Why pdfdots?

Private by design

Most tools process files locally in your browser. Office conversions run on our EU server and are deleted right after; anything you save to My files is encrypted.

Generous free plan

A free account with Google sign-in and no credit card: 3 tasks a day, files up to 10 MB, every tool. Need more? The paid plans (Bronze, Silver and Gold) raise the daily limit, with no daily limit at all on Silver and Gold, and accept larger files.

Fast

For browser tools there's no upload or download queue. Work starts the moment you drop a file and finishes at the speed of your own computer.

Works everywhere

Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android or Chromebook — if it has a modern browser, pdfdots runs on it. Nothing to install.

Choosing the right DPI for your JPGs

DPI (dots per inch) decides how many pixels each page gets. At 72 DPI a standard A4 or Letter page becomes roughly 600 × 800 pixels — small files that are fine for previews, chat messages and quick thumbnails. 150 DPI is the sweet spot for most uses: slides, web pages, social posts and viewing on screen. 300 DPI produces large, crisp images around 2500 × 3500 pixels, suitable for printing, zooming into fine print or feeding into other design tools.

Every page of the PDF becomes its own JPG. If your document has a single page, you get one image file. If it has several, the images are numbered in page order and bundled into one ZIP archive, which you can open with a double-click on Windows and Mac or in the Files app on phones. JPG is ideal for photos and scanned pages; if your pages contain sharp line art, screenshots or you need a transparent-free lossless result, PDF to PNG may be a better fit.

Rendering happens entirely in your browser with the same engine many browsers use to display PDFs, so the images look just like the pages do on screen. Nothing is uploaded, which means you can safely convert contracts, bank statements or unpublished designs. Converting long documents at 300 DPI can take a little longer and uses more memory, so on older phones pick 150 DPI unless you really need print quality.

Our take

We convert PDF to JPG when a document has to live somewhere that only accepts pictures: a chat message, a slide, a social post, or a web form that asks for an image of a certificate rather than a PDF.

Our default is 150 DPI; it looks sharp on screens without producing huge files. We pick 300 DPI only for printing or when someone needs to zoom into small print, and 72 DPI for quick previews that just have to be recognisable.

The pitfall we see is converting a crisp diagram or screenshot to JPG and then wondering why lines look fuzzy around the edges. JPEG is built for photos. For line art, charts and text-heavy pages we prefer PDF to PNG, and if you only need one page, extract it first so you do not end up with a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert only one page to JPG?+

Use Extract Pages to keep just that page, then convert the new PDF to JPG.

Which DPI should I use?+

150 DPI for screens and sharing, 300 DPI for printing or zooming in, and 72 DPI for small previews.

Why did I get a ZIP file?+

Your PDF has more than one page, so the JPGs are bundled into one ZIP for a single download.

Is my PDF uploaded to convert it?+

No. Pages are rendered to images locally in your browser.

Should I choose JPG or PNG?+

JPG gives smaller files for photos and scans; PNG is lossless and better for text, diagrams and screenshots.
