Format Overview & Applications

Many places accept pictures but not documents: social networks, messaging apps, online forms that ask for an image, and presentation or design tools. Saving a PDF page as a JPG lets you share a flyer, a ticket, a scanned letter or a chart from a report wherever a photo would go. The image shows the page exactly as a PDF reader draws it, but it is only a picture: the text can no longer be selected or searched, and links and form fields stop working. Keep the PDF if you still need those.

Technical Specifications & Codec Breakdown

The PDF is opened with pdf.js, the same rendering library Firefox uses for PDFs, and each page is drawn on a white canvas at 150 dpi (150 pixels per inch of page size). An A4 page becomes 1240×1754 pixels and a US Letter page 1275×1650 pixels. Each canvas is then saved as a JPEG at quality 85.

OS & Browser Compatibility

JPG files open on most phones, computers, and browsers. Many websites and apps accept image uploads, though support varies. PDF files require a PDF reader and may not preview in image-only upload forms.

Useful info

For pages that are mostly text, tables or line drawings, PDF to PNG gives sharper edges than JPG; JPG is the better choice for photos and scanned pages, where it makes much smaller files.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I get from a PDF with several pages?

A ZIP file with one JPG per page, named after the PDF with the page number (for example report-page-01.jpg). A one-page PDF gives a single JPG.

What resolution are the images?

Every page is rendered at 150 dpi. An A4 page becomes 1240×1754 pixels and a US Letter page 1275×1650 pixels; very large pages are scaled down so that their longest side is at most 8000 pixels.

Can I convert a password-protected PDF?

No. Remove the password in a PDF reader first, then convert the unlocked copy.
