How to Convert PDF to JPG — Free, No Upload

Converting PDF pages to images is useful for sharing on social media, embedding in presentations, sending previews without the full document, or simply viewing a PDF where you don't have a reader installed. This guide covers how to do it for free in your browser — with every page extracted in high resolution.

When to Convert PDF to Image

There are several practical reasons to extract PDF pages as JPG or PNG images:

Social media sharing — platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and WhatsApp don't render PDFs. Convert to images to share page previews directly.
Presentations — embed specific PDF pages into PowerPoint or Google Slides without copy-paste formatting issues.
Document previews — generate thumbnail images of a PDF for a website or app.
Archiving — some document management systems require images rather than PDFs for certain record types.
Editing in image software — if you want to annotate or mark up a document in Photoshop, GIMP, or Canva, image format is required.

JPG vs PNG — Which Should You Choose?

Format	Best For	File Size	Transparency
JPG / JPEG	Colour documents, photos, scans	Smaller	✗ No
PNG	Text-heavy docs, logos, diagrams	Larger	✓ Yes

For most purposes — sharing, email, presentations — JPG is fine. Use PNG if the document has a transparent background or if you need pixel-perfect text for further editing.

How to Convert PDF to JPG Using Rifix

Go to rifixpdf.xyz/pdf2img
Click Open PDF and select your file
Choose JPG or PNG as the output format
Set the resolution — 150 DPI for screen/web use, 300 DPI for printing
Click Convert All Pages
Download individual pages or all pages as a ZIP file

The conversion runs entirely in your browser using PDF.js rendering. Even large multi-page documents are processed locally — no file is sent to any server.

💡 Resolution Guide

72 DPI — screen only, smallest file size. 150 DPI — good for web, email previews, presentations. 300 DPI — print quality, use when the image will be printed or needs to be enlarged. Higher than 300 DPI is rarely necessary for standard A4/Letter pages.

Converting a Single Page vs All Pages

If you only need one specific page from a large document, navigate to that page first using the page arrows, then use Convert This Page instead of Convert All Pages. This saves processing time and gives you a single image file rather than a ZIP.

What About Password-Protected PDFs?

If your PDF has an open password, you'll be prompted to enter it before conversion. Permissions-protected PDFs (print/copy blocked) can still be converted to images — the image output isn't restricted by copy permissions.

Converting PDF to Images on Mobile

Rifix works fully in mobile browsers for PDF-to-image conversion:

Open Chrome or Safari on your phone
Go to rifixpdf.xyz/pdf2img
Tap Open PDF and select from your Files app
Choose format and resolution, then convert
Tap Download — images save to your Photos or Downloads folder

On mobile, 150 DPI is recommended as the default — 300 DPI will produce very large image files that take longer to generate on a phone's processor.

Image Quality After Conversion

The quality of the output image depends on two factors: the resolution setting you choose, and the original quality of the PDF content. Text-based PDFs (created from Word, InDesign, etc.) will render crisply at any resolution. Scanned PDFs that are already photographic will look identical to the scan — there's no upscaling of original image quality.
