Turn PDF pages into JPG or PNG images
Quick answer
Filly renders every page of a PDF as a PNG or JPEG at roughly 144 DPI. A single-page PDF comes back as one image; anything longer arrives as a .zip with one file per page, named in order.
When you’d use this
An upload form that only accepts images
Plenty of agency and employer portals accept JPG and PNG but reject PDFs outright. Converting the pages is the difference between submitting and phoning someone about it.
Putting a page into a slide or a message
An image drops into a presentation, a chat thread or an email body where a PDF attachment would have to be opened separately.
How to do it
- 1Open the PDF tools and choose PDF to images.
- 2Select the PDF and pick PNG or JPEG.
- 3Run it. One page downloads as a single image; more than one arrives as a .zip.
What it doesn’t do
Images are a picture of the page, so the text in them is no longer selectable or searchable — that is the point when you need an image, and a loss when you don't. Export is capped at 30 pages per file, and rendering is fixed at roughly 144 DPI rather than being configurable.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a PDF to JPG?
Open Filly's PDF tools, choose PDF to images, select the file and pick JPEG. Each page is rendered as an image; a single page downloads directly and a longer document arrives as a .zip with the pages named in order.
Should I choose PNG or JPEG?
PNG for text and forms — it stays crisp and has no compression artefacts around letters. JPEG for pages that are mostly photographs, where the file is considerably smaller. For a scanned document going into a portal, PNG is usually the safer pick.
Can I get the text back out of the images?
Not from the images themselves — converting to an image discards the text layer. If you need the text, use the PDF-to-text tool on the original PDF instead, or upload the document as a form, where OCR reads it.
The tools are the side of it
Filly is a form filler first: save a client’s details once and every form you upload afterwards fills itself from that profile. These PDF tools exist because the paperwork around a filing needs assembling before and after it’s filled.
