PDF to JPG
Convert PDF to JPG (High Quality) — 300 DPI
Most PDF-to-JPG converters spit out 72 DPI thumbnails — fine for screen viewing, useless for printing or zooming. Our converter renders pages at 300 DPI by default (print-ready) and lets you push to 600 DPI for high-detail work like architectural drawings or photo portfolios. Pick the resolution, pick which pages, get sharp JPGs ready for Instagram, Keynote, or your design comp.

What you should know
What 300 DPI means in practice
DPI = dots per inch. A US Letter page (8.5×11") at 300 DPI is 2,550 × 3,300 pixels — sharp on phones, tablets, laptops, and standard prints up to 8×10. At 600 DPI it's 5,100 × 6,600 — magazine and book printing quality.
When to use JPG vs. PNG
JPG: photos, color illustrations, anything with gradients. Smaller files, lossy compression. PNG: text-heavy pages, line art, screenshots, transparency. Larger files, lossless. For PDF pages with both, JPG is usually fine.
File size at different DPIs
Same Letter-size page: 72 DPI ≈ 50 KB · 150 DPI ≈ 200 KB · 300 DPI ≈ 800 KB · 600 DPI ≈ 3 MB. A 100-page PDF at 600 DPI becomes 300 MB of JPGs — pick resolution accordingly.
Color profiles
Output is sRGB JPG, which is the right color space for screens, web, and most consumer printing. For commercial print (CMYK) you'll need to color-convert in Photoshop after — JPG is RGB by definition.
Tips that actually help
- For Instagram posts, 1080×1080 px at any DPI is fine — they re-encode. For grid posts, export at 300 DPI then crop in Photoshop.
- For Keynote / PowerPoint, 150 DPI is usually plenty unless you're zooming. Saves on file size.
- For blog featured images, 1200×630 at 72–150 DPI is standard. Save bandwidth.
- Always keep the source PDF — JPG is lossy and you can't go back to vector quality.

Frequently asked questions
What's the highest resolution I can export?
600 DPI on free, up to 1200 DPI on Pro. For most purposes 300 DPI is plenty.
Can I export specific pages only?
Yes — pick a single page, a range (5–10), or non-contiguous pages (1, 3, 5).
Does it preserve the original page size?
Yes — a Letter-size page stays Letter-size at the chosen DPI. A4 stays A4. Custom sizes are preserved.
Why are my JPG files so big?
Probably exporting at 600 DPI when you need 300. Lower the DPI and re-export.
Can I batch-convert multiple PDFs?
Pro and Business plans support batch processing. Free and Plus convert one PDF at a time.

Compress PDF for Email
Email attachment limits are the #1 reason PDFs get bounced. Gmail caps attachments at 25 MB, Outlook.com at 20 MB, Yahoo Mail at 25 MB, and most corporate Exchange servers cap at 10 MB or less. If your PDF is over the limit, you have two choices: compress it or upload it to a cloud share. Compressing is faster, keeps the email self-contained, and usually preserves enough quality for everyday documents.

PDF to Word
PDF to Word Without Losing Formatting
The dream conversion: PDF in, perfectly editable Word doc out, fonts intact, tables aligned, no ASCII salad. Reality is messier — some PDFs were never editable Word in the first place (they're scans, or they were generated from InDesign), and even the cleanest PDFs require layout judgment to convert. Our converter does the best-possible round-trip: text stays as text, paragraphs stay as paragraphs, tables stay as tables when possible, and fonts substitute to the closest available match.

Merge PDF
Merge PDF for Portfolio
A portfolio PDF is your highlight reel — usually 8–15 pages of best work, exported individually from InDesign, Figma, or Photoshop and then combined. The combine step is where most people lose either quality (bad merger compresses images) or order (alphabetical filenames produce a random sequence). Our merge tool keeps original image quality and lets you drag pages into the order you want.
