Sometimes you need a page of a PDF as an image: to post it on Instagram, drop it into a presentation or send it over WhatsApp without the other person needing a PDF reader. Converting the PDF to JPG or PNG solves this in seconds. Here we explain how and with what quality.
JPG or PNG for your PDF?
Use JPG if the page has photos or lots of colour and you want a light file. Use PNG if the page is mostly text, charts or crisp lines and you prefer maximum sharpness with no artefacts. For scanned documents, both work well; JPG will be lighter.

The reverse process: from images to PDF
If you need the opposite, combining several photos or scans into a single PDF, you can use our PDF tools to merge them. And if the resulting PDF is heavy, remember you can compress it afterwards.
