How to convert a PDF to images

Drop your PDF file above, choose an output format (PNG or JPEG), set a DPI, and click Convert to Images. The tool uses pdf.js to render each page to a canvas entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server.

PNG vs JPEG

PNG is lossless and produces sharper text, making it the best choice for documents, presentations, and anything with fine details. JPEG uses lossy compression, which creates smaller files at the cost of slight quality reduction, suitable for photographs and images where perfect sharpness is less critical.

Choosing the right DPI

DPI (dots per inch) controls the output resolution. 150 DPI is a balanced default for screen viewing and general use. Use 300 DPI for high-quality printing or archival purposes. Note that higher DPI produces larger files and requires more memory, especially for multi-page PDFs.

Converting specific pages

Use the page range field to convert only the pages you need. The syntax supports individual pages and ranges: for example, 1, 3, 5-7 converts pages 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7. Leave the field blank to convert all pages.

Downloading all images as a ZIP

After conversion, click Download ZIP to get all images bundled in a single archive. You can also download any individual image using the per-thumbnail download button.

Use cases for PDF-to-image conversion

  • Embedding in presentations: paste a PDF slide or figure directly into PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides as a high-resolution image.
  • Social media sharing: convert a single-page infographic or flyer PDF to a JPEG or PNG for upload to Instagram, LinkedIn, or X.
  • Viewing PDFs in systems that don't support them: some CMS platforms, ticketing tools, and legacy databases only accept images. Convert the PDF and upload the resulting PNG or JPEG.
  • Flattening forms and annotations: converting a PDF to images and back removes all interactive elements (form fields, comments, JavaScript), producing a static read-only document.
