pdf to jpeg jpg online conversion free
If you’re a follower of my blog, you’ll know that I often need to convert a PDF file to some other format. I’ve showed you in the past how to extract data from a PDF file direct to Word but today my problem was that I wanted a well laid out pdf document to retain its look.
Unfortunately, the way it was created I couldn’t edit it to add my signature but I could do this in Word if I could get it there.
The solution was to convert it online using http://image.online-convert.com/convert-to-jpg. This easy to use site converts from 120 or more formats to JPG which is exactly what I wanted. It even allows you to upload a hefty file – up to 100 MB which means that it’s pretty damn big.
All you need do is to either enter a URL of the file to convert or click Browse and grab a file from your computer. You can set the quality settings – I selected Best Quality, and then optionally set the final image size, color and even apply some enhancements such as sharpening, anti-alias, despeckle and so on.
For a simple PDF to JPEG conversion, I left everything as it was and clicked Convert File. In less than a minute I had a zip file ready for download.
I could also have opted to have it emailed to me. You can, once you’ve downloaded your file, select to delete it or download it up to ten times within a 24-hour period. I opted to delete my file which is a nice option when a file may contain sensitive information,
If you visit the home page at http://image.online-convert.com you’ll have lots more options for converting to and from different formats.
This site is dead easy to use and it does the job – you simply can’t ask for more than that.
The quality was terrible when i used this method, clicking on best quality. It was an electronic magazine page, perfect and undistorted on the PDF, but after conversion you could barely read the text! I tried it with Photoshop and weirdly a load of grey and white checks came out behind the text. I’ll keep looking for a way….
@ Sue…in Photoshop the grey and quite checks means that the file is transparent. The type is laid over a transparent background, if you print the file it will print fine !!
You should also have a look at the PDF converter from Smallpdf. It also gives you a preview of all the images and let’s you choose if you want to extract all the images in the pdf or just convert the entire pages of the document. Have a look at: Smallpdf PDF to JPG tool
