Deep dive
What is PDF to JPG?
Converting PDF to JPG turns each page of a PDF into a standalone JPG image, which is ideal for previews, thumbnails, or pasting into apps that don't accept PDFs.
FormatSwitch renders every page in your browser using PDF.js and encodes the result as a high-quality JPG. Files stay on your device and are downloaded together as a ZIP.
When to use it
- Post a preview of a PDF page to social media or a document.
- Attach a specific PDF page as an image in a chat or email.
- Create thumbnails of a multi-page document.
- Feed PDF pages into an image-editing app.
How to use it safely without uploading
Drop the PDF and press Convert. Each page is rendered to a JPG locally and packaged into a ZIP for one download.
Browser-based vs server-based conversion
Most online converters upload your files to their servers, process them there, and then let you download the result. That means your file exists on someone else's computer, often in logs and backups, sometimes indefinitely. FormatSwitch is different: every conversion runs on your device using WebAssembly and the browser's built-in Canvas and PDF engines. Your file never leaves your computer, so there is nothing to leak, nothing to subpoena, and nothing to trust us on — the code that does the work is running right in your tab.
FAQ
PDF to JPG — questions people ask
- Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
- No. Files are processed entirely in your browser using WebAssembly and the Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded to a server, and no copy is kept once you close or refresh the tab.
- What resolution are the JPGs?
- Pages render at roughly 150 DPI by default — sharp on screen and good for printing.
- Does the output add a watermark?
- Never. FormatSwitch adds no watermark, logo, or quality cap to your output — the file you download is only what your browser produced.
- Does it work on mobile?
- Yes. Every tool runs on modern iOS Safari and Android Chrome. Very large files may be slower on mobile because of tighter memory limits.
- Are my files stored on your servers?
- No. Files live only in your browser's memory (JavaScript heap). They disappear when you clear the queue, refresh, or close the tab. There is no server, no database, no log.
- Do the images keep the original filename?
- Yes. Each JPG is named after the source PDF plus a page number, so you can trace every image back to its origin.
