How to convert a PDF to JPG images

Save every page, or just the pages you choose, as JPG, PNG or TIFF images.

Published · By the Docshar team

Some websites only accept images, a slide is easier to share on WhatsApp as a picture, and a certificate may be needed as a JPG for a profile. Docshar's PDF to JPG tool turns PDF pages into image files. You choose the format, the quality and which pages to convert.

Docshar processes your file in your browser, so it is not uploaded to our servers. Files can be up to 10 MB each.

Step by step

  1. Open PDF to JPG. Go to Docshar PDF to JPG.
  2. Add your PDF. Click Choose file or drop it on the page.
  3. Choose the image format. Under Image format, pick JPG, PNG or TIFF.
  4. Choose the resolution and pages. Under Resolution, pick Screen (72 DPI), Standard (150 DPI) or Print (300 DPI). Leave Pages empty for all pages, or type pages such as 1-3, 5.
  5. Convert and download. Click Convert to images. Download images one by one, or click Download all as ZIP.

Tips

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert only one page of my PDF to JPG?

Yes. Type that page number in the Pages box, for example 2, and only that page is converted.

Why is my PNG bigger than the JPG?

PNG keeps every pixel exactly, while JPG compresses the image. For photos and scans, JPG is usually the better choice.

Can I convert a password-protected PDF?

If you know the password, remove it first with Unlock, then convert.

Can I get a single JPG of a certificate for an online form?

Yes. Enter the page number in Pages, choose JPG and Standard (150 DPI). If the image is still too large for the form, try Screen (72 DPI), which gives a much smaller file while staying readable on screen.
