PDF to JPG Optimization FAQ
How do I convert PDF pages to JPG images?
+
Upload the PDF file and the converter renders each page as a separate JPG file. By default each page becomes its own image; the result is bundled as a ZIP archive ready to download.
What DPI does the JPG render at?
+
Default 150 DPI (good for screen viewing and most print). Advanced options expose 72 (web thumbnail), 150 (default), 300 (print), 600 (archival). Higher DPI = sharper images but larger JPG files.
Can I extract just specific pages of PDF as JPG?
+
Yes — the page-range option accepts inputs like `1-5`, `1,3,5`, or `all` to pick which pages of the PDF get rendered to JPG. Useful when only a chapter or appendix of a long PDF is needed.
Will the JPG preserve PDF text searchability?
+
No — rasterizing PDF to JPG turns text into pixels. If you need searchable output, keep the PDF as a PDF and use a text-extraction tool instead. Image output (JPG) is for visual display or further image processing.
What about transparent backgrounds in the JPG?
+
PNG and WebP JPG preserve a transparent page background if the source page has no fill (rare). JPG JPG cannot store transparency — pages render onto a white background. For transparency, target PNG, WebP, or TIFF.
How long does PDF to JPG take for a 100-page document?
+
About 30-90 seconds for a 100-page PDF -> JPG at 150 DPI. Higher DPI doubles or triples the time. Pro users get more parallel workers — 100 pages typically renders in under 30 seconds for them.
What is the file size of a typical JPG page?
+
A 150-DPI JPG of an A4 page is 200-800 KB (PNG), 60-200 KB (WebP), or 50-150 KB (JPG quality 85). Multiply by page count to size the ZIP — a 100-page PDF to PNG bundle is typically 30-80 MB.
Can I merge all PDF pages into one tall JPG image?
+
Not in the basic flow — each page becomes its own JPG. To produce a single stitched image, download the ZIP, then use /image-merge/ to vertically concatenate the per-page JPG files.
Is my PDF private during JPG conversion?
+
Yes — same privacy model: isolated workers, automatic deletion within minutes, no human review.
Will images embedded in the PDF appear correctly in the JPG?
+
Yes — embedded JPGs, PNGs, WebPs, and inline graphics inside the PDF are rendered into the JPG at the page DPI. The page renderer treats them like every other page element.
Can I convert just the first page of a PDF as a JPG thumbnail?
+
Yes — set the page-range option to `1` and the converter produces a single JPG file (not a ZIP). Useful for generating cover thumbnails for a PDF library.
Why does my JPG look pixelated when zoomed in?
+
You are rasterizing vector content into pixels — zoom amplifies the rasterization. If you need infinite-zoom output, target SVG when the PDF contains vectors; for sharper rasters, bump DPI to 300 or 600 in advanced options.
