What's the maximum resolution for JPG conversion?

Our tool supports up to 300 DPI (dots per inch) for high-quality prints. For web use, 72-150 DPI is usually sufficient and results in smaller file sizes.

Can I convert only specific pages to JPG?

Yes! You can select individual pages or page ranges to convert. For example, convert only pages 1-5, or select specific pages like 1, 3, and 7.

Will the text in my PDF remain clear in the JPG?

Absolutely. Our conversion process maintains text clarity and sharpness. You can adjust the resolution to ensure text remains readable, even at smaller sizes.

Can I convert PDF to other image formats?

Yes, in addition to JPG, you can convert to PNG (for transparency), WebP (for web optimization), and TIFF (for high-quality prints).

How to Convert PDF to JPG

Sometimes a PDF page is more useful as an image. Maybe you want to post a page on social media, drop a diagram into a slide, use a certificate as a thumbnail, or preview a document where PDFs aren't supported. Converting PDF to JPG turns each page into a standalone image you can view, share and embed anywhere images are accepted.

PDFOrca renders every page of your PDF as a high-quality JPG. Whether it's a single certificate or a multi-page report, you get one crisp image per page, ready to download and reuse.

When an image beats a PDF

Social media and messaging apps that preview images but not PDF attachments.
Presentations and documents where you want to drop a page in as a picture.
Website content — showing a page inline without an embedded PDF viewer.
Quick previews of a document's contents in a photo gallery.

Clarity you can rely on

Pages are rendered at a resolution that keeps text sharp and fine detail intact, so a converted invoice or diagram stays readable rather than turning blurry. Vector graphics and text are rasterised cleanly at export time, which usually looks better than screenshotting a page yourself. If you need the images smaller for the web, compress them after export.

Practical tips for better results

Choose the right DPI — 150 DPI is usually enough for on-screen viewing and social media. Use 300 DPI when you plan to print the image or need fine text to remain razor-sharp.
Use quality 80–90% for the best balance — this keeps file sizes manageable while preserving detail. Going above 95% rarely improves visible quality but can double the file size.
Extract specific pages first — if you only need a few pages from a long PDF, use Extract Pages to pull them out before converting. This avoids downloading a large ZIP full of images you don't need.
Consider PNG for text-heavy pages — JPG is ideal for photographs and coloured graphics, but pages that are mostly text and line art may look slightly crisper as PNG images at comparable file sizes.

Going the other way — turning a batch of images back into a single document — is what JPG to PDF is for. If you only need images from certain pages, pull those pages out first with Extract Pages, then convert. And when you'd rather keep everything as a PDF but make it smaller, Compress PDF is the better choice than converting to images.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert all pages at once?

Yes. When you select 'All Pages', every page of your PDF is converted to a separate JPG image and delivered together in a single ZIP archive. You can then extract the ZIP and use each image individually — no need to convert pages one at a time.

What quality will the images be?

You can choose the output quality using the quality slider. Higher quality (90–100%) produces sharper, print-ready images at larger file sizes, while lower quality (60–75%) creates smaller files ideal for web use or email attachments. The DPI setting also lets you control resolution.

Can I extract just one page?

Yes. Switch to 'Specific Page' mode and enter the page number you want. Only that page is converted and downloaded as a standalone JPG, which is useful when you need a single chart, certificate, or diagram from a longer document.

What DPI are the output images?

Images are exported at 150 DPI by default, which balances clarity with file size. This is sharp enough for on-screen reading and most print uses.

What is the maximum file size I can convert?

You can upload PDFs up to 100 MB for free. For very large files or documents with many pages, the tool automatically adjusts the DPI setting if needed to ensure the conversion completes without timing out.
