Why convert a PDF page to JPG
Many places take pictures but not PDFs: chat apps that show an image inline, social posts, slide decks, website forms that ask for a JPG of a certificate or an ID page, and photo frames. A JPG of the page shows up instantly everywhere and is small enough to attach.
How big the JPG files are
Measured at 150 dpi: a scanned page comes out around 200 KB, a page with a heading and a few lines around 10 KB, and a page packed with small text around 600 KB, because JPG saves little on sharp black lettering. 300 dpi files are two to three times larger. If a form wants the image under a size limit, convert at 150 dpi and run the JPG through Compress Image.
- 72 dpi: previews and thumbnails
- 150 dpi: 1240 × 1754 pixels for A4, good on screens
- 300 dpi: 2480 × 3508 pixels for A4, print quality
One page or all of them
Every page is converted, in order, and named page-001.jpg, page-002.jpg and so on. To convert only the first page, or a chapter, save those pages into a smaller PDF with Extract Pages, then convert that.
JPG of the page or the photos inside it
This draws the whole page, text and all, as one picture. If you want the photographs embedded in the PDF at their original size and quality, use Extract Images instead: it copies them out without re-rendering.
Private by design
Converters that upload your PDF keep a copy on a server for a while. Here the PDF is opened and drawn by pdf.js in your own browser and the JPG files are created on your device, so statements, contracts and ID scans stay with you.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a PDF to JPG for free?
Open PaperKit PDF to Images with JPG selected, drop the PDF and click Convert PDF to Images. Each page is saved as a JPG, several pages in one ZIP. There is no upload, account or watermark.
Can I convert a multi-page PDF to JPG?
Yes. Every page becomes its own JPG, named page-001.jpg onwards, and they download together as one ZIP file.
How do I get a high-quality JPG from a PDF?
Choose 300 dpi. An A4 page then comes out at 2480 × 3508 pixels, enough to print it at full size.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in current mobile browsers. Very long documents at 300 dpi take a while on a phone, so use 150 dpi there.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The pages are drawn inside your browser tab and the images never leave your device.
