How Do You Convert PDF to JPG?
You convert PDF to JPG by opening the PDF in QuickCatPDF's PDF to JPG tool, ticking the pages you want and clicking Convert to JPG. Each page becomes a JPG image; one page downloads directly and several come as a ZIP. You can also set a maximum size per image, such as 100 KB, for upload forms.
The conversion runs in your browser, so certificates, mark sheets and contracts are never uploaded to a server.
How to Convert PDF to JPG With QuickCatPDF
Turning PDF pages into JPG images takes four steps.
- Click Select PDF file or drop your PDF onto the page. Enter the password if it's protected.
- Choose pages by ticking them, or type a range like "1-3" in Pages.
- Set Resolution (150 DPI by default, 300 DPI for print), JPG quality, and if needed Maximum size per image.
- Click Convert to JPG, then Download JPG or Download ZIP.
Why Use QuickCatPDF for PDF to JPG?
QuickCatPDF can make each JPG fit a size limit. Choose 50 KB, 100 KB, 200 KB, 500 KB or a custom size, and the tool finds the sharpest version of each page that fits. In our tests, a photo page at 300 DPI fitted under 100 KB and a scanned page fitted in 49 KB.
You also get full control over quality: resolutions from 72 to 600 DPI, three JPG quality levels, grayscale, and page picking. A 60-page PDF converted to JPG at 150 DPI in under 5 seconds in our test.
Privacy comes built in, because the PDF is opened on your device. The page works offline after your first visit too.
The limit: JPG uses lossy compression, so very small text can look slightly soft at low settings. For crisp text, use 300 DPI or switch to PDF to PNG.
How Do You Save a PDF Certificate or Merit List as a JPG?
Open the PDF, tick only the page you need, and convert. A single page downloads straight away as a JPG, named after the PDF and the page number.
Many application portals ask for a JPG under a size limit. Set Maximum size per image to the portal's limit, such as 100 KB or 200 KB, before converting. If you need to go the other way and turn photos into a PDF under a limit, use Image to PDF under 200KB.
Which Resolution Should You Use for PDF to JPG?
150 DPI suits viewing on screens and sharing in chats. 300 DPI is the standard for printing and gives high resolution JPG images: an A4 page becomes 2480 × 3507 pixels.
The 2x and 4x options (144 and 288 DPI) are useful for high-resolution screens, and 600 DPI for fine print. Higher DPI means bigger files, so pair a high resolution with a size limit if the files must stay small.
How Do You Convert Several Pages to JPG at Once?
Leave all pages ticked, or type a range, and click Convert to JPG. The pages download together as a ZIP, with names like "report-page-01.jpg", "report-page-02.jpg", so they sort in the right order.
Each image in the result list can also be downloaded on its own. For other image formats, see PDF to Image; to turn JPGs back into a PDF, use JPG to PDF.
Frequently asked questions
Is JPEG the same as JPG?
Yes, JPEG and JPG are the same format, so PDF to JPEG works here in exactly the same way. The files are saved with the .jpg ending, which every device recognises.
Is there a free PDF to JPG converter with no watermark?
Yes, QuickCatPDF is free, with no watermark, no sign-up and no daily limit.
Can I convert PDF to JPG at 300 DPI?
Yes, choose 300 DPI (print) under Resolution. For extra detail, 600 DPI is available too.
How do I make a JPG under 100 KB from a PDF?
Set Maximum size per image to 100 KB before converting. Each page is made as sharp as possible within 100 KB. If lowering the quality isn't enough, the tool also reduces the image's pixel size, and it tells you if a page still can't fit.
Are my PDFs uploaded or stored?
No, your browser opens and converts the PDF on your device, so there's nothing on a server to delete. Close the tab or click Convert another PDF to clear it.
Why does my JPG look blurry?
The resolution was probably too low for the page's small text. Convert again at 300 DPI, choose High quality, or use PNG for text-heavy pages.
