What PDF to JPG does
PDF to JPG renders each page of a PDF as a JPG image at your chosen resolution, previewing the results before you download them.
Turning pages into images is what you do when the destination cannot read a PDF: a slide deck, a social post, a marketplace listing, a chat app, a website. An image goes anywhere and always looks the same.
Every page is rendered exactly as a PDF viewer would draw it, then encoded as a JPG. You see thumbnails of the results before committing, so you can check the resolution suits before downloading. Multi-page documents arrive bundled in a single .zip.
How to use PDF to JPG
Upload the PDF
Drop in the file you want to convert.
Choose resolution and quality
Standard suits screens and sharing; High is sharper for printing or zooming. Adjust the JPG quality slider to trade size against fidelity.
Convert
Click Convert to JPG. Each page is rendered on your device, with progress shown for longer documents.
Preview and download
Check the thumbnails, then download — a single page as a JPG, several as a .zip.
PDF to JPG: details and limits
JPG has no transparency, so pages are rendered onto a white background rather than turning black — a real failure mode in naive converters.
Standard is roughly 108 DPI and High roughly 216 DPI. Choose High if the image will be printed or zoomed into.
JPG is lossy and best for pages that are mostly photographs. For text-heavy or line-art pages, PDF to PNG will look noticeably crisper.
This renders whole pages as they appear. To pull out the original photographs embedded inside the document instead, use Extract Images.

Why you cannot select the text in a scanned PDF
A scan is a photograph of a document, not a document. Your eyes read it; your cursor finds nothing there.
