How to use this tool

  1. Drop a PDF file onto the upload area or click to browse.
  2. Choose PNG, JPEG, or WebP. Set image quality for JPEG or WebP.
  3. Set the DPI (default 150). Higher DPI = sharper but larger files.
  4. Select pages in the preview or enter a range, odd/even, first, or last page token.
  5. Click Convert to Images and cancel at any time while pages are rendering.
  6. Download a single image directly, save individual pages, or bundle pages in a ZIP.

How to convert a PDF to images

Drop your PDF file above, choose PNG, JPEG, or WebP, 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. You can cancel a long render and keep conversion to a chosen set of pages.

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 and remains widely accepted by older apps and upload forms. WebP can make photographs and other detailed pages smaller at a similar visual quality, though some older systems do not accept it. JPEG and WebP include a quality slider: lower values reduce file size and may show compression artifacts, while higher values preserve more detail. WebP appears only when the browser can encode it.

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. This tool supports 72–300 DPI. Higher DPI produces larger files and requires more memory, especially when you render many pages. The maximum is 300 DPI, so use the range and memory guidance below when working with long documents.

Converting specific pages

Use the page preview strip to include or exclude individual pages, or enter a selection in the page range field. It accepts individual pages and ranges such as 1, 3, 5-7, plus shortcuts such as odd, even, first 5, and last 3. Leave the field blank to convert all pages. Previews are limited to the first 50 pages to avoid using too much memory; ranges can still select pages later in a longer document.

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.

Each rendered page is placed on an opaque white canvas before export. This keeps pages readable in photo viewers and editors, including when the source PDF contains transparent areas. PNG preserves the rasterized page without lossy compression; JPEG and WebP can reduce file size using the selected quality level. Actual image size varies with page dimensions, content, and compression settings.

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.

What to do with exported images

After downloading, you can compress images for email or upload limits, convert their format for a specific app, resize them for a web page or presentation, or rotate and flip a page before sharing it.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser using pdf.js. Your file never leaves your device.

Which image formats are supported?

PNG is lossless and works well for text-heavy pages. JPEG and WebP use lossy compression and include a quality control for smaller files. WebP is available in browsers that support WebP image encoding.

What DPI should I use?

150 DPI is a good default for screen viewing. Use up to 300 DPI for high-quality printing. This tool supports 72–300 DPI; higher values create larger files and use more memory.

Can I convert only specific pages?

Yes. Select pages in the preview or enter ranges such as "1, 3, 5-7", "odd", "even", "first 5", or "last 3". Leave the field blank to convert all pages.

Why does the tool warn me about memory for large PDFs at high DPI?

Rendering many selected pages at 250–300 DPI requires significant memory. The warning helps prevent the browser from running out of memory. Consider processing fewer pages or using a lower DPI.

Can I stop a conversion?

Yes. Choose Cancel while pages are rendering. Any images completed before cancellation are discarded, and you can run a smaller page range.

Do transparent parts of a PDF stay transparent?

No. Pages are rendered onto a white background so the exported images look consistent in common viewers and editors.
