Why convert PDF to JPG?

PDFs are great for documents, but they’re not always easy to preview or share quickly on social media, chat apps, or websites. Converting a PDF page to JPG turns it into a simple image that works almost anywhere.

Common reasons to use a PDF → JPG converter:

Create a thumbnail or cover image for a PDF download link.
Share a PDF page as a picture in chat, SMS, or social posts.
Embed a static preview of a report, flyer, or e-book on a website.
Generate quick screenshots of forms, invoices, or receipts.

GhostConvert focuses on the first page so you get a clean cover image without extra steps.

How PDF → JPG conversion works

You upload a PDF file from your computer or phone.
The first page of the PDF is rendered as an image.
That page is exported and encoded as a JPG file.
You download a standard JPG that works in browsers, image editors, and phones.

The original PDF stays as-is; only the preview image is created for you to download.

Best uses for PDF to JPG

Cover images for downloadable PDFs on landing pages.
Preview tiles in galleries or document libraries.
Social posts that tease a full document with a visual.
Converting flyers, posters, and invitations into shareable images.

Tips for a clear JPG preview

Start from a high-resolution PDF for sharper text and graphics.
Use large fonts and bold headings on the first page so the thumbnail is readable.
Avoid clutter near the edges — thumbnails often appear small.

Frequently asked questions

Does this convert every page of the PDF?

This tool focuses on the first page, which is usually the cover or main preview. That makes it ideal for thumbnails and quick previews without large downloads.

Can I use the JPG on my website?

Yes. JPG is widely supported across browsers and devices. You can use it as a hero image, thumbnail, or inline graphic in blog posts and documentation.

What happens to my PDF after upload?

Files are stored only long enough to generate your JPG and keep the download available briefly. After a short period, they’re automatically deleted as described in the Privacy Policy.
