Convert PDF to JPG (complete guide)
JPG is a great format when your PDF pages contain photos, gradients, or complex imagery and you want smaller files for sharing. Converting a PDF to JPG exports each page as an image (usually delivered as a ZIP). This is useful for chat apps, slide decks, or quick previews. For crisp text and line art, consider PDF to PNG instead.
When to use JPG vs PNG vs WebP
- JPG: best for photo-heavy pages; smaller size with mild quality loss.
- PNG: best for sharp text/diagrams; larger files, lossless.
- WebP: best for web delivery; often smaller than JPG with good quality.
Suggested workflow
- If the PDF is huge, reduce it first with Compress PDF.
- Convert PDF → JPG to export pages.
- Open a few output images and verify readability at 100% zoom.
- If you need a PDF again, combine images with JPG to PDF.
Tips for best quality
- If small text is important, prefer PNG or WebP.
- For sharing via email, JPG is usually the best size/quality balance.
- If pages come out rotated, fix the PDF first with Rotate PDF.
Privacy & retention
Files are stored temporarily for processing and deleted on scheduled cleanup (typically within 12 hours).
Troubleshooting
- ZIP is too big: convert only needed pages by extracting first with Extract pages.
- Text looks blurry: use PNG or WebP instead of JPG.
- Encrypted PDF: unlock first with Unlock PDF (requires password).
How it works
- Upload a PDF.
- Download JPG images (ZIP).
