PDF to JPG at 300 DPI

How to Convert PDF to JPG

1

Add your PDF

Click “Select files” or drag a PDF in. Quality is already set to High, which renders every page at 300 DPI.

2

Leave the size target off

No size limit is applied here on purpose. A 300 DPI page is several megabytes, and capping the file size would undo the resolution.

3

Convert and download

Click “Convert to JPG”. Rendering at 300 DPI takes longer and uses more memory than the default, so give a long document a moment.

Every step runs in your browser. No server uploads, no waiting.

Why use this tool

This page converts PDF pages to JPG at 300 DPI, the resolution commercial printing expects. An A4 page comes out around 2480 by 3508 pixels, which is enough to print at full size without the edges of letters looking soft. Files are correspondingly large — several megabytes per page is normal here, not a problem to fix. Screen use does not need it: 150 DPI looks identical on a monitor and produces files a quarter of the size. This page sets the quality control to High and leaves the size target off, because capping the file size would undo the resolution you came for. If the result is too large to send, target a file size instead with PDF to JPG under 300KB. The PDF to JPG guide explains when resolution matters and when it does not.

When you'd use this

Print shop submissions

Posters, flyers and brochures sent to a commercial printer, where anything below 300 DPI shows soft edges on type.

Design file placement

Dropping a PDF page into Figma, Illustrator or InDesign as a raster layer without it going soft when scaled up.

Proof review

Checking a proof at full size, where 150 DPI blur is invisible on screen but obvious once it reaches paper.

Archival copies

Keeping a master copy at print resolution, rather than a screen-sized export you cannot reprint from later.

PDF to JPG — questions

What is the difference between 300 DPI and 300KB?

They are unrelated. DPI is how much detail the image holds; KB is how large the file is. A 300 DPI page is usually several megabytes, far above 300KB. If you need a small file, use the size-targeted page instead.

Can I go higher than 300 DPI?

The renderer caps any single page at 8192 pixels on its longest side, so on a standard page the practical ceiling is around 700 DPI. Above 300 DPI you rarely gain anything a printer can reproduce.

Why are the files so big?

Because there are four times as many pixels as a 150 DPI export. That is the point — the detail is what makes it printable.

Do I need 300 DPI for screen use?

No. On a monitor 150 DPI and 300 DPI look identical, and the 150 DPI file is about a quarter of the size. Use this page when the image is going onto paper.

Will 300 DPI improve a low-quality scan?

No. Rendering at a higher resolution cannot add detail the PDF does not contain. If the source was scanned at 100 DPI, a 300 DPI export is the same picture with larger pixels.
