Converts to .jpg — stays on your device
Why convert PDF to JPG?
- Creating thumbnail previews of every page in a PDF for a document gallery.
- Pulling specific pages out of a contract or report as JPGs for a slide deck.
- Converting a PDF resume or portfolio to JPGs for a platform that doesn't accept PDF uploads.
- Extracting illustrations, charts, or diagrams from a PDF as standalone JPGs.
- Producing JPGs of book pages from a public-domain scanned PDF for image-based search.
- Generating preview images of a PDF for embedding on a webpage where direct PDF rendering is too heavy.
How our converter works
Your PDF is parsed by pdfjs-dist (Mozilla's PDF rendering library) running in a Web Worker. Each page is rendered to an HTML canvas at 2× scale, then exported as a JPEG at 92% quality. Single-page PDFs return one .jpg directly; multi-page PDFs return a .zip with one image per page, named `original-page-01.jpg`, `original-page-02.jpg`, etc. Conversion runs entirely in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
How do I save a PDF as a JPG?
Drop the PDF onto this page, or click Browse Files. A single-page PDF downloads as one .jpg; a multi-page PDF downloads as a .zip with one .jpg per page, named in order. No install, no signup, no upload to a server. People search this as 'how to save pdf as jpg', 'pdf to jpg', 'pdf to jpeg', 'pdf convert to jpg', 'convert pdf to jpg', and 'pdf jpg' — they're all this conversion.
How is this different from ILovePDF or Smallpdf for PDF to JPG?
ILovePDF and Smallpdf upload your PDF to their servers, run the conversion there, and send the result back. FormatFixer runs entirely in your browser — the PDF never leaves your device. For most users that's a wash, but for sensitive documents (contracts, medical records, tax filings) the privacy difference matters. There are also no daily file limits or paywalls for large files.
What resolution are the JPGs?
2× the PDF's native page size — so a Letter-sized PDF page (612×792 pt) becomes a 1224×1584 JPG. That's roughly 150 DPI, suitable for screen viewing and web embedding. For print-quality (300+ DPI), use a desktop tool that exposes the scale factor.
Why a ZIP for multi-page PDFs?
Browsers can't deliver multiple files from a single download click. Bundling everything into a ZIP is the standard workaround — every OS unpacks ZIP natively, and the JPGs inside are named in page order.
What about transparency?
JPG doesn't support transparency, so any transparent regions in the PDF (rare — most PDFs have white pages) are flattened against a white background.
Will it work on scanned PDFs?
Yes — those are essentially already images. The output is a re-encoded JPG of the scan. If the source scan is a high-resolution PNG inside the PDF, you'll get a JPG version at the rendering scale.
Are my files uploaded?
No. pdfjs-dist (rendering), canvas (rasterization), and fflate (ZIP) all run as JavaScript on this page. Sensitive PDFs — contracts, medical records, tax documents — stay on your device.
About the PDF format
PDF is the universal fixed-layout document format. JPG is the universal photographic image format. Converting PDF → JPG is what you do when a document needs to live as images: thumbnail galleries, image-only viewers, social-media previews, slide decks that import images instead of PDFs. The conversion rasterizes each page at a fixed scale (2× page size by default) and emits one image per page. Text becomes pixels, so this is a one-way trip — for editable text extraction, use PDF → TXT instead.
