how to convert the first page of a pdf to jpg

  1. drop your pdf on the box above, or click it to choose a file.
  2. pick a resolution: 72 for screens, 150 for sharing, 300 for printing. set the jpg quality if you want smaller files.
  3. leave pages blank to convert all of them, or open the page picker and tap the pages you want.
  4. press convert. one page downloads as a jpg, several pages as a zip.

page 1 is chosen for you and the page picker is open, so you can deselect it and tap another page. a single page always downloads as a plain jpg named after your file, like report-page-1.jpg, with no zip to unpack.

150 dpi gives a cover of about 1240 by 1754 pixels for a4, good for a blog post, a product listing or a link preview. for a small thumbnail, drop the dpi to 72 first. a smaller image loads faster and is just as clear at thumbnail size.
