Why convert PDF to JPG

Social networks, chat apps and many CMSs do not preview PDFs, but everything shows a JPG. Rendering the pages to images is the quickest way to share a flyer or a page of a report.

Pages are rendered with the same engine Firefox uses for PDFs, so fonts, vector graphics and transparency come out as intended. 150 dpi is sharp on screens; use 300 dpi if the image will be printed.

How it works

  1. Drop PDF file onto the box above, click it to browse, or paste from the clipboard.
  2. Adjust the options if you need to β€” the defaults suit most cases.
  3. Press Convert. The work happens on your device, so speed depends on your computer or phone.
  4. Download the JPG.

About the formats

PDF Β· Portable Document Format Β· .pdf

The fixed-layout document standard: looks the same on every device and printer, which is why forms, invoices, contracts and reports are shared as PDF.

  • A PDF can contain vector text, embedded fonts, images, form fields, annotations and digital signatures.
  • Scanned PDFs are just pictures of pages; they need OCR before the text can be searched or copied.
  • PDF is an open ISO standard (ISO 32000) since 2008.

JPG Β· JPEG image Β· .jpg

The universal photo format: small files, supported by every device, camera and website, but no transparency and slight quality loss on each save.

  • JPEG compression discards fine detail the eye rarely notices; quality 80–90 is usually indistinguishable from the original at a fraction of the size.
  • Re-saving a JPG repeatedly adds generation loss, so keep an original and export copies.
  • JPG has no alpha channel β€” transparent areas become white or black when converted from PNG.
