Turning PDF pages into JPG or PNG images
Images are easier to share than PDFs in many places: chat apps, social posts, slide decks, websites and design tools. Converting pages to images lets you show a page preview, post a flyer, or drop a diagram into a presentation without asking anyone to open a PDF.
JPG or PNG?
JPG produces smaller files and is ideal for pages that contain photographs or scanned paper. Exports use high JPEG quality, so artefacts are rarely visible at normal viewing size.
PNG is lossless and keeps sharp edges on text, line art, charts and screenshots. Files are larger, but small text stays crisp, which matters when the image will be zoomed or printed.
Resolution and multi-page files
Pages are rendered at twice their standard screen size, which is roughly 144 DPI — sharp on high-density phone and laptop screens and suitable for presentations and the web. For large-format printing, a dedicated high-resolution export from the original design file will give better results.
A single-page PDF downloads as one image. A multi-page PDF downloads as a ZIP archive containing one image per page, named in page order.
Privacy
Rendering happens in your browser, so pages from private documents are not sent anywhere during conversion. Remember that images are easy to forward and do not support passwords; crop or redact sensitive details before sharing them.
Tips for image exports
- Use Split PDF first if you only need a few pages from a long document.
- Choose PNG for diagrams and text-heavy pages, JPG for photos.
- Rotate sideways pages before converting so the images are upright.
