PDF to JPG

Images go where PDFs cannot. A page pasted into a chat, dropped into a slide, posted to Instagram or attached where only pictures are accepted has to be an image, and this turns each page into one.

Resolution is the decision that matters, so it is the first thing on screen. Ninety-six dpi is right for anything that will only ever be looked at on a screen. A hundred and fifty is the sensible middle — sharp when zoomed, fine to print. Three hundred is full print quality and produces files several times larger; choose it when the image is actually going to paper.

You can convert the whole document or just some pages. On a long report, converting one page you need rather than all ninety is both faster and less to tidy up afterwards.

Bear in mind what the conversion costs. An image of a page has no text in it — nothing can be selected, searched, copied or read aloud by a screen reader, and the file is usually much larger than the PDF page it came from. If the recipient needs to work with the content, send the PDF.

Pages are drawn by your browser, using a renderer that runs on your device with its own worker file served from this site. Nothing is uploaded and no third party sees the document.
