Save One PDF Page as a JPG
Saving a PDF page as a JPG turns that page into a single picture file. This guide lists the steps we ran with this site's PDF to JPG tool, and the results for one test page at each resolution.

How do I save just one page as a JPG?
Type the page number in the Pages box and click Save as JPG.
- Open PDF to JPG and add your PDF. You will see the page count and size, such as "2 pages · 32 KB".
- Choose a Resolution and a Quality. How to choose is below.
- In Pages, type the pages to save. Leave it empty for all pages. Type
1for one page, or1-3, 5for several. - Click the save button, which shows the page count, such as "Save as JPG (1 page)".
- On the result screen, check the image size and file size, then click Download JPG. The file is named
<original name>_page<number>.jpg.
How do I choose a resolution?
Choose Screen to view on a screen, Standard (recommended) to share a document, and Print to print. The screen lists them as 96 dpi, 150 dpi and 300 dpi. We saved page 1 of a test PDF (A4 size, text and a table only) with each setting:
| Resolution | Image size | Quality: High | Quality: Medium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Screen, 96 dpi | 794×1123px | 49 KB | 43 KB |
| Standard, 150 dpi | 1240×1754px | 95 KB | 83 KB |
| Print, 300 dpi | 2480×3508px | 252 KB | 220 KB |
The screen shows the "First page image size" as soon as you choose a resolution. These numbers are for a test page of text and a table only, so a page with many photos gives bigger files. Saving a 1-page test scan at 150 dpi and High quality gave 762 KB. We measured image size and file size here; we did not compare picture quality by eye, so open the saved image and look at it yourself.
What happens if I save several pages?
With 2 or more images, each page becomes its own JPG, and Download all as ZIP gets them in one go. Converting our 2-page test PDF with the default settings (150 dpi, High) showed "2 JPG images created · 166 KB in total", with a Download button for each page as well. The ZIP is named <original name>_jpg.zip and held one image per page.
When this does not work
- Password-protected PDFs are not supported. Adding one showed a notice that password-protected PDFs are not supported for JPG conversion. → Can't Merge or Split a Protected PDF?
- A page number that does not exist showed a message asking for a number in the valid range, and the save button could not be clicked.
- A JPG is a picture, so you cannot select or copy its text afterwards. Keep the PDF if you need the text.
- According to the on-screen note, transparent backgrounds are saved as white and a page's rotation is kept as it is displayed. We did not test these two ourselves.
- Very large pages are saved at a lower resolution. When we saved a fake 4000×6000pt page at 300 dpi, a notice said the page was large and was saved at a lower resolution (long side 7348px), and the result was 4899×7348px. This is a result on a test page.
To pull some pages out as a new PDF instead, see How to extract pages from a PDF. If you want a smaller PDF rather than pictures, see How to reduce PDF file size.
