How to convert PDF file to JPG
To convert PDF pages to JPG, add your PDF to the box above, choose the pages and the quality, and press Convert. Every page you pick becomes a separate JPG image, ready to post, share, print or upload. Several PDFs can be converted in one go.
Everything runs in your browser, so your PDF is not uploaded. You choose the resolution from 72 DPI for the screen to 600 DPI for print, the format (JPG, PNG or WebP) and, when a form needs it, a size limit such as 100 KB per image.

Convert and download
Press Convert. Download a single image, or all of them in one ZIP, or share them straight from your phone.
The defaults suit most uses: JPG at 150 DPI, which is sharp on any screen and small enough to send. Add the PDF, press Convert, done.
Why turn a PDF into images?
A PDF is made for reading and printing, but many places only accept pictures. Social networks, chat apps, slide decks, website editors and many upload forms want a JPG or PNG, and a picture opens instantly on any phone without a PDF viewer. A PDF to image conversion turns each page into exactly that.
Images are also easier to reuse. You can crop one page, put it in a presentation, add it to a document, post a single slide from a report, or show a page of a menu or a flyer without sending the whole file. And unlike a PDF, a picture shows the same way in every app, because fonts and layout are already fixed into the pixels.
Which settings should I use?
A page to post or share
JPG, 150 DPI, Best quality. Sharp on every phone and laptop, and small enough for chats and social networks.
A page to print
JPG or PNG at 300 DPI. Prints crisp at full page size; choose PNG when the page is mostly text or line drawings.
An upload form with a limit
JPG at 150 DPI with the matching File size, such as Under 200 KB. Add Black & white for scanned forms.
Slides, documents and design work
PNG at 300 DPI, with a transparent background if the page has no white backdrop you want to keep.
Photos that are inside the PDF
Extract images instead of converting pages. You get the original photos at their real size, with no quality lost.
A whole document as one picture
JPG at 100 to 150 DPI with Join the selected pages into one long image, so the file stays easy to open on a phone.
Convert PDF pages to JPG: all pages or only some
You can convert every page of a PDF into images at once, or only the pages you need. Tap Choose pages to see a thumbnail of every page and tick the ones to keep. Quick buttons select all, none, odd or even pages, or just the first page, and you can also type a range such as 2-5, 8, 10-end.
Each selected page becomes one image, named after the PDF and the page number, for example report-page-03.jpg, so the files stay in order when you open them. When there are several images, they come together in one ZIP; with several PDFs, each PDF gets its own folder inside the ZIP.
If you would rather have one picture of the whole document, open More options and turn on Join the selected pages into one long image. The pages are stacked one under the other, which is easy to share in a chat or post as a single image.
PDF to JPG high quality: 150, 300 and 600 DPI
For PDF to JPG high quality, the setting that matters is DPI, the number of pixels per inch of the page. 72 DPI matches a screen at normal size and gives small files. 150 DPI is sharp on phones and laptops and is the right choice for most uses. 300 DPI is print quality, the usual request for high resolution images. A PDF to JPG 600 DPI conversion captures fine print, signatures and detailed drawings, and is useful when you need to zoom in a long way. Together with PNG, it is how you turn a PDF into images without losing quality.
| DPI | Image size | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 72 DPI | 595 × 842 px | Quick previews, social posts, small files |
| 150 DPI | 1240 × 1754 px | Screens, email, websites (recommended) |
| 300 DPI | 2480 × 3508 px | Printing, high resolution, OCR |
| 600 DPI | 4960 × 7016 px | Fine print, signatures, zooming in |
The tool tells you the exact size before you convert: an A4 page at 300 DPI becomes 2480 × 3508 pixels, for example. Very large pages at very high DPI can exceed what a phone can hold in memory; in that case the tool uses the highest resolution your device can handle and says so, instead of producing a blank image as some converters do.
JPG quality is set to 92 percent by default, which looks identical to the page while keeping files reasonable. You can raise it to 100 percent in More options, or choose PNG for perfectly lossless images.
What image size do you need? Pixels and DPI explained
The right size depends on where the image is going. This table shows a sensible DPI for common uses with an A4 or Letter page.
| Where the image goes | Choose | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Instagram, LinkedIn or a website | 150 DPI | About 1240 px wide: sharp on any screen |
| Email or chat apps | 72 to 150 DPI | Small files that open quickly |
| Upload forms with a size limit | 150 DPI + Under 200 KB | Readable and within the limit |
| Printing at full size | 300 DPI | About 2480 px wide: print quality |
| Zooming into small print or signatures | 600 DPI | About 4960 px wide: every detail |
DPI only describes how many pixels each inch of the page gets; the image does not get blurrier when you open it on a screen. A 300 DPI image simply has twice as many pixels across as a 150 DPI one, which makes it four times as large on disk. Pick the lowest DPI that does the job, and you get sharp images that are quick to send.
