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
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.
