PDF to JPG

PDF to JPG saves pages of a PDF as images: JPG for a small file, PNG for an exact one, at 72 to 300 dots per inch. Save every page or only the ones you select; one page comes as one image, several come in a ZIP, named so they sort in page order. The images show the pages exactly as the PDF you would download shows them — turned, cropped, numbered, and with any text, signature or watermark you added — because they are drawn from that PDF after it has been made and checked.

1. Choose a PDF, or drop it on the page.
2. Select pages if you want only some; with none selected, every page is saved.
3. In Convert, choose JPG or PNG and the resolution: 150 dpi suits screens and most uses, 300 dpi printing.
4. Press Save. The pages are drawn one after another, with progress shown, and offered as one image or a ZIP.

• A page is drawn at most about 16.7 megapixels, the largest picture every browser can hold — an A4 page at 300 dpi fits, a poster-sized page is drawn at a lower resolution, and the result says how many pages were.
• Drawing is done by pdf.js, the engine Firefox uses to show PDFs. Rare files with unusual fonts or effects may look slightly different from Adobe Reader.
• Saving hundreds of pages at 300 dpi takes time and space: a 300 dpi PNG of an A4 page is often 5 to 10 MB. JPG at 150 dpi is usually a few hundred kilobytes.
• A password-protected PDF asks for its password when added. Files up to 300 MB each.
• Your files are read and written in this browser tab. They are not uploaded to ToolsDev or anyone else, and nothing is saved: closing the tab ends the session, so download what you want to keep (the page asks before you leave with work not downloaded). The page downloads its own code, and pdf.js's fonts and image decoders when a page needs them, from toolsdev.in — none of those requests carries your files.

JPG for photos, scans and sharing: much smaller, with tiny losses you rarely see. PNG for pages of text and drawings that must stay sharp at every edge, or that you will edit.

72 or 100 dpi for a quick preview or a message, 150 dpi for screens and most documents, 200 to 300 dpi for printing or reading small print.

Yes. Click the page to select it, then save; you get one image, not a ZIP.

Yes. They are drawn from the PDF the workspace makes from your pages, so rotation, crop, page numbers, watermark and anything you added are all in them.

Yes, with JPG to PDF. Note that a page made from a picture no longer has selectable text.
