PDF to JPG: DPI, Quality, and When Slides Beat Attachments
Export PDF pages to images for decks, LMS uploads, and email when a PDF attachment is not the right format.
Slides and social tools often want raster images. Exporting PDF pages to JPG gives you one file per page, predictable for zipping and uploading in batch.
Higher DPI increases sharpness and file size. Screen-oriented work often lands near 150 DPI; print-oriented exports may use 300 DPI when the source artwork supports it.
JPEG quality trade-offs
Photos and gradients tolerate more compression; text-heavy slides may show artifacts at very low quality settings. Spot-check page 1 at full zoom before batching hundreds of pages.
If you need transparency, PNG or TIFF exports may be better—JPG does not support alpha channels.
Workflow tip
If you only need a subset of pages, split or extract first so you are not converting sections you will discard.
