What is pdf to jpg?

Converting a PDF to images means rendering each page of the document as a standalone JPG or PNG file. This is necessary in situations where PDF is not a supported format: posting document content to social media, importing pages into an image editor like Photoshop or Figma, embedding document content into a website or app that only accepts images, creating thumbnail previews of a PDF for a gallery, or sending a document to someone on a platform that blocks PDF attachments. PDFToolsNow uses PDF.js — Mozilla's open-source PDF rendering engine, the same technology behind Firefox's built-in PDF viewer — to render each page at your chosen resolution directly in the browser. No server receives your file at any point. The images are assembled into a ZIP archive so you download everything with a single click regardless of how many pages the document contains. JPG output uses lossy compression that keeps file sizes small while preserving the visual appearance of colour pages. PNG output is lossless — every pixel is reproduced exactly — making it the right choice for documents with crisp text, technical diagrams, or line art where compression artefacts would be visible.

Frequently asked questions

What resolution are the output images?

By default, images are rendered at 2× resolution (144 DPI), giving clear results for most uses. You can adjust the scale in the settings before converting.

Should I use JPG or PNG?

JPG is smaller and great for photos or colour pages. PNG is lossless and better for documents with text, sharp lines, or diagrams where compression artefacts would be noticeable.

Can I convert just one page?

Yes — after uploading, you can choose to convert only specific pages rather than the entire document.

How do I convert a PDF to JPG without software?

Open PDFToolsNow in any browser, upload your PDF, select JPG as the output format, and click Convert. All pages download as a ZIP. No software installation or account is needed.

Why are my converted images blurry?

The default resolution may be too low for your use case. Increase the resolution scale in the settings before converting to produce sharper images, especially for print or large-format display.

Can I convert a scanned PDF to JPG?

Yes. PDFToolsNow renders every page regardless of whether the PDF is text-based or a scanned image. Scanned PDFs convert to images just like any other PDF.
