JPG, on the other hand, gives you very small file sizes and universally supported. ZeroUpload performs this conversion entirely inside your browser, so your PDF file is never uploaded to a server.

Expert guide: PDF to JPG

Turn PDF pages into images

Sometimes you don't need the whole PDF — you need a picture of a page to post, embed, or text to someone. Converting PDF to JPG renders each page as an image you can use anywhere.

ZeroUpload uses Mozilla's pdf.js to render your pages inside your browser, so even confidential documents (contracts, statements, IDs) never touch a server. Multi-page PDFs produce one image per page, ready to download.
