How to use PDF to JPG

  1. 1

    Add your PDF

    Drop a PDF. Every page appears as a thumbnail.

  2. 2

    Choose format and quality

    Pick JPG or PNG, then a size: 72, 150 or 300 DPI. Untick pages you don't need.

  3. 3

    Convert and download

    Get one image, or a ZIP with an image for every page.

Convert PDF to image without uploading it

Most converters make you upload your PDF, wait, then download the result. PataPage draws each page in your browser and saves it as an image on your own device. Statements, contracts and scans are never sent anywhere, and there is no account, no watermark and no limit.

PDF to JPG or PDF to PNG: which should you pick?

Choose JPG for photos and general use. The files are small and open everywhere, which makes them ideal for email and messaging. Choose PNG when the page has sharp text, line art or charts, or when you need the cleanest result. PNG files are larger, but nothing is lost.

The quality setting controls the resolution. 72 DPI is fine for a quick look on screen. 150 DPI suits most sharing and is the default. 300 DPI is print quality and makes much larger images.

How to turn PDF pages into images

Drop your PDF, then check the thumbnails. Every page is selected to begin with, and you can untick any you do not want. Press Convert. A one-page selection gives you a single image. Anything more arrives as one ZIP, with files named in page order, such as report-page-01.jpg.

Need only a few pages? Select them first. Need a PDF page as an image for a slide or a social post? Pick one page and you get the image straight away.

Good to know

Browsers limit how large an image can be, especially on phones. If a page is very large at 300 DPI, PataPage scales it down just enough to fit and tells you so. Converting turns text into pixels, so it can no longer be selected. If you want the words, use PDF to Text instead. To go the other way and turn pictures into a document, try JPG to PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert PDF to JPG without uploading?

Yes. Pages are drawn in your browser and saved on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.

How do I convert a PDF to PNG?

Drop your PDF, choose PNG and press Convert.

Can I convert just one page?

Yes. Untick the pages you don't want. With one page left, you get the image directly instead of a ZIP.

What resolution should I choose?

Use 150 DPI for most things, 72 for quick previews and 300 for print.

Why are some pages scaled down?

Browsers cap the size of an image. PataPage shrinks very large pages just enough to fit, and tells you when it does.

Is there a page limit?

No fixed limit. Long documents just take longer, and the limit is your device's memory.
