How to convert a PDF to JPG

Sometimes you need an image, not a document — a page to drop into a slide, post online, or send in a chat. Converting a PDF to JPG renders each page as a picture.

One image per page

Each page becomes its own JPG. A five-page PDF gives five images, named in order.

Pick the resolution

Higher resolution means sharper images and bigger files. Standard is fine for screens; go high only for zoom or print.

JPG vs PNG

JPG is smaller and ideal for photos and scans; PNG is lossless and better for text and line art you will zoom into.
