Will every page of my PDF be converted?

Yes — every page is rendered as its own separate JPG image in one operation.

What if my PDF has more than one page?

All resulting JPG images are bundled together into a single .zip file for you to download.

Which resolution should I choose?

96 DPI suits web use, 150 DPI is a solid general default, and 300 DPI is best when the image will be printed or zoomed into.

Does this work in Safari on macOS?

Yes — it works in Safari as well as Chrome, Firefox or any other modern Mac browser.

Do I need Preview or Adobe Acrobat on my Mac?

No — everything happens in your browser, so neither Preview nor Acrobat is required.

PDF to JPG on Mac

macOS's Preview app can handle a few basic PDF tasks, but it doesn't cover everything, and not everyone wants to dig through Preview's menus to find the right feature. My PDF works the same way in Safari, Chrome or any other Mac browser, with no need to open Preview at all.

Why This Matters

What Is a PDF to JPG Converter?

A PDF to JPG converter renders every page of a PDF document as a separate JPG image, at a resolution you choose, so each page can be viewed, edited or shared exactly like a photograph rather than as part of a PDF document. If the PDF has more than one page, all of the resulting JPGs are delivered together in a single .zip file.

Step by Step

How to PDF to JPG on Mac

Upload Your PDF

Drag in the PDF you want to convert, or click to browse and select it. On a Mac, drag the file in directly from Finder — Safari, Chrome and Firefox all support it the same way.

Choose a Resolution

Pick 96, 150 or 300 DPI depending on how the images will be used.

Click Convert to JPG

Our server renders every page as a JPG image, typically within seconds.

Download Your Images

Save the single JPG directly, or the .zip file if your PDF had more than one page.

Tips

Match Resolution to Purpose — Use 96 DPI for web thumbnails, 150 DPI for general use, and 300 DPI when the image is headed to print.
Use PNG Instead for Text-Heavy Pages — If a page is mostly text or diagrams rather than photos, PDF to PNG will usually look noticeably sharper.
If you already have the file open in Preview, there is no need to close it — just drag it directly from Finder into the browser tab instead.
Trackpad drag-and-drop from Finder works exactly the same as a mouse.

Avoid These

Common Mistakes

Uploading a file that is already password-protected without unlocking it first — most operations require an unencrypted starting file.
Assuming a converted or compressed file replaces the need for the original — keep your source file until you have confirmed the result looks right.
Not checking the 50 MB upload size limit before starting, then wondering why a very large scan fails to upload.
Digging through Preview's limited menu options first, when a purpose-built tool is often faster.