JPG quality and file size explained
Two settings decide how large each image file is: the resolution (DPI) and the JPG quality. Resolution sets how many pixels there are; quality sets how strongly the JPG format squeezes them. At 92 percent quality, the default, the squeezing is invisible on text and photos alike. Below about 70 percent, flat areas start to show faint blocks around letters, which is why the size limits lower quality only as far as needed and then reduce pixels instead.
A text page compresses very well, so even 300 DPI images of typed documents are often only a few hundred kilobytes. Pages full of photos or colourful charts are larger. If you need many small files, 150 DPI with quality around 80 percent is a good balance, and Black & white shrinks scanned forms further still because it removes the grey noise of paper.
Extract images from a PDF at original quality
Sometimes you do not want a picture of the page, but the photos that are inside it: the product shots in a catalogue, the pictures in a report, the scans inside a document. Switch to Extract images to pull them out as separate files.
Extraction does not redraw anything. JPEG photos stored in the PDF are copied out byte for byte, so you get exactly the original photo, at its full size and with no quality loss at all. Pictures stored in other ways are saved as lossless PNG, transparency included. Each picture is saved once, even if it appears on several pages.
Text, tables and drawings are not pictures, so they are not extracted; use Page to JPG to capture those. A few rare picture types used in old fax-style scans cannot be saved by a browser; the tool tells you how many there were instead of skipping them silently.
PDF to JPEG, PNG or WebP: which format to choose
JPG is the best choice for most documents and photos: small files that open everywhere. PNG is lossless, so text edges stay perfectly crisp and colours never shift; it suits diagrams, screenshots and pages with a lot of text, and it can keep a transparent background. WebP gives the smallest files of the three at similar quality and is supported by all modern browsers and most apps.
| Format | File size | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| JPG | Small | Photos, scans, sharing and uploading |
| PNG | Larger, lossless | Text-heavy pages, diagrams, transparency |
| WebP | Smallest | Websites and apps that accept WebP |
So a PDF to PNG or PDF to WebP conversion works exactly the same way here; only the file type changes. JPEG and JPG are the same format, so a PDF to JPEG conversion is the same thing as well.
PDF to JPG under 100KB or 200 KB
Upload forms for jobs, universities, visas and government services often accept images only up to a set size, such as 100 KB or 200 KB. For a PDF to JPG under 100KB, choose Under 100 KB in File size; Under 200 KB, Under 500 KB and custom sizes work the same way, and every image is made just small enough to fit: the quality is lowered step by step first, and the image is only made smaller in pixels if it still does not fit.
This happens in your browser too. When it is done, the result confirms that every image is under the limit, or tells you honestly which ones could not be made that small while staying readable. A lower DPI or Black & white makes very small limits easier to reach.
How to save a PDF as JPG on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android
Every computer and phone can save a PDF page as an image in a basic way. Here is how, and when this page is the better choice.
Windows
Open the PDF, press Windows + Shift + S to take a screenshot of the page, and save it from the Snipping Tool. The image only has your screen's resolution, one page at a time.
Mac
Open the PDF in Preview, choose File, then Export, and pick JPEG as the format. Preview exports one page at a time and asks for the resolution each time.
iPhone and iPad
Open the PDF in the Files app and take a screenshot, or use the Shortcuts app with a Convert to image action. Screenshots are limited to the screen size.
Android
Open the PDF in your PDF viewer and take a screenshot of each page. As on other devices, the quality is limited to the screen.
Built-in tricks are fine for one quick page. To save a PDF as JPG with every page at once, print-quality resolution, a size limit or the original photos inside the file, this page does it in seconds on any device, without uploading the PDF.
Common uses
Posting on social media
Turn a flyer, poster or report page into a JPG at 150 DPI and post it on Instagram, LinkedIn, X or Facebook, which do not accept PDF files.
Slides and presentations
Use PDF to PNG to save single pages as lossless images and drop them into PowerPoint, Google Slides or Keynote at full sharpness.
Upload forms that want pictures
Many job, visa and government forms ask for a JPG of a certificate or ID. Choose the page and a limit like Under 200 KB.
Sharing in chats
Send a page of a ticket, invoice or timetable as an image in WhatsApp, Telegram or Messages, where it opens without downloading.
Websites and online shops
A PDF to image conversion in WebP gives sharp, light pictures of brochures, menus and spec sheets for your site.
Reusing the photos inside
Use Extract images to get the original product photos or pictures from a catalogue or report, without any quality loss.
Convert PDF file to JPG on iPhone and Android
You can turn a PDF into images on an iPhone or an Android phone in the browser, with no app to install. Open this page in Safari or Chrome, tap Select PDF file and pick the PDF from Files, Google Drive, WhatsApp documents or your downloads.
Choose the pages and quality, tap Convert, then save the images to your phone or tap Share to send them straight to WhatsApp, email or your photo gallery. Phones have less memory than computers, so the tool automatically keeps very large pages at a resolution your phone can handle.
