixed limit. Long documents take longer and use more memory, so on older phones convert files of up to about 50 pages at a time.
