Quick answer
To convert a PDF to JPG, add the file, choose JPG and a resolution (150 DPI suits most uses), then press Convert to JPG. Each page becomes a separate image that you can preview and download, or save all at once as a ZIP. Conversion happens in your browser, so the PDF is never uploaded.
How to convert a PDF to JPG images
- Add a PDF.
Drag the file onto the page or press Choose a PDF. The page count appears as soon as it opens.
- Pick the format and resolution.
JPG makes smaller files, and PNG is lossless and better for pages with fine lines. 150 DPI is a good default; 300 DPI is for printing.
- Choose the pages.
Keep All pages, or switch to Choose pages and type something like
1-3, 5, 8-end. - Convert and download.
Press Convert to JPG. Download single pages from the preview grid, or press Download all (ZIP).
JPG or PNG: which format to pick
JPG is the practical default. Files are small, every device opens them, and at the default 88 percent quality both text and photos look clean. Pick PNG when a page has thin lines, small print, charts or large flat areas, or when you plan to edit the image afterwards. PNG never adds compression artefacts, but its files are usually three to five times larger. Need WebP for a website? Convert the finished images with the WebP converter.
What DPI means and which resolution to use
DPI stands for dots per inch. A PDF page has a physical size, such as A4 or US Letter, and the DPI decides how many pixels each inch of paper becomes. An A4 page saved at 150 DPI is about 1,240 × 1,754 pixels, which is plenty for reading on a screen, sending in a chat or adding to a slide.
- 72 DPI: small previews and thumbnails.
- 150 DPI: the best balance for screens, email and social media.
- 220 DPI: sharper small print, good for zooming in on a phone or tablet.
- 300 DPI: printing, or cropping a detail out of the page.
Very large pages are capped at about 16 megapixels so phones don't run out of memory.
When converting a PDF to images helps
Many websites and apps accept pictures but not PDFs: social networks, chat apps, online marketplaces, some form builders and most slide and design tools. Converting a page lets you post a flyer on Instagram, drop a chart into a presentation, send one invoice page as a picture or show a certificate on your website. If you only need part of a page, open the image in the crop tool next. To go the other way, use Images to PDF.
Accurate rendering, without the upload
KitFuse draws each page with pdf.js, the open-source PDF engine Mozilla built for Firefox. It handles embedded fonts, transparency and scanned pages, and runs entirely inside your browser, so bank statements, tickets and payslips are never sent anywhere. The images carry no metadata from the original file.

Frequently asked questions
Can I convert just one page of a PDF to JPG?
Yes. Choose Choose pages and type the page number, for example 4. You can also convert everything and download a single page from the preview grid.
Will the images be good enough to print?
Choose 300 DPI with PNG, or JPG at 95 percent quality or more. That gives print-shop resolution for A4 and Letter pages.
How are the image files named?
Each file is named after your PDF and its page number, such as report-page-03.jpg, so the pages sort in the right order in any folder.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Yes. Scanned pages are saved at the resolution you choose. Converting doesn't make the text in a scan searchable, though; that needs OCR (text recognition).
Is there a page limit?
There's no fixed limit. PDFs up to 200 MB work, and a few hundred pages convert without trouble on a computer. On a phone, long documents are easier in smaller page ranges.
Are password-protected PDFs supported?
Not yet. Remove the password in your PDF app first, then convert the unlocked copy.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Your own browser opens and renders the file, and it never leaves your device.
