How It Works
📤
1. Upload PDF
Select any PDF — presentations, invoices, scans, or documents.
⚙️
2. Choose Quality
Pick JPG quality and resolution. Higher = sharper but larger files.
💾
3. Download JPGs
Save pages individually or download all in a single ZIP file.

📄 PDF ToolsTips
- •1.5× resolution is ideal for web sharing — crisp without large file sizes.
- •Use 3× / 216 DPI if you need to print or zoom into the images.
- •Set quality to 92% for the best balance of sharpness and file size.
- •Large PDFs (20+ pages) take longer at high resolution — be patient.
- 🔒Your PDF is processed entirely in your browser and is never uploaded.

Page rendering, the scale factor and JPEG quality
The PDF is read into memory and parsed by a JavaScript PDF engine, which exposes each page along with its viewport: the page dimensions in points, where one point is one seventy-second of an inch. For each page the tool requests a viewport at your chosen scale, creates a canvas of exactly those pixel dimensions, and asks the engine to draw the page's content into it. Text, vectors and embedded images are all re-drawn from the PDF's instructions, which is why output stays sharp rather than pixelated.
The scale factor multiplies the native 72 dots per inch. A scale of 1 gives 72 DPI, 1.5 gives 108 DPI, 2 gives 144 DPI and 3 gives 216 DPI. Pixel dimensions and file size both grow with the square of the scale, so 2x produces roughly four times the pixels of 1x.
The canvas is then exported as a JPEG at your chosen quality, a value between 0.70 and 1.00. Lower values discard more detail in the compression and produce smaller files. After each export the canvas dimensions are reset to zero to release memory, which keeps long documents from exhausting the browser.

Converting a 10-page A4 PDF at 2x
An A4 page measures 595 by 842 points in a PDF. Select 2x resolution and 92 percent quality.
Each page canvas is created at 595 times 2 equals 1,190 pixels wide by 842 times 2 equals 1,684 pixels tall, which is 144 dots per inch. The engine draws page one into that canvas, the canvas is exported as a JPEG at quality 0.92, and a thumbnail appears; the process repeats through page ten.
For a typical text-and-diagram page, output at these settings lands around 200 to 500 KB per image, so ten pages come to roughly 2 to 5 MB in total. Pressing Download All as ZIP loads a compression library on demand and packages all ten JPGs into a single archive.
Change the resolution to 1x and the same page becomes 595 by 842 pixels, about a quarter of the pixel count and a correspondingly smaller file, fine for a quick on-screen preview. Change it to 3x and you get 1,785 by 2,526 pixels at 216 DPI, which suits printing or close inspection of small type, at the cost of much larger files and slower processing.

Choosing settings, and what conversion to JPG costs you
Match the settings to the destination. For sharing on screen or in a chat, 1.5x at 82 percent is usually enough. For reading dense body text or printing, use 2x or 3x at 92 percent. Setting quality to 100 percent rarely looks visibly better than 92 and can double the file size, because JPEG's quality curve flattens near the top.
Be aware of what you lose. A JPG is a flat picture: the text is no longer selectable, searchable or copyable, hyperlinks stop working, and any form fields, annotations or bookmarks disappear. If you need those, keep the PDF. JPEG compression is also lossy, so fine hairlines and small text can pick up soft edges at low quality settings; for line art and screenshots a lossless format would be a better fit.
Practical limits: the input cap is 50 MB, and high resolutions on long documents take time and memory, since each page is rendered in turn on the main thread. Password-protected files must have the password removed first, because the renderer cannot decrypt them without it.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. The file is parsed and rendered by JavaScript inside your browser, and the JPGs are produced on your own device. Nothing is transmitted, so the tool is appropriate for confidential contracts, statements and reports. Files up to 50 MB are accepted.
The scale multiplies the PDF's native 72 dots per inch, so 1x gives 72 DPI, 1.5x gives 108, 2x gives 144 and 3x gives 216. Use 1.5x for on-screen sharing and 2x or 3x when you need to read small text or print. File size grows roughly with the square of the scale.
No. Each page becomes a flat image, so text cannot be selected, searched or copied, and hyperlinks, form fields, annotations and bookmarks are all lost. If you need those features, keep the original PDF and use the images only for display or sharing.
No. Encrypted files are detected and reported with a message asking you to remove the password first. The renderer cannot decrypt page content without it. Open the file in a PDF application, save an unprotected copy, and convert that instead.
Usually not. JPEG quality gains flatten near the top of the scale, so 100 percent can roughly double the file size for a difference most people cannot see. Ninety-two percent is the recommended setting; drop to 70 or 82 percent only when file size matters more than fine detail.
