When to Convert PDF to Images

  • Social media posting — most platforms don't accept PDF; converting to JPG lets you share slides and document pages
  • Presentations — insert PDF pages as images in PowerPoint or Google Slides
  • Thumbnails and previews — create cover images from the first page of a PDF for website galleries
  • Document review — share individual pages as images for clients who don't have PDF readers
  • Web embedding — embed document pages as images on a webpage without JavaScript PDF viewers

JPG vs PNG vs WebP — Which to Choose?

  • JPG — Best for most documents. Small file size with good quality. Slight quality loss (compression artefacts) on high contrast edges. Use for: general sharing, email, social media.
  • PNG — Lossless — no quality degradation. Supports transparency. Larger files than JPG. Use for: screenshots, diagrams with sharp text, anything requiring perfect fidelity.
  • WebP — Google's format. 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same quality. Supported by all modern browsers. Use for: web publishing, WordPress, web apps.

Understanding DPI for PDF Conversion

DPI (dots per inch) controls how many pixels represent each inch of the PDF page. A standard A4 page at 72 DPI is 595×842 pixels. At 300 DPI it's 2480×3508 pixels.

  • 72–96 DPI — screen/web quality. Fast to load, small file size.
  • 150 DPI — good balance. Suitable for email and digital viewing.
  • 300 DPI — print quality. Use when printing the extracted images.

SynthPDF vs. iLovePDF for PDF to JPG

Both tools offer PDF to JPG conversion. The key difference: SynthPDF runs the conversion in your browser (no file upload), while iLovePDF uploads to their servers. For sensitive documents, SynthPDF's browser-based approach is the safer choice. For very large PDFs (100+ MB), both tools have their limits on free plans.
