Converting PDF to images
Sometimes a PDF has to become a picture: a page for a presentation, a flyer to post on social media, a certificate for a web form that only takes images or a preview for a website. Choose the PDF, pick JPG or PNG and a resolution, and save all pages or only the ones you need. The pages are drawn in your browser and the file is never uploaded.
How to convert PDF to images
-
1
Choose the PDF
Click Choose PDF or drag the file onto the page. The tool shows its name, number of pages and size.

2
Pick format and resolution
JPG gives smaller files for photos and scans, PNG keeps text and lines sharp. 150 DPI suits most uses, 300 DPI is for printing and fine detail.

Choose the pages
Keep All pages, or switch to Selected pages and type page numbers and ranges such as 1, 3-5.

Download the images
Every image is checked for the expected dimensions. One page downloads as a single image, several pages arrive together in a ZIP archive.
Image sizes at each resolution
The resolution decides how many pixels each image has. An A4 page becomes about 794 × 1123 px at 96 DPI, 1240 × 1754 px at 150 DPI and 2480 × 3508 px at 300 DPI. A US Letter page at 300 DPI is 2550 × 3300 px. Pages larger than 16 million pixels, such as A3 at 300 DPI, cannot be saved at that resolution, so choose 150 DPI for big formats.
JPG or PNG for your pages
JPG is the practical choice for photos, colour scans and pages you want to share in a chat or by email, because the files stay small. PNG stores the image without compression artefacts, which keeps small print, tables and thin lines crisp, but a page full of photos can take several times more space.
Both formats are drawn on a white background, so the images have no transparent areas. If you already know which format you want, the PDF to JPG and PDF to PNG pages open with it already chosen and ask only for the resolution and the pages.
What a page image keeps and what it loses
The image looks exactly like the page on screen, with text, graphics and background in place. Text, links and form fields become plain pixels, though, and can no longer be selected, clicked or filled in. To keep some pages as a real PDF instead, use Extract PDF pages.
A higher resolution draws text and vector graphics more sharply, but it cannot add detail to a photo or scan that is blurry in the PDF. A password-protected file has to be opened with Unlock PDF first. For long documents at 300 DPI, export only the pages you need to keep the ZIP small.
Privacy
All processing takes place in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to a server, and no data remains after you close the page.
