How to Save a PDF as a JPG on Windows

Windows 10 and 11 do not include a built-in 'Export PDF to JPG' feature in Microsoft Edge; while Snipping Tool (Win+Shift+S) captures screen-resolution clips, the embedded PDF to JPG converter below renders every page at up to 300 DPI.

Where the Built-In Windows Method Falls Short

  • Snipping Tool only captures your monitor's pixel resolution (often 96 DPI), making small contract text blurry compared to a true 300 DPI PDF render.
  • You have to manually scroll, snip, and save each page one by one.
