Pick the resolution you need
DPI — dots per inch — decides how many pixels each inch of the page becomes. A higher DPI gives sharper text and finer detail, and a bigger file. These are the image sizes you get for the two most common page sizes:
| DPI | US Letter page | A4 page | Use it for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 72 | 612 × 792 px | 595 × 842 px | Quick previews, thumbnails, chat messages |
| 150 | 1275 × 1650 px | 1240 × 1754 px | Sharing, slides, reading on any screen |
| 300 | 2550 × 3300 px | 2480 × 3508 px | Printing, text recognition, zooming into small print |
Before anything is converted, the tool shows the exact pixel size of page 1 at the resolution you picked, so you know what you will get. If a form asks for a page image under a certain file size, start at 150 DPI and switch to smaller JPG files before dropping the resolution — text holds up better that way.
JPG or PNG?
JPG makes much smaller files and is the right choice for pages that are mostly photographs, or when an upload form only accepts JPG. PNG is lossless: text and line drawings stay perfectly crisp, with none of the faint smudging JPG compression leaves around letters. That matters for contracts, spreadsheets, diagrams and anything you plan to run through text recognition. The trade-off is file size — a text page saved as PNG is usually noticeably larger than the same page as a high-quality JPG.
Password-protected PDFs work
Bank statements, payslips and tax documents often arrive locked with a password. If you know it, enter it when the tool asks and the pages convert as normal. The password is only used inside this browser tab to open the file — it is not saved, not sent anywhere, and forgotten as soon as you close the page. The document itself never leaves your device either, which is exactly what you want for files locked for a reason.
Convert only the pages you need
Leave Pages empty to convert the whole document, or type page numbers
and ranges such as 1-3, 7 to pick out the ones that matter. Each image is
named after its page with leading zeros — statement-page-03.jpg
— so the files stay in order in any folder, and Download all as
ZIP collects them in one go. Converted images can go straight on to the image
compressor or resizer with the buttons under the results.
What ends up in the image
Every page is drawn the way a PDF reader shows it: embedded fonts, vector graphics, highlights, stamps and filled-in form fields are all included. Transparent areas turn white, like paper. This tool converts whole pages; if you only want the photographs stored inside a PDF at their original resolution, that is a different job from converting pages.
Browsers can only draw images up to a certain size — about 16 megapixels on iPhones. Unusually large pages, such as posters or engineering drawings at 300 DPI, are scaled down to fit and marked "reduced" in the results.
Nothing is uploaded
Most PDF to JPG converters upload your document to a server, convert it there and delete it later. Here the pages are rendered by PDF.js — the open-source PDF engine built into Firefox — running inside your browser tab. There is no upload, no account, no watermark and no page limit, and you can check it yourself by disconnecting from the internet after the page has loaded.
