How to convert PDF to JPG
- Drop the PDF.
- Pick a resolution, and pages if not all.
- Press Convert and download each JPG.
What happens to your file
Each page is rasterised — drawn to pixels — at the DPI you chose, then encoded as JPEG. Text becomes pixels: it is no longer selectable, which is the point when you need an image.
JPEG has no transparency; page backgrounds come out white. For transparency or exact colours, use PDF to PNG.
Up to twelve pages per job, to keep the wait short. Name a range for the rest.
Questions
Which resolution should I choose?
150 DPI reads well on any screen and keeps files small. 300 DPI is for printing or zooming into fine detail; 72 DPI is for thumbnails.
Can I convert just the first page?
Type "1" in the Pages field; only that page is rendered and you get one JPG.
Why is the JPG blurry?
The DPI is too low for how large it is being shown. Re-run at 300 DPI.
Do it once, not on every form
Fixing a file here means downloading it and going back to the form. The Fylane extension does this work inside the form instead, on the file you already have.
And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.
Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.
