PDF to JPG

How it works

This tool renders each page of your PDF directly inside your browser tab — no server, no upload, no waiting in a queue — using the same rendering engine Firefox uses to display PDFs. Pick a resolution (screen, print or high) before you drop your file, since that controls how sharp and how large each resulting JPG is; changing it later means dropping the file again.

A single-page PDF gives you one JPG to download directly; a multi-page PDF gives you one JPG per page, downloadable individually or together as a ZIP, each named after the source file with its page number. Your original file is never modified, and nothing you upload here ever leaves your device.

Screen (96 DPI) is the smallest option and enough for viewing on a monitor or sharing casually. Print (150 DPI) is a solid default for documents you plan to print at home or send somewhere that expects an image rather than a PDF. High (300 DPI) produces the sharpest, largest files, and is the right choice for scans, forms, or anything with small print or fine detail you want to preserve. Because each preset re-renders the page from its original vector content rather than scaling a fixed-size image up or down, every resolution comes out equally crisp — there's no quality lost from picking a smaller size and no blur from picking a larger one.

This is genuinely different from a screenshot of your PDF viewer: pdf.js draws the page's text, vector shapes, and embedded images at exactly the resolution you request, including PDFs whose fonts aren't embedded in the file — a common gap in exports from Word or LibreOffice that would otherwise show up as blank boxes instead of text.

Limitations

Password-protected PDFs aren't supported yet — you'll get a clear message naming the file if one is detected. Extremely large pages (posters, architectural drawings) at the highest resolution can exceed the pixel limit your browser can safely render in memory; if that happens, try a lower DPI preset for that page. There's no limit on the number of pages per PDF beyond what your browser can comfortably hold in memory while rendering.

Choosing the right DPI: 96 vs 150 vs 300

DPI (dots per inch) controls how many pixels the renderer produces per inch of the original page, so higher DPI means a physically larger, more detailed image — not better quality on the same content, just more resolution to zoom into. 96 DPI (Screen) matches a typical monitor's pixel density, so it's the right choice when the JPG is only ever going to be viewed on a screen: attaching a page to a chat message, embedding it in a slide, or a quick visual reference. 150 DPI (Print) is the standard for anything you'll actually print at home or send to someone who expects a printable image rather than a PDF — it holds up on paper without producing an unnecessarily large file. 300 DPI (High) is the professional-print and archival standard, and the one to reach for when the page has small text, fine line work, or a form you need to read clearly when zoomed in — scanned documents and detailed diagrams in particular benefit from the extra resolution.

If you're not sure, 150 DPI is a safe middle ground for most everyday uses. Only go to 300 DPI when you specifically need to preserve fine detail, since the resulting files are meaningfully larger for the same page.

FAQ

Is this PDF to JPG converter really free?

Yes — completely free, with no page count or file size limits, and no account required. Everything runs in your browser, so there's no server cost to recoup.

What DPI should I choose?

Screen (96 DPI) is smallest and fine for viewing on a monitor. Print (150 DPI) is a good default for documents you plan to print. High (300 DPI) gives the sharpest result but produces the largest files — best for scans or pages with fine detail.

What happens with multi-page PDFs?

Every page is converted to its own JPG image. If a PDF has more than one page, you can download each page individually or grab all of them at once as a ZIP.

Why is some text missing or blank in my converted images?

This is rare and usually means the PDF references a font that isn't embedded in the file and isn't one of the standard fonts we bundle — some PDF generators do this. If you run into it, let us know which PDF caused it.
