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

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.
