More about PDF to JPG
When a PDF needs to become JPG
JPG opens everywhere and is easy to upload to services that do not accept PDF. Rendering a page as an image is useful for:
- creating a document preview;
- publishing the first page in a listing;
- inserting a document into a presentation;
- sending an image in a messenger.
How the conversion works
The server uses Poppler to render the first PDF page to JPG at 150 DPI. The image is clear on screen and suitable for small-format printing. The result is deleted after download or within an hour.
Limitations
Only the first page is processed. Password-protected or damaged PDFs may not open. For multi-page documents and extracting all pages, use desktop tools.
Questions and answers
Which PDF page is converted?
The current version renders the first page. That is enough for previews and covers. For other pages, use a PDF editor or a desktop tool.
What resolution is used?
The page is rendered at 150 DPI, a good balance between readability and file size. Small text in complex layouts may look less sharp.
Are links and text preserved?
No, JPG is a raster image. Text cannot be selected and links do not work. For an interactive document, use the PDF itself.
Can I convert a password-protected PDF?
No, protected PDFs are not processed. Remove the protection in a PDF editor first.
