About this tool
PDF to JPG turns the pages of a PDF into ordinary image files. Images are easier to share than PDFs in a lot of places: you can post a page to social media, drop a slide into a chat, paste a page of a report into a presentation, or upload a certificate to a form that only accepts pictures.
It suits students sharing lecture notes, small businesses posting a flyer or menu, and anyone who has been asked for “a photo of the document” when all they have is the PDF. You choose which pages to convert, whether you want JPG or PNG, and how sharp the pictures should be.
Your PDF stays with you. Many converters upload the file to a server and send the images back. Here, each page is drawn by pdf.js, an open-source PDF reader that comes bundled with the site, right on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and no watermark is added to your images.
How to use PDF to JPG
- Tap “Choose a PDF” or drop one onto the box. A card shows its name, page count and size; use “Choose another” to swap it.
- Every page appears as a thumbnail, all ticked. Tap a page to untick or tick it, or use “All pages” and “Clear”.
- Pick JPG or PNG, then a sharpness: Screen, Standard, High or Print. The note underneath shows the pixel size your first page will become.
- Press “Convert to JPG” (or “Convert to PNG”) and watch the progress, page by page.
- Download your image, or a ZIP file if you converted more than one page.
ExampleA 12-page report called report.pdf at Standard sharpness becomes report-page-01.jpg to report-page-12.jpg in one ZIP, each A4 page about 1240 × 1754 pixels.
Features
- Choose exactly which pages to convert by tapping their thumbnails.
- Save as JPG (at 90% quality, for small files) or PNG (lossless, for crisp text).
- Four sharpness settings: Screen 72 dpi, Standard 150 dpi, High 220 dpi and Print 300 dpi.
- Shows the exact pixel size before you convert, so there are no surprises.
- One page downloads as a single image; several come together in one ZIP file.
- File names are numbered with padding (page-01, page-02…) so they stay in order in any folder.
- Thumbnails load as you scroll, so even long PDFs open quickly.
- Clear messages for password-protected or damaged PDFs, instead of a silent failure.
Tips and good to know
- Dpi means dots per inch: how many pixels each inch of the page becomes. Higher dpi gives sharper, larger images.
- Standard (150 dpi) is right for screens, chats and most websites. Use Print (300 dpi) only when the image will be printed.
- Very large pages, such as posters or plans, are scaled down automatically to stay under about 16 million pixels, because browsers (Safari especially) refuse bigger images.
- The images are pictures of the pages. Text in them can’t be selected, searched or edited any more.
- This tool draws whole pages. It doesn’t pull the original photos out of a PDF as separate files.
- A big PDF at 300 dpi can be slow on a phone or run out of memory. If a page fails, try a lower sharpness.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. Your browser draws each page into an image on your own device. The PDF and the images are never sent to AroraTools or anyone else.
Is it free? Are there any limits?
It is free, with no sign-up and no watermark. There is no page limit set by the tool; the real limit is your device’s memory, so very long PDFs at high sharpness work best on a computer.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Choose a PDF from Files, Google Drive or your downloads in Safari or Chrome, tap the pages you want, then convert. The page needs the internet to open, but the conversion happens on your phone.
What dpi should I choose?
For sharing on screen, Standard (150 dpi) is the best balance of sharpness and file size. Pick Screen (72 dpi) for the smallest files, High (220 dpi) for zooming in on small print, and Print (300 dpi) for printing.
Should I pick JPG or PNG?
JPG makes much smaller files and is fine for photos and most documents. PNG keeps every pixel exactly, so text and line drawings stay perfectly crisp, but the files are a lot bigger.
Can I convert a password-protected PDF?
Not yet. The tool tells you straight away if a PDF has a password. Open it in a PDF reader with the password, save a copy without protection, then convert that copy.
Why does a transparent page come out with a white background?
Pages are drawn on white, the same way a PDF reader shows them, so they look right in any app.
