JPG or PNG?
JPG files are small and fine for pages with photos. For pages that are mostly text, diagrams or line art, PDF to PNG keeps the edges perfectly crisp - at the cost of larger files.
How to convert a PDF to JPG
- Drop a PDF onto the box above or click it to choose one.
- Pick the resolution and, if you like, which pages.
- Download single pages, or all of them at once as a ZIP.
How your files stay private
Most free converters upload your file, process it on their server and send the result back - so a copy of it passes through somebody else's machine. This page does all of the work in your browser instead. The files you choose are read into memory on your own device, processed there and handed back as a download; none of their contents is transmitted. You can switch off Wi-Fi after the page has loaded and it keeps working.
