Introduction

Sometimes you donโ€™t need a full document โ€” just a visual. Whether itโ€™s to share a page on social media, use in a presentation, or save for printing, converting a PDF to an image format like JPG or PNG is incredibly useful.

With Forever PDF, you can convert any PDF file into high-quality images in seconds โ€” entirely online, for free, and without installing anything.

Why Convert a PDF to an Image?

There are several everyday scenarios where converting a PDF to an image makes sense:

  • ๐Ÿ“ฒ Share on social media โ€“ JPGs and PNGs are easier to post on Instagram, WhatsApp, or Twitter than PDF files.
  • ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Include in designs or presentations โ€“ Many graphic editors and slide tools accept image files, not PDFs.
  • ๐Ÿ’พ Save a specific page as a quick-reference image โ€“ Ideal for receipts, confirmations, or ID pages.
  • ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ Print as a photo โ€“ Printing images is simpler on many printers than printing PDFs.

Converting to image format allows for maximum flexibility.

JPG vs. PNG: Which Format Should You Use?

Both image formats work well for different use cases:

  • JPG (JPEG): Great for smaller file sizes and web use. Compressed but retains decent quality.
  • PNG: Best for high-resolution needs. Preserves transparency and detail but results in larger file size.

Forever PDF exports by default as high-quality JPG images.
