PDF to JPG

Turn each page of a PDF into a JPG at the resolution you pick, as one file or a ZIP.

Files are processed on this page and are not uploaded.

The photo studio handed back the passport photo and signature as a single PDF, and the application form wants them as JPG; NEET (UG), for one, asks for the photograph as a JPG between 10KB and 200KB and will not take a PDF. Some document fields are the other way round and accept only images. Either way the fix is to render the PDF page as a picture.

This converter draws every page of the PDF as a JPG at a resolution you choose. One page gives a single JPG to download; a longer document gives a ZIP plus a preview grid in which any page can be saved on its own. Type a page list to convert only some of them. Up to 100 pages are handled in one go.

Each page of this 2-page PDF was saved as a JPG at 150 DPI: 1240 × 1754 pixels, 446 KB for the 2 pictures together.

A4 at 150 DPI is 1240 × 1754 pixels; 300 DPI doubles both sides for printing, 72 DPI is enough for a screen.

The numbers are from a real run of the tool above. The pictures are previews of the first pages of the actual files.

How to use it

  1. Drop the PDF on the box above, or tap it and choose the file.
  2. Pick the resolution: 72 DPI for a small picture, 150 DPI for a clear one, 300 DPI for printing. Leave the page list empty for every page, or type something like 1, 4-6.
  3. Press Convert. A single page downloads as a JPG; more than one is packed into a ZIP, with each page also shown below so you can save one at a time.

Which DPI to choose

DPI decides how many pixels a page gets. An A4 page is 8.27 × 11.69 inches, so at 72 DPI it becomes 595 × 842 pixels, enough to read on a screen but not to print; at 150 DPI it is 1240 × 1754 pixels, sharp at normal zoom and the default here; at 300 DPI it reaches 2480 × 3508 pixels, the size a scanner produces and the one to pick if the picture will be printed or cropped. Higher settings mean larger files and longer rendering on a phone, so choose 300 only when the extra detail will be used.

From a PDF scan to a photo or signature upload

Convert the page at 300 DPI so the photograph inside it has pixels to spare, then open the JPG in the crop-image tool and cut it down to the photo or the signature strip alone. The crop will be a small picture, often under 200KB already; if the field has a cap of 50KB or 100KB, finish with compress-image-to-50kb or compress-image-to-100kb, which find the highest quality that lands under the number. The resize-signature tool covers the usual signature dimensions if the portal names a size in centimetres or pixels.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my JPG blurry when I zoom in?
Because the page was rendered at 72 or 150 DPI and you are viewing it larger than that resolution supports. Convert again at 300 DPI; the A4 page then has 2480 × 3508 pixels and stays crisp when cropped or printed.
Can I convert only the first page?
Yes. Type 1 in the page list and only that page is rendered, which also means a one-page result: a single JPG download rather than a ZIP. The same works for any selection, such as 3 or 2-4.
Is there a page limit?
100 pages per run. A longer document can be converted in slices by typing 1-100 first and 101-200 next. Each slice arrives as its own ZIP with its own preview grid.
Can I still select or search the text in the JPG?
No. A JPG is a flat picture, so text, links and form fields become part of the image, rendered at JPG quality 90 exactly as a viewer shows the page. Keep the PDF for anything that needs its text layer, and use the JPG where a form insists on an image.
