FAQ

Common questions

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Every conversion in this tool runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas and File APIs. Your images never leave your device, which makes the tool faster, private by default, and safe for confidential or personal photos.

Is there a file size or count limit?

There is no hard limit imposed by us — the tool is bound only by your device's memory. Most modern phones and laptops comfortably process dozens of high-resolution photos at once.

Will I lose quality?

JPG is a lossy format, but at the default 92% quality setting most people cannot tell the difference from the original. Increase the quality slider to 100% for near-lossless output, or lower it for smaller files.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. The interface is mobile-first, supports the camera and clipboard, and produces standard files that save directly to your device's downloads or photo library.

The full guide

Everything worth knowing about the PDF to JPG

PDFs are engineered for print-perfect documents, but they're a poor fit whenever the destination is a slide deck, a social post, a form uploader that only accepts images, or an insurance claim asking for a photo of a receipt. Converting each page of a PDF to a standalone JPG is the fastest way to turn a document into something the rest of the world can consume.

This tool renders every page of a PDF as a high-resolution JPG in your browser, using the same PDF engine (pdf.js) that Firefox uses to display PDFs natively. The document is decoded locally and each page becomes its own file — so a 12-page PDF gives you 12 numbered JPGs, downloaded individually or as a ZIP.

How the rendering works

PDFs are vector documents — text is stored as glyphs, illustrations as paths. Turning them into raster images means picking a resolution. The tool uses 2× device-pixel-ratio by default, which produces a JPG that looks crisp on retina displays and prints reasonably at up to A4. If you need a specific pixel width — say, matching your slide deck at 1920×1080 — use the Resize tool afterwards.

Text quality typically survives the conversion well, because the render happens at high resolution before compression. Fine tabular data (dense financial statements, tiny footnotes) benefits from bumping the quality slider to 0.95.

Encrypted and password-protected PDFs

If your PDF requires a password to open, this tool can't decode it — pdf.js needs the password to unlock the content streams, and we don't prompt for one in this UI. Remove the password in your PDF viewer of choice (or a decryption tool), save an unprotected copy, and drop that here.

Encrypted-but-viewable PDFs (owner-locked, with printing restrictions) usually still convert, because the raster render doesn't require print permission.

Common use cases

Turning a receipt into an image for an expense app that only takes JPG. Extracting a single figure from a long report to paste into a presentation. Converting a scanned form into an image so you can annotate it in Photos. Building a series of images from a slide-deck PDF for social media. Preparing training data for an image model.

Multi-page vs single-image outputs

By default each page becomes its own JPG so you can select the ones you need. If you want the pages stitched vertically into a single tall image, convert individually and use the Resize tool to line them up, or ping us — a 'stitched export' option is on the roadmap.

Quick tips
  • Long PDFs? Convert on a laptop rather than a phone — the render is CPU-heavy and phones will lag on 100+ page files.
  • Need transparent background pages? Use the PNG converter first; JPG has no alpha channel.
  • For scanned PDFs, the output quality is capped by the original scan — no encoder can sharpen a blurry scan.
