How to use it
Add the PDF
Drop it in or choose it. Every page is rendered inside this tab.
Choose the pages
Leave Pages blank to convert the whole document, or list the ones you need as single pages and ranges, such as 1-5, 8.
Set resolution and format
150 dpi suits general use and 300 dpi is for print. JPG gives smaller files, PNG keeps text sharper.
Download the images
One page downloads on its own, several come back as a ZIP.
How pages are rendered
Each page is drawn inside your browser at a scale derived from your chosen resolution, then encoded as JPG or PNG.
PDF pages are measured in points, at 72 per inch. Requesting 150 dpi therefore renders at a scale factor of 150 ÷ 72 = 2.083. A US Letter page (612 × 792 points) becomes 1275 × 1650 pixels.
Rendering happens off to one side of the page, so a long document does not freeze the tab while it processes.
Resolution and output size
| Resolution | US Letter page | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| 72 dpi | 612 × 792 | Thumbnails, contact sheets |
| 96 dpi | 816 × 1056 | Screen viewing |
| 150 dpi | 1275 × 1650 | General use, readable print |
| 300 dpi | 2550 × 3300 | Print production, archival |
Pixel count grows with the square of the resolution. Doubling from 150 to 300 dpi quadruples the pixels and roughly quadruples the memory needed per page.
Where this gets used
- Social media and presentations. Platforms that accept images but not PDFs.
- Website content. Publishing a page from a report inline without an embedded viewer.
- Email previews. A thumbnail so recipients see the content without opening an attachment.
- Forms. Portals that require a photograph or image of a document rather than the document itself.
- Contact sheets. Rendering every page at 72 dpi to review a long document at a glance.
The white background
PDF pages are transparent by default. The white you see in a reader is the reader’s background, not part of the page. Rendering to an image without accounting for this produces black pages when saved as JPG, which has no alpha channel.
This tool fills white before drawing every page, so what you get matches what you see on screen.
What is lost
Converting to images is a one-way operation. The result is a picture of the page, and:
- Text is no longer selectable or searchable
- Screen readers cannot read it
- Links, bookmarks and form fields stop working
- Vector graphics become fixed-resolution and will pixelate when enlarged
If you need to keep the document as a document while making it smaller, use the PDF compressor instead. If you need specific pages as a PDF, use the PDF splitter.
Batch downloads
Converting more than one page produces a ZIP, assembled in your browser. Files are named with zero-padded page numbers such as report-001.jpg and report-002.jpg, so they sort correctly in any file manager.
No compression is applied to the ZIP. JPG and PNG are already compressed, so deflating them again would cost processing time for a negligible saving.
Common questions
What resolution should I choose?
150 dpi suits most purposes and keeps text legible. 300 dpi matches print standard and produces large files. 96 dpi is right for on-screen previews and thumbnails. A US Letter page at 300 dpi is 2550×3300 pixels, roughly 8 megapixels per page, which is why long documents at that setting can exhaust a phone's memory.
Does this extract the images embedded in the PDF?
No. It renders each complete page as it appears, including text, vector graphics and background. If you need the original embedded photographs at their native resolution, that requires a different operation and desktop software such as pdfimages.
JPG or PNG?
JPG for pages that are mostly photographic, and for smaller files. PNG for pages with text, diagrams or line art, where JPEG's block compression produces visible fringing around sharp edges. PNG files will be several times larger.
Why did my long document fail to convert?
Each page is rendered into memory as a full bitmap before being encoded. At 300 dpi that is around 8 megapixels per page, and a browser tab has a finite memory allowance. Convert a page range at a time, or drop to 150 or 96 dpi.
