How to use the PDF2JPG tool

The “Convert entire page” option will save each page of the PDF file as a JPG.

The “Extract images only” option will extract each image from your PDF file into a standalone JPG image so you can edit individual images. For example, say you have a PDF with a report that includes a summarizing graph. This latter option creates an image just with that graph.

  • Lightning-fast conversion: Process PDFs in seconds, not minutes.
  • Crystal-clear quality: High-resolution JPGs that preserve every detail.
  • No watermarks: Your images stay clean and professional.

Convert PDF to JPG on Any Device

Smallpdf works entirely in your browser, so you can convert PDFs to JPGs on Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox without installing anything. Just upload your file, choose your conversion type, and download the images in a format that suits your work.

If you prefer working on mobile, the Smallpdf apps for iOS and Android let you convert PDFs wherever you are. You can switch between phone, tablet, and laptop with ease, and your files stay synced to your Smallpdf account when you’re signed in.

Is PDF to JPG Conversion Secure and Private?

Your files are protected with TLS encryption during upload and processing. We also automatically delete all uploaded and converted files after one hour of processing. Our platform is GDPR compliant and ISO/IEC 27001 certified, meaning your data stays private and secure.

We never share your files with third parties or use them for any purpose other than conversion. When you’re done, your files are gone for good.

Can I Modify the Content of my JPG?

It depends on what you want to accomplish. Although we don’t have an image editor, there are many tools on our site to edit your file while it’s still in PDF format.

You can merge, split, annotate, or even eSign PDF the file before saving it as an image using the PDF2JPG converter. These tools allow you to apply any changes you’d like before you turn your PDF into a JPG. The result will be an image file that looks exactly how you want it to.

Conversely, if you wish to edit written content, converting the PDF to a Word file would be better. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is available for Pro users to transform scans into editable .docx documents. Then, if you want the file in JPG format, you can always switch it back to PDF or JPG.

Troubleshooting Common PDF-To-JPG Issues

Even with a reliable converter, issues can arise for various reasons. These quick checks usually resolve them.

The File Won’t Upload

  • Make sure the PDF isn’t password-protected. If it is, unlock it first using Smallpdf’s Unlock PDF tool.
  • Try reloading the page or switching to another browser, cached sessions can block uploads.
  • Confirm your internet connection if the upload stalls or restarts.

Pages Are Missing After Conversion

  • If the PDF contains scanned images, check that the file opens cleanly in your viewer. Damaged pages can’t be converted.
  • Re-download the PDF in case it was corrupted during transfer.
  • For PDFs created from advanced design tools, exporting a fresh copy often fixes layer or formatting issues.

The ZIP File Won’t Open

  • Your device may block ZIP files from unknown sources, move the file to your desktop and try again.
  • On mobile, ensure your device supports ZIP extraction.
  • Re-download the ZIP if the first download was interrupted.

Image Quality Looks Lower Than Expected

  • JPG output matches the resolution of the original PDF—low-resolution PDFs will create low-resolution JPGs.
  • Some viewers show compressed previews, open the JPG in a dedicated photo viewer to confirm its true quality.
  • For scanned PDFs, rescanning at a higher DPI will improve the final images.

Conversion Freezes Or Takes Too Long

  • Large PDFs with many graphics may need extra processing time.
  • Refresh the page and try the conversion again.
  • Close heavy browser tabs or applications, as they can slow down the process.
