Are the images created on a server or in my browser?

In your browser. LittlePDF renders the pages with pdfjs locally and encodes the JPGs on your device, so the PDF is never uploaded. That makes it safe to turn a pay slip, a passport scan, or a confidential deck into images without it passing through a server.

Which resolution should I pick?

Higher resolution means sharper images and bigger files. A lower setting is fine for showing a page on screen, in an email, or on social media. Pick a higher one when the JPG needs to be printed or zoomed into, since detail that was not rendered cannot be recovered later.

Can I export only certain pages?

Yes. Instead of converting the whole document you can select specific pages or ranges and only those are rendered to JPG. This is the quick way to pull one chart or one signature page out of a long PDF as an image.

Why does my result download as a ZIP?

Because a JPG holds a single image. A one-page PDF gives you one JPG file directly. Any document with more than one page produces several images, so they are packaged into a ZIP named by page number rather than downloaded one at a time.

Will the JPG look exactly like the PDF page?

It will look like the page rendered at the resolution you chose. JPG is a raster, pixel-based format, so text becomes pixels rather than selectable characters. If you need the words back as text later, run the original PDF through the OCR tool instead of converting to images.

What are the size limit and the cost?

Free accounts handle PDFs up to 25 MB and get 500 credits a day; each conversion spends 1 credit. Pro ($6.99/mo, or $4.99/mo billed annually) lifts the file limit to 500 MB for long or image-heavy documents.

PDF to JPG conversion renders each page of a PDF as a raster image in JPEG format. A PDF page is a mix of text and vectors; a JPG is a flat grid of pixels, so the conversion captures how the page looks rather than its underlying text. The result is handy for sharing a page as an image, embedding it on a web page, or printing it on its own.

Pages are rendered with pdfjs in your browser, so the PDF is never uploaded to a server.

You choose the resolution, trading file size against sharpness depending on whether the image is for screen or print.

Features

Resolution Control

Render at a lower resolution for quick on-screen sharing or a higher one for print and zooming. The setting decides how much page detail ends up in each JPG.

Selective Page Export

Convert every page or pick specific pages and ranges. Only the pages you choose get rendered, so you can grab one figure or one form page without processing the rest.

Bundled ZIP Download

A single page downloads as one JPG. Multi-page documents are packaged into a ZIP, with each image named by its page number for easy sorting.
