How to Save PDF to JPG on Windows by Taking a Screenshot

Users can also save PDF documents as JPG/JPEG files using the built-in Snip & Sketch and Snipping Tool apps. The latter is also present in older versions like Windows 7 and Windows 8.

These apps are ideal for PDFs with one or two pages but less efficient for large documents.

Since the steps for taking screenshots differ slightly between these two apps, we will provide detailed instructions for each to help you save a PDF page as a JPG/JPEG file.

Select the PDF document you want to convert and open it with a browser like Google Chrome.

Once the PDF is open, hit the Fit to Page icon to adjust the dimension to ensure the whole page will show in the browser.

Then tap “Windows+Shift+S” on your keyboard simultaneously to take a screenshot of the PDF page. The screenshot will automatically show up in the lower right corner, click on it to mark up or share the image.

Step 3. Save the PDF Page as a JPG Image

In the popup Snip & Sketch window, you can highlight images and lines in the PDF if necessary.

Click the Save As icon, Save as type in JPG, rename the file in the saving window, and then hit Save to remake the PDF page to a JPG file.

Using Snipping Tool to Take a Screenshot

Similar to the Snip & Sketch app, Windows users can also use the Snipping Tool to take a screenshot to save a PDF page as a JPEG file.

Step 1. Open a PDF with a browser, Google Chrome for example

Step 2. Capture a Screenshot

Type “snipping tool” in the search field on your Windows toolbar and open the tool. Click New to take a screenshot of the page.

Step 3. Save the Image in JPEG Format
