A simple step-by-step guide to convert pdf to jpg on Windows using PDFWix's free online tools.

How to Convert PDF to JPG on Windows

Convert PDF pages to JPG on Windows 10/11 with PDFWix in your browser — high-quality export at 72/150/300 DPI. Free, no install, no signup, no watermark.

Tip: pick the right page resolution

PDFWix's PDF-to-JPG export lets you pick a render resolution (96, 150, 300 or 600 dpi). 96dpi is fine for inline web use where the JPG will sit at 100% size in a blog post. 150dpi is the standard for office presentations. 300dpi is the print-shop default for anything that will be printed at full size. 600dpi only matters for archive-grade reproduction. Higher resolution produces sharper JPGs but also bigger files — a 300dpi A4 page lands at roughly 1–2MB per page.

How it works

  1. Open PDFWix PDF to JPG — Open Edge or Chrome on Windows and go to pdfwix.com/pdf-to-jpg.
  2. Add the PDF — Drag the PDF from File Explorer onto the dropzone, or click Select file.
  3. Choose format and quality — Pick JPG or PNG, quality (high recommended), and DPI (150 default; 300 for print).
  4. Convert — Click Convert to JPG — every page is rendered in your browser.
  5. Download — Multi-page PDFs download as a single zip; single-page PDFs download as one image.

Frequently asked questions

Does Windows 11 have a built-in PDF-to-JPG converter?

No. The closest native options are Snipping Tool (one page at a time, screen-resolution) or installing an image printer driver. Adobe Reader (free) doesn't export to image — that's a Pro feature. For free batch conversion with quality/DPI control, use PDF to JPG.

Can 7-Zip extract images from a PDF?

No. Despite forum claims, PDFs aren't archive files — image streams are filtered, compressed, and often re-encoded against a global colour space. Extracting raw bytes won't give you usable images. Use PDF to JPG which renders pages correctly.

What DPI should I pick?

150 DPI is a good default for screen viewing and most uses. Pick 300 DPI for print-quality output (and roughly 4× the file size). 72 DPI matches screen pixels and is fine for web previews.
