What does "PDF to JPG" do?
It turns every page of your PDF into a JPG image — one image per page, packaged into a ZIP file that downloads to your device. Each image is a faithful render of the original page: text, vector graphics, and embedded images all flattened together at the resolution you choose.
PDFtez gives you three quality presets:
- Low — smaller files (around 1× screen resolution). Good for previews, web thumbnails, and email-friendly archives. Typical output: 100–300 KB per page.
- Medium — recommended (around 1.5× screen resolution). Sharp on screen and on most home printers. Typical output: 300–800 KB per page.
- High — print quality (around 2× resolution). Crisp at print zoom and beyond — appropriate when you want the JPGs to be usable for prints or projection. Typical output: 800 KB – 2 MB per page.
You can also restrict the conversion to specific pages by entering page numbers in the same syntax as Split (1, 3, 5-7) — useful when you only need a few pages, not the whole document.
When to use PDF to JPG
- Posting PDF content to social media. LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook generally need images, not PDFs. Convert your slide deck or report to JPGs and post them as a multi-image carousel.
- Embedding pages in other documents. Inserting a PDF into Word or PowerPoint can be awkward; inserting JPGs of the pages is straightforward and predictable.
- Building a slideshow. Converting a PDF to JPGs lets you import the pages into Keynote, Google Slides, or a screen-saver app for a static slideshow.
- Printing from a tool that prefers images. Some specialised print services (photo books, large-format prints, custom merchandise) accept images more reliably than PDF.
- Sharing a single page when you don't have a PDF reader on the other end. Sending a JPG of page 5 to a phone-only recipient is faster than asking them to install a PDF reader.
- Archiving low-resolution previews. Use Low quality for a lightweight image-based archive of long PDFs that are kept "just in case".
How PDFtez converts PDFs to JPG (under the hood)
PDFtez's PDF to JPG tool runs entirely inside your browser. PDF.js renders each page to an HTML canvas at the resolution determined by your quality preset. The canvas is then exported as a JPEG using the browser's native canvas.toBlob('image/jpeg', quality) API. Quality is set conservatively for "Low" and generously for "High" to balance file size against visual quality.
JSZip packages the resulting JPGs into a single ZIP file, named consistently (filename-page-01.jpg, filename-page-02.jpg, etc.) so they sort correctly in any file manager. The ZIP downloads via the browser's standard download mechanism — no upload, no server, no logging.
How is PDFtez PDF to JPG different?
Most online PDF-to-JPG tools upload your PDF to a server before rendering. The output quality is usually fine but the privacy trade-off is meaningful for confidential documents. PDFtez does the rendering on your device, with no upload and no daily limit. The "specific pages" option is also more useful in practice than most tools' page selector — you can pull just pages 7 and 12 of a 200-page document without rendering everything.
Compared to "Save as JPG" features in desktop PDF apps (Preview on macOS, Foxit, Acrobat), PDFtez is the friction-free option when you don't want to install or open a separate program — useful especially on a Chromebook or shared computer.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the output a ZIP and not just one image?
Because most PDFs have multiple pages, and each page becomes a separate JPG. Bundling them in a ZIP means one download instead of many, and the files arrive named in page order so they sort correctly. If you have a single-page PDF, the ZIP still contains a single JPG — feel free to extract it.
Can I get PNG output instead of JPG?
Not currently — JPG only. JPG is the right choice for almost every PDF page because it compresses photographic content efficiently. PNG would produce larger files without visible benefit for text-and-graphic PDF content. PNG output is on the roadmap for users who specifically need lossless image output.
What resolution do the High-quality images come out at?
High quality renders at approximately 2× the PDF's native resolution — for a typical A4 page that's around 1600×2300 px. This is enough for sharp printing at A4 and decent quality at A3. If you need genuinely high-resolution output (300 DPI for commercial print), use desktop tools — that level of resolution exceeds typical browser memory budgets for multi-page PDFs.
Will the JPGs include selectable text?
No — JPGs are images, not documents. There is no selectable text in an image. If you need the text after converting, run Extract Text on the original PDF first, save it as a .txt file, and keep both alongside the JPGs.
Can I convert a password-protected PDF?
PDFtez will attempt to read encrypted PDFs in compatibility mode. If the file is tightly locked, remove the password first using Protect PDF (you'll need to know it), then convert.
Where do my files go? Are they uploaded?
Your files stay on your device. Rendering and ZIP packaging both run entirely in your browser. No file data is uploaded, no copy is stored, and nothing is logged. You can verify this in DevTools → Network while you convert.
