How to Convert PDF Pages to JPG

🔒 Your files never leave your device. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Converting PDF pages to JPG rasterizes each page into an image. JPG is a lossy format with small file sizes, which makes it a good choice for web previews, thumbnails, and sharing pages as pictures. IXPDF renders each page in a Web Worker using your browser's canvas, so the work happens locally and your file never leaves your device.

Steps

  1. Open the PDF to JPG tool at/tools/pdf-to-jpg/.
  2. Select your PDF. Drag the file onto the dropzone or click to browse. The file name and size appear below.
  3. Choose resolution. The Resolution menu offers1x (72 DPI), 2x (144 DPI) — recommended, and3x (216 DPI). 2x is a good default for screen use; 3x is sharper but produces larger images.
  4. Set quality. The Quality slider runs from 50% to 100% and defaults to 92%. Lower quality means smaller files at the cost of visible artifacts; 92% is a safe balance for most pages.
  5. Optionally limit pages. The Page range field accepts values like 1,3,5-7. Leave it empty to render every page.
  6. Run conversion. Click Run PDF to JPG. A single page downloads directly as a JPG; multiple pages are packaged into a zip so you get one download with all the images.
JPG has no transparency
JPG does not support transparent pixels. If your page has transparency, the background is filled in the output. For screenshots or line art where transparency matters, usePDF to PNG instead.

Tips

  • Match resolution to the destination. 2x is fine for on-screen viewing and email; use 3x only when you need to print or zoom sharply.
  • Lower the quality slider for web thumbnails where small size matters more than perfection. 70–80% is usually enough for previews.
  • Use the page range to convert only the pages you need, which avoids rendering a long document you will throw away.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting selectable text. The output is an image, so text in the JPG cannot be selected, searched, or copied. If you need text, keep the PDF.
  • Resolution too low. 1x can look blurry on modern displays. If the result is fuzzy, switch to 2x.
  • Using JPG for line art or screenshots. JPG compression creates visible artifacts around sharp edges and text. PNG is lossless and better suited to that content.
