What DPI should I use?

300 if the image will be printed, 150 for reading on a screen, 72 for a thumbnail or preview. Above 300 rarely makes a visible difference unless you are printing at large size.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The file is opened and processed by your browser, on your machine. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool still works — which is the simplest way to prove it to yourself.

Can I convert only some pages?

Yes — enter a range like 1-3, 7. Leaving it empty converts every page.

Should I use JPG or PNG?

JPG for scans and photographs — far smaller with no visible loss. PNG for diagrams, screenshots and text, where lossless matters.

Does it work offline?

Once the page has loaded, yes. Nothing further is fetched, and no result is sent anywhere.

PDF to JPG

Convert pages to JPG images at a resolution you choose in DPI — the number that actually decides whether the result is usable — rather than a vague quality label.

Nothing is uploaded — the file is opened here on your device.

Your file never leaves this device. The whole operation runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded, queued on a server, or deleted later, because nothing was ever sent.

DPI, not “low / medium / high”

Resolution is the one number that decides whether the result is usable, and most converters hide it behind vague labels. 300 DPI is print quality, 150 reads well on screen, 72 is a thumbnail. A PDF point is 1/72 inch, so the scale is exact rather than approximate.

Why use it

Built to be genuinely useful

Real DPI control

72 to 600. 300 is print quality, 150 reads well on screen.

Any page range

Convert the whole document or just the pages you need.

Your file never leaves the device

The work happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, so nothing has to be trusted or deleted later.

Free, no sign-up, no watermark

No account, no page limit, and no badge stamped on the output.

How it works

Three steps

1
Drop in the PDF.
2
Set the resolution and choose which pages.
3
Convert — each page downloads as its own JPG.

Why DPI is the setting that matters

Most converters offer low, medium and high, which tells you nothing about whether the output will be sharp enough for what you need. DPI does.

A PDF point is exactly 1/72 of an inch, so the conversion is precise rather than approximate: at 300 DPI each inch of page becomes 300 pixels, which is what a printer wants. At 150 the page reads cleanly on any screen. At 72 you get something the size of the original page in pixels, fine for a thumbnail and not much else.

Higher is not automatically better — 600 DPI on a twenty-page document produces very large files for no visible benefit unless you are printing at large format.

JPG or PNG

JPG for anything photographic — scans, photographs, pages with gradients. It is lossy, but at sensible quality the loss is invisible and the files are a fraction of the size.

PNG for diagrams, charts, screenshots and anything with sharp edges or text. It is lossless, so lines stay crisp, at the cost of a considerably larger file. There is a separate PDF to PNG tool for that.

Pages are rendered onto a white background, because PDF pages are transparent where nothing is drawn and JPG cannot carry transparency — without it, blank areas would come out black.
