How to Convert PDF Pages to JPG Images
LinkedIn will not take your certificate as a PDF, a WhatsApp group reads pictures far more easily than attachments, and a slide needs one page of a report as an image. Turning PDF pages into JPG pictures solves all three, and takes a few seconds.
Pages as pictures, or the pictures inside the pages?
There are two different jobs. Converting pages makes an image of each whole page, exactly as it looks, text and all; use it to share or post a page. Extracting images pulls out the photos, logos and figures that are embedded in the PDF, at their own size, without the text around them; use it when you want the product photos from a catalogue or the charts from a report.
Convert pages to JPG
Open PDF to JPG and add your PDF from your device, Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive, up to 260 MB. Choose the Image row with JPG selected. Each page becomes a JPG; a multi-page PDF comes back as a ZIP file with one picture per page, in page order.
If you only need one page, take it out first with Extract PDF Pages and convert that single page, so you do not have to dig through a ZIP of fifty images.
JPG or PNG?
JPG makes smaller files and suits pages with photos. PNG keeps sharp edges perfectly and suits pages that are mostly text, tables or diagrams, where JPG can leave faint smudges around letters. If a page with small print looks soft as a JPG, convert it with PDF to PNG instead.
Extract the images inside
Open Extract Images from PDF and add the file. Every photo, logo and figure is saved as a separate image file, at the quality it has inside the PDF. Nothing is added or redrawn, so an image is only as sharp as the one the PDF author put in.
Before you post
Page images can be large. Compress Image reduces the file size for upload limits, and a certificate or ID page you post publicly may carry details such as a reference number that you want to cover first.
