DPI is a decision about the output, not the input

A PDF has no inherent DPI. Its pages are measured in points — 72 to the inch — and its vector content is resolution-independent. When you export to JPG you are choosing how many pixels to render per inch of page, and that choice is entirely yours. An A4 page at 72 DPI is 595×842 pixels; at 300 DPI it is 2480×3508.

The exception is a scanned PDF, where each page is already a bitmap at some fixed resolution. Rendering a 200 DPI scan at 600 DPI produces a bigger file with no additional detail — you are upscaling pixels, not recovering them. If your source is a scan, match or undercut its native resolution. If it is vector text and diagrams, go as high as you have patience for; every extra DPI is real, new detail.

Choose PNG for pages with line art, screenshots or flat colour, where JPEG artefacts around hard edges are obvious. Choose JPG for photographs and scans.

Why nothing uploads. Every operation on this page happens inside your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is read into memory, processed, and offered back as a download. It is never transmitted. Disconnect from the internet after this page loads and the tool keeps working.

Frequently asked questions

What DPI should I use to convert a PDF to JPG?
150 DPI for on-screen use, 300 DPI for print, 600 DPI only if the source is vector and you intend to enlarge. Rendering above a scan's native resolution adds file size, not detail.
Should I export as JPG or PNG?
PNG for text, diagrams and screenshots — its lossless compression keeps edges crisp. JPG for photographs and scans, where its smaller files cost you nothing visible.
Why is my exported image blurry?
Either the DPI is too low, or the PDF is a low-resolution scan. Check the source: if the original was scanned at 150 DPI, no export setting can produce sharper output.
Can I export just one page?
This tool exports every page. To export a single page, extract it first with Extract PDF Pages, then convert the one-page file.
Do the exported images have transparent backgrounds?
No. Pages are rendered onto a white background, which matches how they print. A transparent export would show as black in most viewers.
