Can I convert a PDF with multiple pages?

Converting PDF pages to JPG images is common when you need to share individual pages of a document as images, embed PDF content in a web page or presentation, or extract visual content from a PDF for editing. Each page of the PDF is rendered as a separate JPG at the specified resolution.

Resolution (DPI) is the most important setting. 72–96 DPI produces sharp images for on-screen viewing at 1:1 zoom. For images that will be resized, zoomed, or printed, use 150–300 DPI. At 300 DPI, an A4 page becomes a 2480×3508 pixel JPG - Sufficient for most print scenarios. Higher DPI means better quality but significantly larger file sizes.

PDF files can contain a mix of vector graphics, raster images, and text. When rendered to JPG, vector elements and text are rasterised at the selected DPI. Text at 150 DPI or above is typically legible; at 72 DPI, small text may become blurry. If the PDF contains high-resolution embedded images, choose 300 DPI to match the original image resolution.

Reasons to convert PDF to JPG usually come down to compatibility, file-size, or specific feature requirements. Common situations:

• An app or platform only accepts JPG uploads.
• You need a feature unique to JPG (e.g. transparency, vector scaling, animation, multi-page pages, etc.) that PDF doesn't provide.
• You're optimising file size — modern formats often produce smaller files than the older format you started with.
• You need a single archival format across a project so files behave consistently in the same viewer.

1. Open the PDF → JPG tool on jpg.now.
2. Drag your PDF file onto the drop zone, or click Select files. You can drop a whole folder of files at once.
3. The output is fixed to JPG. If the format supports extra options (page size, transparency background, quality, EXIF stripping), tweak them in the right-hand panel.
4. Click Convert. The job runs on our server and finishes in a few seconds for typical photos.
5. Download the result. Files stay in storage for 24 hours and are then permanently deleted.

• Use 150 DPI for screen-use images and 300 DPI for anything that will be printed or zoomed.
• For multi-page PDFs, each page is extracted as a separate numbered JPG file.
• Choose quality 90%+ when extracting pages for further editing - You want to preserve as much detail as possible at the rasterisation stage.
• If the PDF contains mostly text, increase DPI to 200–300 for legible output.
