How to convert a PDF to JPG images, one per page

By the Fusion Office team · Updated

Quick answer

Open PDF to JPG, choose the PDF, keep Page to image selected, pick JPG and a quality (Screen, Standard or Print), and press Convert to images. Each page becomes one image; several download together as a ZIP. To get the photos embedded in the PDF instead, choose Extract images.

Convert step by step

  1. 1Open PDF to JPG and choose the PDF.
  2. 2Keep Page to image.
  3. 3Choose JPG (smaller files) or PNG (sharper text and lines).
  4. 4Pick a quality: Screen (96 DPI), Standard (150 DPI) or Print (300 DPI), and which pages to convert.
  5. 5Press Convert to images and download the images or ZIP.

Which quality to choose

  • Screen: WhatsApp, email previews and social posts. Smallest files.
  • Standard: slides, documents and most uploads.
  • Print: printing the page as a picture, or zooming into fine detail. Largest files.

If an upload form wants the image under a KB limit, shrink it afterwards with Compress image.

Pages versus embedded images

Page to image photographs the whole page, text and all. Extract images pulls out the pictures stored inside the PDF at their original resolution, without the surrounding text, which is better for reusing product photos from a catalogue. Extract images also does this on its own.

To go the other way and turn images into a PDF, use JPG to PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Will the text in the JPG be selectable?

No. A JPG is a picture of the page. Keep the PDF if you need selectable text.

Can I convert just one page?

Yes. Enter that page number in the pages option.
