How to convert PDF pages to JPG images

A step-by-step guide to convert PDF pages to JPG images, with advice on the settings and checks that matter.

Before you start

Choose JPG when compatibility and a compact image are more important than retaining selectable text.

How to do it, step by step

  1. Open the PDF and convert its pages to JPG.
  2. Download the images and check that you have every required page.
  3. Look closely at small lettering. If you see distracting compression marks, try PNG instead.

Check the saved file

Check small print for compression artifacts and confirm that all required pages were converted.

Keep PDF screenshots readable as JPG

Lossy image compression can introduce halos around letters and fine lines. Enlarging a low-resolution result will not restore detail. Keep the highest-quality result that fits your destination. Try PNG instead for pages dominated by text, tables or diagrams.
