PDF to JPG

The scale multiplier controls how large and sharp the output images are relative to the PDF’s native size. 1× gives screen-resolution images (72 DPI equivalent) — fine for web use. 2× is the recommended default, giving high-clarity images suitable for most purposes. 3× or 4× gives print-quality output but produces very large files and takes longer to process.

Choose JPG for most uses — smaller file sizes, universally compatible. Perfect for sharing, presentations, and web use.

Choose PNG if the PDF contains text, diagrams, or graphics where sharpness and lossless quality are critical, or if you need to preserve any transparent areas. PNG files are larger but pixel-perfect.

Processing time depends on: the number of pages, the resolution scale you selected, and the complexity of the PDF content (vector graphics and fonts take longer than simple text). Large PDFs at 3× or 4× scale can take a minute or more on slower devices. Since everything runs in your browser, performance is limited by your device’s CPU. Try a lower scale setting if speed is a priority.

No — your PDF is processed entirely in your browser using Mozilla’s open-source PDF.js library (the same engine used by Firefox). The file is read locally, each page is rendered to a canvas element, and then exported as an image — all on your device. Nothing is transmitted to our servers.

Password-protected PDFs cannot be converted without the correct password. PDF.js will prompt for the password when you try to open the file. If the PDF is encrypted with owner restrictions (printing, copying) but not a user password, it may still open and convert correctly since PDF.js reads the content directly.
