Why Convert PDF to Image?

Common use cases: extracting a graph or chart from a PDF for a PowerPoint presentation, converting a scanned PDF to editable images for OCR processing, sharing a PDF page on WhatsApp or Instagram (which don't accept PDFs), attaching a PDF page to an online form that only accepts images, and creating thumbnail previews of PDF documents.

How to Convert PDF to JPG Online

1. Open Formly's PDF to JPG tool. 2. Upload your PDF by clicking or dropping it. 3. Choose image quality: Low (72 DPI for thumbnails), Medium (150 DPI for standard use), or High (300 DPI for print quality). 4. Choose output format: JPG (smaller size) or PNG (lossless, supports transparency). 5. Select pages: all pages or a specific range (e.g., "1–3, 5"). 6. Click "Convert". 7. Download images individually or all at once.

Choosing the Right DPI

72 DPI: Screen resolution — use for web thumbnails, social media previews, or quick sharing. File sizes are smallest.

150 DPI: Standard quality — good for email, presentations, and general use. Balances quality and file size.

300 DPI: Print quality — use when the image will be printed or when maximum detail is needed. File sizes are largest but quality is crisp.

JPG vs PNG Output

JPG: Smaller file size, ideal for photos and complex PDFs. Slight quality loss from compression, no transparency. PNG: Larger file size, lossless quality, supports transparency. Use PNG if the PDF page has a transparent background or when you need pixel-perfect output for OCR or further image processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert just one page of a PDF to JPG?

Yes. Enter the specific page number in the page range field (e.g., "5") to convert only that page.

Why is the output image blurry?

Select a higher DPI setting. At 72 DPI, images look fine on screen but may appear low-resolution when enlarged. Use 150 or 300 DPI for clearer output.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The tool uses PDF.js running in your browser. Your file is never sent to any server.

How do I convert all pages at once?

Select "All pages" in the page range field (leave it blank or type "all"). Each page becomes a separate image file.
