PDF (Portable Document Format) is Adobe's universal document standard, designed to present text, images, and layout consistently across any device or platform. First released in 1993 and later standardized as ISO 32000, PDF supports vector graphics, embedded fonts, forms, annotations, and encryption. It has become the de facto format for document exchange, digital publishing, and archival—billions of PDFs are created daily worldwide.

PDF excels at preserving document fidelity and works universally—every operating system and browser includes native PDF support. For long-term archival or regulatory compliance, PDF/A is the appropriate variant.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is the universal standard for photographic images, using lossy DCT-based compression to achieve 10:1 or higher compression ratios with minimal visible quality loss. First published in 1992, it supports 24-bit color and works across every device, browser, and application. The lossy nature means repeated editing and saving degrades quality—best used as a final delivery format.

JPEG excels at photographic content and remains the de facto standard for sharing, publishing, and web delivery. With mature encoders like MozJPEG delivering excellent quality-to-size ratios, JPEG continues to dominate despite newer alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does conversion work for multi-page PDFs?

Each page in your PDF becomes a separate JPG file. A 10-page document creates 10 JPG images. Files are named with zero-padded page numbers (e.g., document-page-01.jpg, document-page-02.jpg) and organized in a folder inside the ZIP download for easy management.

What resolution (DPI) are the output JPG images?

All JPG images are rendered at 300 DPI (dots per inch), the professional standard for print-quality output. This ensures sharp text and clear images suitable for presentations, archiving, or printing.

Will text in my PDF remain sharp and readable?

Yes. Our 300 DPI rendering ensures text remains crisp and readable. However, remember that JPG is a lossy raster format—the text becomes pixels rather than vector paths. If you need editable text or perfect sharpness for very small fonts, keep your original PDF or use a vector-based workflow.

Will text remain searchable after conversion?

No. Converting to JPG creates raster images—text becomes pixels rather than selectable/searchable characters. The visual appearance is preserved at 300 DPI, but:

  • Text cannot be selected, copied, or searched
  • OCR would be needed to extract text from the images
  • Hyperlinks and bookmarks are not preserved

This conversion is ideal for visual snapshots, sharing previews, or printing—not for text extraction. Keep your original PDF if you need searchable text.

Can I convert password-protected PDFs?

No. Password-protected PDFs cannot be processed. Remove protection before uploading.

Adobe Reader steps: File → Properties → Security tab → remove password protection → Save. Alternatively, use a tool like qpdf to decrypt the file.

When should I choose PNG over JPG for PDF pages?

Choose our PDF to PNG converter when you need lossless quality—diagrams, screenshots, text-heavy pages, or graphics with sharp edges. JPG is better for photos and continuous-tone images where slight compression artifacts are invisible, and file size matters more than pixel-perfect accuracy.

Do scanned PDFs convert differently than text-based PDFs?

Both types convert identically at the pixel level—we render each page as a 300 DPI image regardless of whether the PDF contains vector text or scanned images. The difference is quality: text-based PDFs produce crisp, sharp output because the text is rendered from vectors. Scanned PDFs are limited by the original scan quality—a 150 DPI scan won't become sharper at 300 DPI output.

What file sizes should I expect from converted JPGs?

File size depends on page content. Text-heavy pages with white backgrounds compress efficiently (typically 100-300 KB per page). Full-color photos or complex graphics produce larger files (500 KB-2 MB per page). At 300 DPI, a standard letter-size page is 2550×3300 pixels before compression.

What are the page count limits for PDF conversion?

Your Guest tier allows up to 200 pages per PDF. Larger documents require a higher tier:

TierMax Pages per PDF
Guest/Free200 pages
Pro2000 pages

What are the limits for this converter?

TierMax File SizeMax Files/BatchParallel Processing
Guest/Free50 MB50 files3 at once
Pro1024 MB1000 files6 at once

Note: File size limits are specific to this converter. Batch and parallel processing limits apply to all documents converters site-wide. See all converter limits →

How are credits calculated for this conversion?

Cost: 1 credit per 5 pages

How it works:

  • 1-5 pages: 1 credit
  • 6-10 pages: 2 credits
  • 11-15 pages: 3 credits
  • 16-20 pages: 4 credits

Example: A 5-page document = 1 credit. A 23-page report = 5 credits.

Why per-page? Each page requires individual rendering, processing, and storage.

What are my daily and monthly credit limits?

Credit allocations vary by account tier:

TierDaily LimitMonthly Limit
Guest100 credits/day
Free100 credits/day
Pro12,000 credits/month

Daily credits (Guest & Free tiers) reset every day at midnight UTC. Monthly credits (Pro) reset on your billing cycle date.

Note: With 1 credit per 5 pages, a typical document costs 1 credit. Pro users can convert thousands of documents per month.
