Convert PDF to JPEG
What is PDF?
PDF stores pages containing text, vector graphics, and embedded images. While PDFs can include images, they're not pure image files—they contain selectable text, fonts, and scalable vector elements. Converting to image formats means rasterizing each page into pixels, losing text selectability, vector scalability, and interactive features like hyperlinks or form fields.
- PDF contains structured text and layout data that renders to fixed visual output
- Page layout determines final image dimensions and aspect ratio
- Multi-page structure allows conversion of each page to separate images
What is JPEG?
JPEG
JPEG stores visual pixel data using DCT-based lossy compression. Documents store text with formatting. While you can embed JPEG images in documents, converting an image itself to a document format means wrapping the image—not converting pixels to text. Any text in the image requires OCR extraction.
- JPEG stores pixel-based images, ideal for photographs and graphics requiring document embedding
- Embeds easily in document formats without quality loss
- Rectangular image bounds integrate cleanly into document layouts
- Fixed resolution determines final document print quality
- DCT-based compression removes high-frequency visual data
