Convert PDF to JPG
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 JPG?
JPG
JPG is a raster image format storing pixel color values using lossy DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) compression. Documents store text as character data (Unicode strings) with formatting instructions and layout metadata. While documents can embed JPG images, the image itself contains no text—extracting text from JPG requires OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software, which is content analysis, not format conversion.
- JPG 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
