IT experts, advanced users and system administrators can make use of our command line JPEG converter 2JPEG. It lets you batch convert PDF and image files to JPG, quickly resize image files, place watermark on photos, change the quality of JPG files, create thumbnails and schedule file conversion at a specific time. If you often need to transform multiple XPS files to JPG with various parameters, 2JPEG may come in handy.
2JPEG allows to batch convert XPS to JPG format via the command line interface (CLI). 2JPEG can work offline and start conversion from the program code written in any common programming language: C++. C#, VB.NET, Pascal, VB Script or JavaScript. You can also set up file converting via 2JPEG from CMD and BAT script files.
You can set different parameters for your output JPEG files when converting XPS to JPG. Here are some of them:
By default, 2JPEG transforms XPS or PDF to JPG image files with resolution of 200 DPI. To change the output JPG file resolution, just use the Rasterize option. For example:

XPS files can be opened by XPS Viewer, which is installed by default in the latest versions of Windows including Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8 and 10. You can install the XPS Essentials Pack to open XPS files if you're still using Windows XP.
2JPEG works under 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. It supports Microsoft Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2012, 2016 and later versions.
The XPS format (*.XPS; OpenXPS *.OXPS) was created by Microsoft as an alternative to PDF. It is now much less popular than PDF, but some companies still use it, and the latest versions of Windows continue to include better support for XPS files than PDF files. This file format represents a document with fixed layout, keeping all the elements and the structure of the document intact. XPS format also supports features that you’d find in PDF format, such as digital signatures and digital rights management (DRM).
In addition to batch conversion via command line there's a few other ways to do it. You can do it automatically, offline or online, via desktop software, via a virtual printer, or even from your own software or script file. Learn about different ways to convert XPS to JPG in our blog!
