How to convert a PDF to JPG or PNG
Need a chat-friendly picture of a page, or the original photos sitting inside a PDF? ChargeBite renders at print DPI or extracts images as-is, then deletes the upload.

Render vs extract
Render pages snapshots everything you see — text, vectors, and pictures — at 150, 300, or 600 DPI. That is what people mean by “PDF to JPG.”Extract images copies embedded JPEGs without another generation of compression. Use extract when the PDF is a container for photos.
Step-by-step
- Open PDF to JPG.
- Upload a PDF (typically up to 50 MB).
- Pick JPG or PNG, a DPI if you are rendering, then convert.
- Download one image or a ZIP of pages. The original is deleted.
Going the other way
Combine photos back into a PDF with Images to PDF — JPEG and PNG are embedded without re-encoding.
FAQ
Is 300 DPI enough?
Yes for almost every share and print job. Use 600 DPI only when you will crop a small region later.
PDF to PNG or JPG?
JPG for photos and slides. PNG when the page is mostly text or you need lossless pixels.
