Don't take our word for it. Turn off your Wi‑Fi, then use this tool. It will work exactly the same, which is only possible because your file never goes anywhere.
Choosing a resolution that holds up
A PDF page has no resolution of its own. It is a description of shapes and text that can be drawn at any size, and converting to JPG means choosing how large to draw it. That single choice is the difference between a crisp image and the soft grey result most converters hand back.
What the numbers mean
- 72 DPI — roughly 595 pixels wide for A4. Thumbnails only.
- 150 DPI — about 1240 pixels. The right default for screens, slides and anything going into a document.
- 300 DPI — about 2480 pixels. Print quality, and the point at which extra detail stops being visible to the eye.
- 600 DPI — about 4960 pixels. Only worth it if someone will zoom deeply into fine print or a detailed drawing.
Most converters default to 72 or 96 DPI without telling you, which is why the output so often looks worse than the PDF did on screen. If a converted page looks soft, resolution is almost always the reason.
When PNG is the better answer
JPG compresses photographs well and text badly. Its compression works by discarding detail at sharp edges, and text is nothing but sharp edges, so letters pick up a faint halo — worse at every save. PNG is lossless and keeps text crisp.
- Pages that are mostly text or line drawings — use PNG.
- Pages that are mostly photographs — use JPG, which will be far smaller.
- Pages you intend to edit or re-save later — use PNG, since JPG loses a little more each time.
- Anything needing a transparent background — PNG, as JPG has none.
Converting a whole document
Every page becomes its own image, named in page order. For a long document that is a lot of files, so it is worth extracting the pages you actually need first rather than converting all of them and sorting through the results.

Questions people ask
What resolution should I choose?
150 DPI is fine for screens. Pick 300 DPI if you're going to print the images or need to read fine detail.
Why can I no longer select the text after converting?
Because the page is now a picture. Converting to JPG replaces the text instructions with pixels that happen to look like letters. If you need the words back, convert the original PDF to text rather than to an image.
Why does my converted image look blurry?
The resolution was too low — most tools quietly default to 72 or 96 DPI. Convert again at 150 or 300 and the difference is immediate.
Can I convert only one page of a PDF?
Yes. Extract the page you want first, then convert that single-page file. It is faster and saves sorting through output you do not need.
Are my pages uploaded to a server to be converted?
No. The rendering happens in your browser using your own device, so the document never leaves it. That matters for anything with personal or commercial detail on the page.
