PDF to JPG

Render each page of a PDF into a separate JPG image at a DPI you choose. 150 DPI suits screen use and 300 DPI matches print. JPG keeps the output small, which suits photo-heavy pages and previews. Text edges soften slightly, so push the DPI up if the pages are mostly type. Runs on your own Vistalyth Tools instance. Files never reach a third party.

Features

  • Per-page JPG output at a DPI you select
  • Page range selection instead of the whole document
  • Multi-page PDFs returned as a zip of numbered images
  • Your PDF files are processed on your own server and never uploaded anywhere

What you can do

  • Pull page images out of a PDF for a slide deck or a document
  • Generate thumbnails or previews of a PDF's pages
  • Get a flat JPG of a page for somewhere PDF is not accepted

Self-hosted. Your files never leave your network.

Vistalyth Tools runs entirely on your own infrastructure. Files processed with PDF to JPG are never uploaded to third-party servers. Deploy a single Docker container and process files with full privacy, no watermarks, and no usage limits. Open source under AGPL-3.0.

Frequently asked questions

What DPI should I pick?
150 for screens, 300 for print, 600 only if you plan to OCR small type afterwards. Higher DPI multiplies render time and file size quickly.
Can I convert only some pages?
Yes. Give a page range and only those pages render.
Anything to watch with JPG output?
Quality around 85 is the usual sweet spot for scanned pages: visually clean, and a fraction of the lossless size.
Does this work on password-protected PDFs?
Not directly. Remove the password with Unlock PDF first, then convert.
