PDF to JPG

What it's for: export PDF pages as standalone image files: useful for sharing a page as a picture, or dropping it into something that doesn't accept PDFs.

How to export PDF pages as images

  1. Pick: open a PDF file.
  2. Configure: choose which pages to export, the output format (JPG or PNG), the resolution, and (for JPG) the quality.
  3. Save: each selected page is saved as its own image file.

How resolution and quality work

Each page is rendered at one of three scales, matching common screen/print resolutions:

Scale Resolution Use
1x 72 dpi Smallest files, screen-only
2x 150 dpi (default) Good balance for most uses
3x 300 dpi Print-quality, largest files

For JPG output, a quality slider (0-100, default 85) controls JPEG compression: higher keeps more detail at a larger file size. PNG is lossless, so the quality slider doesn't apply to it, but PNG files are typically larger than a JPG at the same resolution.

Why the output might look different from the PDF

Each page is rendered exactly as it appears in the PDF viewer: vector text and graphics become pixels at your chosen resolution. If text looks slightly soft at 1x/72 dpi, that's expected: bump the scale to 2x or 3x for sharper output, especially for pages you plan to zoom into or print.
