How to Convert PDF Pages to JPG Images

Screen-only PDFs look fine at 72 DPI, but you usually need 150–300 DPI for images you will print or zoom into. Higher resolution increases the output file size.

For presentations and web thumbnails, 150 DPI is a practical default. For archival scans or detail-heavy technical drawings, use 300 DPI.

JPG is the smallest option for scanned pages and photo-heavy PDFs. PNG is better for documents with sharp text, diagrams, or fine lines where JPG artifacts would be distracting.

WebP gives a smaller file than JPG at similar visual quality and is a good modern choice when file size matters most.
