PDF to Image Converter
Choose one PDF and render the pages you need as ordered JPG or PNG files in a ZIP. Enter page numbers or ranges, choose 72, 144, 200 or 300 DPI, and set JPEG quality or a transparent PNG background. Conversion happens in this browser. Text, links and vector shapes become pixels; the original PDF stays unchanged.
Everything is rendered in this browser. Nothing is uploaded.
PDF text, links and vector objects become pixels in the export. The original PDF remains unchanged.
PDF page size at different DPI
Examples for a US Letter page, 8.5 × 11 inches. A scan already stored at low resolution will not gain original detail when enlarged.
| DPI | Width × height in pixels | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 72 | 612 × 792 | Small screen preview |
| 144 | 1224 × 1584 | General screen export |
| 200 | 1700 × 2200 | Sharper page image |
| 300 | 2550 × 3300 | Print-sized raster export |
Common questions
- Can I convert only some PDF pages to JPG?
- Yes. Enter pages such as 1-3, 7 or 10-. The output names keep the original page numbers and the ZIP is ordered by page number.
- What DPI should I use?
- 72 DPI is suitable for screen previews, 144–200 DPI gives a sharper general image, and 300 DPI is useful for print-sized exports. Higher DPI creates larger images and uses more browser memory.
- Does the PDF leave my device?
- No. PDF.js reads the selected file in this browser, draws each selected page to a canvas and downloads a local ZIP. There is no upload endpoint.
- Will searchable text and links work in the JPG?
- No. JPG and PNG contain pixels, so searchable text, links and vector objects are not retained. Keep the original PDF when those features matter.
- How do I make a JPG from a PDF page under an upload limit?
- Choose JPG, select the pages and DPI, then convert and save the exported images from the ZIP. Open the JPG you need in Image Compressor and set its target size, such as 200 KB or 1 MB. Lower DPI makes fewer pixels before compression, while JPEG quality affects image detail. The requested file size may be unreachable, so check the exact bytes and readability of the final image.
- Can I export a PDF as a transparent PNG?
- Choose PNG and enable Transparent background. Areas where the PDF draws nothing stay transparent; text, shapes, images and any white page-sized rectangle remain visible. This is not background removal. Leave transparency off and choose Background for a solid color, or use JPG, which always has an opaque background.
- Is this page rendering or extraction of the original pictures?
- This renders a complete selected page, including its text and drawings, at the chosen resolution. To recover stored image objects without surrounding page content, use PDF Image Extractor. To keep only a rectangular part of a page image, export it here, extract the ZIP and open it in Image Cropper.
- Can I convert multiple PDFs or all pages into one long image?
- Open one PDF at a time. Its selected pages are converted together, but each page becomes a separate numbered image in a ZIP, even when you select just one page. There is no multi-file batch queue or single tall-image output.
- Can I convert at 600 or 1200 DPI without losing quality?
- The available resolutions are 72, 144, 200 and 300 DPI; 600 and 1200 are not supported. PNG avoids JPEG compression artifacts in the rendered pixels, but rendering still converts PDF text and vectors into a fixed pixel grid. Higher DPI cannot recover detail missing from a low-resolution scan. JPEG quality 100 is not a lossless guarantee.
- How do I convert a PDF on iPhone, Mac, Windows or Linux?
- Open this page in a current browser, choose a saved PDF, select the pages and convert. Save the ZIP, extract it with your device’s file manager and use the JPG or PNG files inside. There is no native app, installer or command-line interface. Large exports may exceed the memory available on your device.
- What document and output limits apply?
- One PDF up to 50 MiB (52,428,800 bytes), with at most 200 source pages. Each rendered page must stay at or below 40 million pixels. These are tool limits; browser memory can run out earlier while building a large ZIP. Split a larger document in PDF Merger first or lower the DPI. Password-protected and unreadable PDFs need a readable, unlocked copy.
- Can I turn the exported pictures back into a PDF?
- Extract the ZIP and open the numbered JPG or PNG files in Image to PDF. Review their order, paper size and margins before exporting. This creates a new image-based document; it does not restore original searchable text, links, vectors, signatures or exact page geometry. For JPG or PNG input that simply needs a PDF, start with Image to PDF directly.
The converter rasterizes the visible PDF pages at the selected DPI. Searchable text, links and vector objects do not survive image export; the original PDF remains unchanged.
