Why Convert PDF to Image?
- Social media: platforms don't accept PDF — images required for posting
- Presentations: embed PDF content in PowerPoint or Google Slides
- Website thumbnails: preview images for PDF documents that visitors can download
- Editing: extract diagrams or charts from PDFs for use in other projects
- Email: some recipients have PDF viewing issues — JPEG is universally openable
- Archiving: convert historical records to image format for easier access
Choosing the Right DPI
| DPI | Use Case | Quality | A4 Output Size |
|---|
| 72 DPI | Screen viewing | Small files, fine on screen | A4 = 595×842px |
| 150 DPI | General purpose | Web sharing, presentations | A4 = 1240×1754px |
| 300 DPI | Print quality | Professional printing, editing | A4 = 2480×3508px |
150 DPI is the recommended default for most use cases — good quality with manageable file sizes.
PNG vs JPEG for PDF Conversion
Use PNG for: text-heavy PDFs, documents with diagrams or charts, anything where sharpness of text and lines matters. PNG's lossless encoding preserves crisp edges.
Use JPEG for: PDFs containing photographs or complex imagery, when smaller file size is needed for sharing or web use.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a PDF to JPG online?▼
Upload your PDF to the PDF to Image tool, select JPEG format, choose DPI (150 is good for most uses), click Render Page to preview, then Download This Page. For all pages at once, click Download All Pages.
What DPI should I use for PDF to image conversion?▼
72 DPI for screen viewing only (smallest files). 150 DPI for general web use and sharing (recommended default). 300 DPI for print-quality output or when extracting content for further editing.
Can I convert all PDF pages to images at once?▼
Yes — click Download All Pages. Each page downloads as a separate numbered image file. Allow time for all downloads to complete before closing the tab.
Why is the PDF text blurry in the converted image?▼
Increase the DPI setting. At 72 DPI, small font text may appear soft. Try 150 or 300 DPI for crisp text rendering. Higher DPI produces clearer text but larger file sizes.
Does the tool preserve PDF quality during conversion?▼
Quality depends on DPI and source content. Vector text and graphics render crisply at any DPI. Photos within the PDF are limited by their original embedded resolution. 300 DPI captures the maximum available detail from any PDF.
