How to Convert PDF Pages to JPG Images
Sometimes you need a PDF page as an image — for embedding in a Word document, posting to social media, using as a slide background, or sending a non-editable preview. PDFPuddle renders PDF pages at up to 3× resolution using PDF.js.
Resolution explained
Scale 1× = 72 DPI, suitable for screen previews. Scale 2× = 144 DPI, the right balance for web embedding and presentations. Scale 3× = 216 DPI, near-print quality for embedding in printed materials. Higher scales produce larger image files but sharper detail when zoomed.
PNG vs JPEG
PNG is lossless, ideal for pages with text, charts, or solid colours where compression artifacts would be visible. JPEG is smaller (often 5–10× smaller than PNG) and good for pages dominated by photos or gradients.
How to convert
Open PDF to JPG, upload your PDF, choose format and scale, click Convert to Images. Each page becomes its own image file, available to download individually.
Common workflows
Extracting a chart from a PDF report to embed in an email. Creating thumbnails of PDF pages for a website. Sharing a document preview without sharing the underlying PDF (which contains text that could be searched or copied).
