How to Convert PDF Pages into JPG or PNG Images
Converting a page to JPG or PNG creates a pixel image that can be placed in a presentation, message, or another document. It is useful when you need an image of a page, but it does not preserve editable PDF text.
Follow these straightforward steps to convert your document:
- Step 1: Select your PDF — Drag and drop your file into the upload zone or click to browse. Files up to 100 MB are supported.
- Step 2: Choose format and target DPI — Select JPG or PNG, then choose a 72, 150, or 300 DPI render target. The target controls raster dimensions before the 4,096-pixel-per-side cap; it is not a guarantee of print quality or of exact physical print size.
- Step 3: Select pages — Convert all pages if the document has 100 or fewer, or enter the first and last page in the From and To fields. Both endpoints count toward the 100-page batch limit.
- Step 4: Convert and download — Click "Convert" to process pages sequentially, then download each JPG or PNG image you need.
Choosing Between JPG and PNG
When to Choose JPG / JPEG
JPG uses lossy compression and a white canvas background. Its quality control changes the encoder input; it does not mean the selected percentage of the original PDF quality is retained. File size depends on page content, pixel dimensions, and the setting.
When to Choose PNG
PNG uses lossless compression for the rendered pixel grid. It does not retain selectable text, vectors, or fonts, and the output still depends on the source page and chosen render scale.
Resolution and Target DPI Settings
PDF page dimensions use points, with 72 points per inch. The tool sets the PDF.js viewport scale to target DPI ÷ 72 and rounds the resulting pixel dimensions. Page rotation and the visible page box affect the result. The following examples are for unrotated standard page sizes before the 4,096-pixel side cap:
| Setting | Scale Factor | US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) | ISO A4 (210 × 297 mm) | What the preset changes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 72 DPI | 1.0× (1:1) | 612 × 792 px | 595 × 842 px | 1 output pixel per PDF point before the cap |
| 150 DPI | ≈ 2.08× | 1,275 × 1,650 px | 1,240 × 1,754 px | About 2.08 times the 72 DPI scale per side |
| 300 DPI | ≈ 4.17× | 2,550 × 3,300 px | 2,480 × 3,508 px | About 4.17 times the 72 DPI scale per side |
Output dimension cap: Each side is limited to 4,096 pixels. If a page would exceed that size at the selected target, the render is scaled down proportionately. This cap limits canvas dimensions; it cannot guarantee that every file or batch will fit the device's available memory.
Selecting Page Ranges
You do not need to convert an entire document if you only need a section. Choose "Custom Page Range" and enter its first page in From and its last page in To. The interval includes both pages:
- From 1, To 1 — Converts only the first page.
- From 1, To 5 — Converts pages 1 through 5.
From must be less than or equal to To. Values must be whole page numbers within the document, and each batch can contain no more than 100 pages.
Browser-Local Privacy
Privacy and Data Security
PDF parsing and image creation run in your browser; the selected PDF is not sent to a FivoTools processing server. Normal page and asset requests still reach our host, and consented analytics may record allowlisted tool events.
This browser may save the source PDF in local IndexedDB for refresh recovery for up to 7 days. Use Reset to remove this tool-session copy. Converted images stay in the current page session until downloaded; they are not restored after a refresh.
Important Limitations
- Raster output only: Converting a PDF page to JPG or PNG produces a raster image made of pixels. The resulting files no longer contain selectable vector text or editable fonts.
- No searchable output: Image files contain pixels, not the source PDF's selectable text layer, vector objects, or fonts. Use the original PDF when those features are needed.
- Encrypted PDFs: Password-protected or encrypted documents must be unlocked before conversion.
- Memory use: Higher target DPI and more pages require more browser memory. Convert smaller ranges or choose a lower target if the browser cannot finish the job.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between JPG and PNG for PDF conversion?
Both formats are raster images. JPG uses lossy compression, has a quality setting, and uses a white canvas background. PNG encodes the rendered pixels with lossless compression. File size and appearance depend on the page and settings; neither format keeps PDF text editable.
Can I convert only specific pages from a document?
Yes. Select "Custom Page Range" and enter the first page in From and the last page in To. Both endpoints are included, and each batch can contain up to 100 pages.
Why does 300 DPI produce larger files than 72 DPI?
The target DPI sets the PDF.js render scale: page dimensions in points are multiplied by target DPI divided by 72. Before the 4,096-pixel side limit, a US Letter page at 72 DPI is about 612 × 792 pixels and at 300 DPI is about 2,550 × 3,300 pixels. The larger raster contains over 16 times as many pixels, but the output cap can reduce the actual dimensions.
Are my files uploaded to a remote server during conversion?
PDF parsing and image rendering run in your browser; the selected PDF is not sent to a FivoTools processing server. This browser may keep a local IndexedDB copy of the source PDF for refresh recovery for up to 7 days. Reset removes this tool-session copy. Rendered images stay in the current page session until you download them.
Can I convert PDF documents with more than 100 pages?
Yes. Select no more than 100 pages per conversion, using a custom range for larger documents. The 100-page batch limit does not guarantee every batch will fit available memory, especially at higher render scales.
