Key takeaways
- PDF to JPG exports every page of a PDF as its own JPG image.
- A JPG is a picture of the page, so its text cannot be selected or searched.
- Use Compress Image or Resize Photo afterwards if the images are too large.
- The conversion happens in your browser, so your PDF is not uploaded.
Convert a PDF to JPG
Turning a PDF page into a picture is handy when you want to share one page in a chat, add it to a slide or put it on a web page. With PDF to JPG:
- Open the tool and add your PDF.
- Start the conversion. Each page is drawn the way it looks in a PDF viewer.
- Download the JPG images and use the ones you need.
When a picture is better than a PDF
- Sharing one page in a messaging app where PDFs are awkward to open.
- Slides and documents where you want to place a page as an image.
- Websites and social posts that accept pictures but not PDFs.
If you need the words rather than the look, a picture is the wrong choice. Use PDF to Word to copy the text.
Make the images smaller
Pages saved as pictures can be big. To reduce them, lower the quality with Compress Image or set a smaller width and height with Resize Photo. If you need to go back to a single document later, Image to PDF combines JPG images into one PDF.
