Good to know
The single decision that shapes your result is the quality slider. JPG is a lossy format, so every export discards some detail to shrink the file. For pages full of photographs or screenshots that trade-off is invisible around quality 80, and you get files roughly half the size of a quality-100 export. For pages that are mostly crisp black text on white, the story is different: JPG's block-based compression tends to smear the sharp edges of letterforms, which is exactly why PNG exists.
Screen resolution is the other thing worth knowing. Pages are rasterized at a fixed pixel density, so a JPG is a snapshot at one size — zoom in past 100% and you will see the pixels. If you need a page you can enlarge for print or reflow the text later, a raster image is the wrong container; keep the vector PDF, or pull the words out with PDF to Text instead.
A common surprise is a slight color shift. Many print-oriented PDFs are authored in CMYK, while browsers and JPG both live in sRGB, so the conversion re-maps colors for the screen. That is correct for anything you will view or post online, but for print-critical work you want a color-managed desktop application. If sharp text matters more than a small file, reach for PDF to PNG.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I convert PDF to JPG?
- Drop your PDF, choose a quality between 60 and 100, and press Convert. Each page is exported as a JPG you can download individually or as a ZIP.
- What's the difference between JPG and PNG for PDFs?
- JPG produces smaller files and is best for pages with photos or screenshots. PNG is lossless and is better for sharp text or line art where you can't afford any quality loss.
- How can I reduce JPG file size after converting?
- Lower the quality slider (try 70–80). Quality 80 is a good balance — files are roughly half the size of quality 100 with very little visible difference.
- Can I choose JPG quality?
- Yes. The quality slider runs from 60 to 100. The file-size estimate updates live so you can see the trade-off before you export.
- Will text stay readable after PDF to JPG?
- Yes, as long as you keep the quality at 80 or higher. Below that, anti-aliased text edges may start to show JPG compression artefacts.
- Can I convert a multi-page PDF to multiple JPGs?
- Yes. Every page becomes its own JPG, and the result is delivered as a single ZIP download for convenience.
- Why are my colors different after conversion?
- PDFs sometimes use the CMYK colour space; browsers render in sRGB. The conversion is correct for screen use, but for print-critical work use a dedicated colour-managed tool.
- Is PDF to JPG conversion free?
- Yes. There's no fee, no signup, no watermark — and no upload, since everything runs on your device.
- Is it safe to upload a PDF?
- There is no upload. Your PDF stays on your device the whole time, so even sensitive documents are safe.
- Can I convert PDF to JPG on mobile?
- Yes. The tool works in mobile Safari, Chrome and Firefox. Pick the file from your phone, convert, and save the JPGs to your photo library.
