Useful next steps
How PDF to JPG works
Choose a PDF, optionally list the pages you want, and Happytails.ai renders each selected page as a separate JPG image in your browser. The render scale controls the pixel size: at scale 1 each PDF point becomes one pixel, which is 72 pixels per inch, and the default 1.5 gives 108 pixels per inch. Scales must be above 0 and at most 4, and you can convert up to 100 pages per run. JPEG is lossy, so fine text can blur.
Before you start
Note which pages you need, written like 1,3-5, and pick a render scale that gives enough pixels for where the images will be used.
A worked example
A US Letter page (612 x 792 points) at the default scale of 1.5 becomes a 918 x 1188 pixel JPG named page-1.jpg; at scale 4 the same page is 2448 x 3168 pixels.
What to expect
Render PDF pages as JPEG images. Choose the pages and image render scale. JPEG is lossy, so inspect fine text and line art before using the images.
Common questions
How do I convert only certain pages?
Type page numbers and ranges separated by commas, such as 1,3-5. Leave the field blank to convert every page. Ranges must run from a lower to a higher number within the PDF's page count, and you can select at most 100 pages per run.
Which render scale should I use?
A higher scale produces more pixels and sharper text. Scale 1 is 72 pixels per inch, 2 is 144 and 4 is 288. Scale 2 or more is a good choice for readable text in documents, while lower scales give smaller files for previews.
Why is text in my JPG blurry?
JPEG compression is lossy and can soften small text and thin lines, and a low render scale gives few pixels to work with. Raise the render scale, or use the PDF to PNG tool for lossless images that keep text edges crisp.
Can I convert a password-protected PDF?
No. The PDF must open without a password, otherwise the tool reports that it could not be opened. Remove the protection with a tool or app you trust first, then convert the unlocked copy.
Why does a large page fail at a high scale?
Each rendered image must stay within 40 megapixels and 16,384 pixels per side. Oversized pages such as posters or drawings can pass that limit at a high scale. Lower the render scale until the page fits.
