Messaging apps, social media and many websites accept pictures but not PDF files. Converting a PDF page to a JPG gives you an image that can be posted or inserted anywhere.
The PDF to JPG tool draws each page on a canvas in your browser and saves it as a JPG file. You can adjust the sharpness (DPI) depending on whether the image is for the screen or for print.
How it works
A JPG is a compressed picture. When a PDF page is turned into one, text and graphics become pixels, which means they can no longer be selected or searched. JPG is ideal for photographs and everyday sharing because the files are small. For line drawings, screenshots or text that must stay perfectly crisp, PNG is a better choice.
When this is useful
- Posting a certificate, poster or flyer on social media.
- Sending a single page through a messaging app that does not accept PDF.
- Putting a page of a document on a website or blog.
- Creating a preview image of a brochure.
- Pasting a page into a presentation or design program.
Step-by-step instructions
- Open the PDF to JPG tool and choose your PDF.
- Select the sharpness setting. A higher DPI gives a larger, clearer image.
- Press convert and wait while each page is drawn.
- Download the images and check that the text is readable at the size you need.
Tips for the best results
- Use around 150 DPI for screens and 300 DPI if you plan to print.
- Convert only the pages you need to avoid a folder full of images.
- If the text looks fuzzy, increase the sharpness or use the PDF to PNG tool.
- Rename the images so you can tell the pages apart.
Common problems and how to fix them
The image is too large to send
Lower the sharpness setting, or compress the picture in your photo app.
Text looks blurry
Raise the DPI before converting. JPG compression can slightly soften small text, so PNG may be better.

Frequently asked questions
Does each page become a separate image?
Yes. A 5-page PDF produces 5 JPG files.
Will the image keep a transparent background?
No. JPG does not support transparency. Use PDF to PNG for that.
Is the PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The pages are drawn in your own browser.
