How it works

How to convert PDF pages to JPG or PNG on Windows

Three steps, all on your PC. Nothing is uploaded.

  1. Open Tools › PDF › PDF to images, or choose To pictures in the Reader’s Convert menu.

  2. Choose the picture format, the resolution and every page or some pages.

  3. Find the pictures next to the PDF. The PDF itself is not changed.

What you get

Built for the real document.

  • Four picture formats

    PNG keeps text sharp, JPG is smallest for scans and photos, WebP suits websites and TIFF print.

  • Screen or print

    72, 150, 300 or 600 dpi. The dialog shows how many pixels the first page will be.

  • Just the pages you need

    Every page, or a list such as 1-3, 5, 8- (to the last page).

  • One page from the Reader

    Right-click a page in the Reader to save that page alone as a picture.

Your choices

Every choice, before it starts.

PNG is lossless: text and lines stay sharp, and it opens everywhere.

Resolution

Page 1 becomes 1240 × 1754 pixels (an A4 page at 150 dpi).

Quality

For JPG. Lower is smaller.

Pages

Every page(selected)Some pages

Some pages takes a list such as 1-3, 5, 8-; “8-” runs to the last page.

Each PDF gets a folder of pictures, such as “report (images)”. The original is not changed.

Under the hood

How it decides.

What it reads, what it saves, and the rules it follows, taken from the app itself.

Reads 1 file type

  • .pdf

Saves as

  • report (page 5).png, for one page
  • report (images) › report (page 01).png, report (page 02).png…

Never over another file, and never over your original.

  • Pictures like any other

    Each page is drawn on white and saved exactly as a picture of that format would be.

  • Names that sort

    Page numbers in a folder are zero-padded, so page 10 comes after page 9.

  • Every core at work

    Pages are drawn and saved in batches across all your processor cores.

  • Restricted PDFs welcome

    A PDF that only restricts printing or copying still works: saving a page as a picture is like printing it.

Good to know

Honest limits.

What this tool does not do, said plainly.

  • Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first, with Unlock PDF.
  • Pages are drawn on white; transparent backgrounds are not kept.
  • A page that would be enormous at the chosen resolution is drawn smaller, with a warning.

Another question? Everything about Podalls Convert.

Can I save just one page of a PDF as a picture?

Yes. Right-click the page in the Reader and choose Save this page as a picture, or list that page under Some pages.

Which resolution should I choose?

150 dpi suits screens, slides and sharing; 300 dpi suits printing. 600 dpi makes very large files.

How do I convert a PDF to JPG?

Open PDF to images, choose the PDF, pick JPG and a resolution, and save. Each page becomes its own JPG in a folder named after the PDF.

Should I save PDF pages as PNG or JPG?

PNG for pages of text, charts and drawings: they stay sharp. JPG for scans and photos: the files are much smaller.
