How to Convert a PDF to JPG or PNG
Sometimes you need a PDF as a picture rather than a document — to post a page on social media, drop it into a slide, or preview it quickly. Converting your PDF to an image makes that easy. Here’s how to turn each page into a JPG or PNG, free and in your browser.
JPG or PNG — which should you pick?
Both work, but they’re good at different things:
- JPG makes smaller files and suits pages with photos — use PDF to JPG.
- PNG is lossless and supports transparency, so it keeps text and lines razor-sharp — use PDF to PNG.
- WEBP is a modern format with very small file sizes for the web — try PDF to WEBP if page weight matters.
How to convert a PDF to images
- Open PDF to JPG (or PDF to PNG) and click Choose File.
- Select your PDF.
- Press Convert — each page becomes its own image.
- Download the images you need.
Tips for the best image quality
- Use PNG for text and diagrams so edges stay crisp with no compression blur.
- Use JPG for photo-heavy pages to keep file sizes manageable.
- Need just one page? Convert the whole document and keep the page image you want.
Going the other way
If you have images you’d like to combine into a single PDF instead, the JPG to PDF and PNG to PDF tools do exactly that.
Frequently asked questions
Do I get one image per page? Yes — every page of the PDF is exported as its own image file.
Is it free and private? Yes. It’s free with no signup, and the conversion runs in your browser so files aren’t uploaded.
Which is better, JPG or PNG? PNG for sharp text and transparency; JPG for smaller, photo-friendly files.