Bulk convert PDF to JPG: many files at once
To bulk convert PDF to JPG, drop all your files on the box together, up to 50 at a time. Each file gets its own card where you can open a password, choose pages or remove it, and all of them are converted with the same format, DPI and size settings in one run.
When the batch is done you download one ZIP. Inside, every PDF has its own folder named after the file, and the images inside are numbered by page, so a folder of invoices or a term's worth of worksheets comes out tidy and in order. You can also save any single image from the result list, or preview them before you download.
Batch conversion runs in your browser like everything else, one page at a time, so even a large batch does not freeze the page. The progress bar shows which file and page are being worked on.
Password-protected and scanned PDFs
If the PDF has an open password, the tool asks for it and opens the file in your browser. Page to JPG then works as usual, and the password never leaves your device. Extracting pictures from a protected PDF needs it unlocked first; that one step uses our server, is labelled before it happens, and the file is deleted straight after.
Scanned PDFs are simply pictures of pages, so Page to JPG turns them into clean images at the DPI you choose, and Extract images usually gives you the original scans directly. To make the text in a scan searchable or editable, use PDF to Word instead.
Is it safe? Your PDF is not uploaded
Your PDF is not uploaded. Opening the file, drawing the pages, compressing images to a size limit, extracting pictures and building the ZIP all happen in your browser, on your own device. That matters for contracts, bank statements, medical records and ID documents.
The only exception is optional and labelled: extracting pictures from a password-protected PDF unlocks the file on our server first, over an encrypted connection, and deletes it right after. Everything else, including opening locked PDFs for page conversion, stays on your device.
How it works
When you add a PDF, it is opened by a PDF engine that runs inside the page, the same open-source engine that the Firefox browser uses to show PDFs. Each page you choose is drawn onto an invisible canvas at the resolution you picked, then saved as JPG, PNG or WebP by your browser's own image encoder.
Extract images works differently: it reads the PDF's internal structure and copies the stored pictures out directly, without drawing anything, which is why the photos come out identical to the originals. Because both paths run on your device, the speed depends on your computer or phone rather than on an internet connection, and a typical page takes well under a second.
How this converter compares
Most free converters work by uploading your PDF and sending the images back. Here is how this one compares on what matters.
| What to check | FlipMyFormat | Typical online converter |
|---|---|---|
| Your PDF uploaded to a server | No, converted in your browser* | Usually yes |
| Resolution | 72 to 600 DPI, or custom | Often fixed, or high quality paid |
| Extract the original photos | Yes, byte for byte | Rarely |
| Choose exact pages | Thumbnails, ranges, odd or even | Sometimes |
| JPG, PNG and WebP | Yes | Often JPG only |
| Size limit per image (100 KB, 200 KB) | Yes | Rarely |
| All pages in one long image | Yes | Rarely |
| Password-protected PDFs | Opened in your browser | Often refused or uploaded |
| Watermark or sign-up | No | Sometimes |
* Except one optional, labelled step: extracting pictures from a password-protected PDF.
Common problems and fixes
The images look blurry
Choose 300 DPI or higher. 72 DPI is meant for quick previews only.
The files are too big
Choose 150 DPI, a size like Under 200 KB, or WebP.
Extract images found nothing
The pages contain text or drawings rather than photos. Use Page to JPG to save them as images.
The PDF asks for a password
Type it in the box on the file's card and press Open. It is checked in your browser.
The text edges look soft
Choose PNG, or raise the JPG quality to 100 percent in More options.
My phone shows a lower DPI than I chose
Very large pages at very high DPI do not fit in a phone's memory. For PDF to JPG 600 DPI on large pages, use a computer.
The colours look different
Some print PDFs use CMYK colours. The images are converted for screens; for exact print colours, keep the PDF for printing.
A page comes out blank or white
The page may be empty, or its content may sit outside the visible area. Try the next page, or open the PDF in your viewer to check.
Tips for the best images
Pick the DPI for where the image will end up: 150 for screens and email, 300 for print. Higher is not always better, because the files grow quickly.
For photos inside a PDF, Extract images gives better quality than a page picture, because you get the original photo instead of a redrawn copy.
Convert only the pages you need. Choosing pages before converting is faster and gives you a smaller ZIP.
Keep the PDF. The images are new files, so you can always convert again at another quality. To turn images back into a PDF, use JPG to PDF; to make a PDF smaller instead, use Compress PDF.
What to do with your images next
Once your images are ready, you can use them anywhere a picture is accepted. To share them in one tidy file again, JPG to PDF puts images back together in the order you choose, and Compress PDF makes the result smaller for email.
To edit the words on a page rather than look at them, PDF to Word turns the document into an editable file, with OCR for scans. To keep only some pages as a smaller PDF instead of images, Split PDF does that in seconds. And when you need to number the pages of a long document before sharing it, Add Page Numbers does it in your browser as well.
