About PDF ↔ JPG
In the PDF to JPG direction, every selected page is drawn by PDF.js at the resolution you set and saved as its own image. At 150 DPI an A4 page comes out at roughly 1240 × 1750 pixels; at 300 DPI, about 2480 × 3500. JPG gives the smallest files and suits photos and scans, PNG is lossless and keeps small type and line drawings crisp, and WebP sits in between. Pages are painted on a white background in every format, the images carry no metadata from the PDF, and very large pages are capped at 12,000 pixels per side and 40 megapixels so the tab doesn't run out of memory. Files are named after the document and the page, for example report-page-03.jpg.
People convert pages to post a slide or a chart on social media, to drop a page into a presentation or a chat app that won't preview PDFs, and to upload a signed form to a portal that only accepts JPG.
The images are pictures of the pages: text inside them can't be selected or searched, links and form fields don't carry over, and nothing becomes editable — for editable text, a PDF to Word conversion is the right job. The same widget also works in reverse: switch to JPG to PDF to turn photos and screenshots into one document with the page size and margins you choose.
Privacy
PDF.js parses the document in a Web Worker and paints each page onto a canvas in this tab, then your browser's own encoder writes the JPG, PNG or WebP file. Pages and images stay in memory on your device and are never uploaded. Some PDFs make PDF.js fetch generic font maps or a JPEG 2000 decoder from the jsDelivr CDN; those downloads carry nothing from your document.
Features
Sharp output

The JPG to PDF tab turns photos and screenshots into one PDF with your page size and margins.
