Need a PDF page as an image, for a slide, a social post, a website, or to edit in an image editor? Converting PDF to JPG or PNG renders each page as a picture you can use anywhere. Here's how to do it for free, with control over format and quality.
JPG or PNG, which should you pick?
| Choose JPG when… | Choose PNG when… |
|---|---|
| You want the smallest file | You need the sharpest text |
| The page is mostly photos | The page has diagrams or fine lines |
| You'll post it online quickly | You need transparency or exact detail |
How to convert a PDF to images (step by step)
- Open the PDF to Images tool and upload your PDF.
- Pick a format, JPG for small files, PNG for crisp detail.
- Set the quality/resolution. Higher means sharper images and larger files.
- Convert. Every page is previewed; a single page downloads as an image, multiple pages as a ZIP.
Resolution matters: for screen use, medium quality is plenty. For printing or zooming in, choose high quality so text stays sharp.
Common uses
- Slides & presentations, drop a PDF page straight into your deck.
- Social media, share a page as an image post.
- Websites & email, embed a page where a PDF link won't do.
- Editing, open a page in any image editor to annotate or crop.
Tips
- Going the other way? Turn images back into a PDF with the Images to PDF tool.
- Large PDF? High resolution on many pages makes a big ZIP, use medium unless you need print quality.
