About PDF to JPG
Turning PDF pages into images is a rendering job, and the single setting that determines whether the result is usable is resolution. A PDF page is vector data with no inherent pixel size, so it must be rasterised at a chosen scale. Render at screen resolution and text looks fine on screen but pixelates the moment anyone zooms or prints. Each page becomes its own JPG, rendered locally in your browser.
When to use PDF to JPG
Posting a page where PDFs aren't supported
Social platforms, forums and many chat apps display images inline but treat a PDF as an attachment nobody opens.
Dropping a page into a slide deck
Presentation software handles images far more predictably than embedded PDF objects.
Uploading where only images are accepted
Forms that accept JPG or PNG but reject PDF outright — common on older portals.
Limitations worth knowing
- The output is an image, so the text is no longer selectable or searchable. This is inherent to rasterising.
- JPEG is lossy and handles sharp text edges poorly — fine print can show visible artefacts.
- Very long documents produce many large images and can exhaust browser memory.
- Rendering depends on your device, so a large PDF takes noticeably longer on a phone.

Frequently asked questions
Will the text still be searchable in the JPG?+
No. Converting a page to an image discards the text layer entirely — what remains is a picture of the words. If you need searchable text, extract it with the PDF to Word tool instead, or keep the document as a PDF.
Why does my text look fuzzy?+
The page was rasterised at too low a resolution for its content. PDFs are resolution-independent, so pixel dimensions only exist once rendered. Documents with small print need a higher render scale — and JPEG compounds this, since JPEG artefacts cluster exactly at the sharp edges that letterforms are made of.
Should I use JPG or PNG for pages of text?+
PNG, if you have the choice. JPEG was designed for photographs with smooth gradients and produces halos around high-contrast text. PNG is lossless, so letterforms stay crisp — the file is larger, but a page of text is exactly the case where JPEG performs worst.
