How It Converts (And Why Quality Settings Matter)
The tool renders each PDF page onto an invisible HTML canvas — the same rendering engine your browser uses to display PDFs — then exports that canvas as a JPEG image. The result is a pixel-perfect snapshot of each page, exactly as it would appear on screen.
Two settings control the output: scale (how many pixels per page) and JPEG quality (how much compression). Getting these right is the difference between a crisp image and a blurry mess.
Quality and Scale Guide
| Use Case | Scale | Quality | Approx File Size (per page) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Social media post | 1.5× | 80% | 150-300 KB |
| Presentations (PowerPoint/Slides) | 2× | 85% | 300-600 KB |
| Website / blog | 1.5× | 75% | 100-250 KB |
| Print (A4 at 300 DPI) | 3× | 92% | 800 KB - 2 MB |
| Archival / maximum quality | 4× | 95% | 1.5-4 MB |
What this means for you: 2× scale at 85% quality is the sweet spot for most uses. It's sharp enough for presentations and clear enough for text. Only go higher if you're printing at large sizes or need to zoom into fine details.
JPG vs PNG vs WebP: Which Format Do You Actually Need?
JPEG is the default here, but it's not always the best choice. Here's how to decide:
JPG — Best for photos and complex pages
Great compression, small files, universal support. The lossy compression causes slight blurring on sharp text, but it's barely noticeable at 85%+ quality. Perfect for PDF pages with photos, charts, and mixed content.
PNG — Best for text-heavy or line art pages
Lossless compression keeps text razor-sharp. Files are 2-5× larger than JPG. Use when the page is mostly text, diagrams, or technical drawings where crisp edges matter. Convert your JPGs to PNG using our Image to PNG tool.
WebP — Best for web use
30-50% smaller than JPG at the same quality. Supported by all modern browsers. If the images are going on a website, WebP is the smart choice. Convert with our Image to WebP converter.
What You Lose When Converting PDF to Image
Converting PDF to JPG is a one-way trip. You're turning a structured document into a flat picture. Here's what doesn't survive:
- Selectable text — it becomes pixels. You can't copy-paste from a JPG.
- Hyperlinks — clickable links in the PDF become inert text in the image.
- Form fields — checkboxes, text inputs, and dropdowns disappear.
- Accessibility tags — screen readers can't read image-only content.
If you need to keep editable text, use PDF to Word instead. If you just need a visual snapshot for sharing or embedding, JPG is perfect.
