PDF to JPG
Drop a PDF here or click to choose
Convert Pages to JPG draws every page of one PDF at scale 2 and downloads a separate JPEG named page-1.jpg, page-2.jpg, and so on. The words become part of the picture, so they are no longer selectable.
How to use
- Drop one PDF on Drop a PDF here or click to choose, or click that area and pick a single file. The status line shows the file name and the page count after the file is read.
- Click Convert Pages to JPG. The button stays hidden until the PDF has loaded.
- Each page downloads on its own as page-1.jpg, page-2.jpg, and onward, at quality 0.92. They are not packed into a zip. A small preview of each JPEG appears under the button.
When it helps
Use this when a form wants a JPG of a page, or when you need a picture of a slide. Scale 2 is fixed, so the JPEG is twice the layout size of the page, and there is no scale slider. If you need PDF files instead of pictures, Split PDF can extract a page range or save every page as its own PDF, and real text in that PDF stays selectable.
The other direction is JPG to PDF, which stacks images into one PDF. This page does the reverse: one PDF becomes many JPGs, one file per page.
Limits
The PDF is handled in the page and is not stored by the site. The first open loads PDF.js from a CDN, so that first open needs a network. If the library does not arrive, the status line says PDF.js failed to load. Refresh and try the file again.
You cannot highlight a sentence in the JPG. A scanned page stays a picture of a scan. It is not turned into editable text. A long file starts one download per page, and the browser may ask before it saves every file. There is no zip and no from-page or to-page field here.
Questions
Why do I get many files?
Each page is its own JPEG. Page 3 of a five-page file is page-3.jpg. Nothing is combined into one archive.
Can I select the text in the JPG?
No. The page was drawn onto a canvas at scale 2. A scanned page remains a picture of that scan, not a text layer you can copy.
What if Convert Pages to JPG never appears?
Read the status line. It reports a failed PDF.js load or a file that is not a readable PDF. The library comes from a CDN, so the first open needs a network. Only one PDF is accepted.
