Which resolution should I choose?

For a phone or computer screen, 150 dpi is usually plenty. Choose 300 dpi when the image will be printed or when small print must stay readable after zooming. The custom field accepts values from 36 to 600 dpi.

Can I convert just one page?

Yes. Remove all other cards and convert; a single page downloads as one JPG file rather than a ZIP.

My PDF is password protected. Can I still use it?

If you know the open password, enter it when the tool asks and the pages are shown as usual. Without the password the pages cannot be read.

Why did I get a warning about East Asian fonts?

Some PDFs use Chinese, Japanese or Korean fonts without including them in the file. The tool names the affected pages, because text set in those fonts may be missing from the picture. Opening and re-saving the PDF in the program that created it, with fonts embedded, usually fixes this.

What happens to my PDF after conversion?

The PDF is processed on vupdf's own servers only to create the images, and both the upload and the results are deleted right after you receive them.

What PDF to JPG does

PDF to JPG saves the pages of a PDF as pictures, for places a PDF cannot go: a chat message, a social media post, someone else's slides or a website that only accepts images.

After upload, every page appears as a card with a thumbnail. Remove the pages you do not need, turn sideways pages upright and rename the images before converting. Resolution is set in dpi, with presets for screen and print or a custom value, and the tool shows how many pixels the first page will measure. You get separate JPG files in a ZIP, or all pages stacked into one tall image.

How to use PDF to JPG

Upload a PDF of up to 25 MB by clicking the upload area or dropping the file on it.
If the PDF is locked, type its open password into the box that appears so the pages can be shown.
On the page cards, remove the pages you do not want, rotate any that are sideways, and edit the file names if needed.
Choose a resolution: 72, 150 or 300 dpi, or Custom to enter any value from 36 to 600.
With more than one page left, pick “Separate images” or “One tall image”, and optionally type a name for the file.
Start the conversion and download the JPG, the tall image or the ZIP.

Features and options

Page cards with thumbnails: Each page is shown as its own card, so you can see what you are about to export. Removing a card leaves that page out of the result, and Ctrl+Z or Cmd+Z undoes a removal or rotation.
Per-page rotation: A landscape table printed sideways, or a scan fed upside down, can be turned in 90-degree steps on its card. The rotation is applied to the image only; your PDF is not changed.
Resolution with a pixel preview: 72 dpi gives small images for previews, 150 dpi suits screens and messaging, and 300 dpi is the usual choice for printing. Under the choice you see the pixel size of page 1, so you know in advance whether the image will be sharp enough.
Separate files or one tall image: Separate images arrive together in a ZIP, which is practical for galleries and uploads. The tall image stacks the selected pages from top to bottom, which is handy for sharing a short document as one scrollable picture.

When it helps

You want to post the first page of a flyer or menu on social media without asking followers to download a PDF.
A colleague needs two charts from a report as pictures to drop into their own slides.
An online form only accepts JPG uploads, but the document you were sent is a PDF.

Tips and limits

The upload limit is 25 MB and the tool renders at most 300 pages. For a longer document, cut out the part you need with Split PDF first.
A tall image built from many pages, or at a high resolution, can become too long to create. Lower the resolution or choose separate images instead.
The images are pictures of the pages, so their text cannot be edited. If you want to change the wording, PDF to Word is the better route.
