Why Convert PDF to Images?
PDF is great for printing and form-filling but bad for sharing on the web. Most social platforms (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook posts), CMSes, and chat apps don't render PDFs inline — they show a download link instead. Converting to PNG or JPG lets you embed pages directly as images.
Common scenarios: infographics from reports, research paper figures, contract pages for sharing snippets, presentation slide previews, and archived screenshots of older PDFs that won't open in modern viewers.
PNG vs JPG output
- PNG (lossless): sharp text, hard edges preserved. Best for PDFs with diagrams, screenshots, vector graphics. Larger file size.
- JPG (lossy): 60–80% smaller files. Best for photo-heavy PDFs (annual reports with photos, art portfolios). May show artifacts on text.
- Mixed PDF: if pages mix photos and text, default to PNG — JPG artifacts on text are very visible.
Scale (DPI) — when to use what
- 1× (~96 DPI): web thumbnails, list previews
- 2× (~192 DPI): general web display, social media — recommended default
- 3× (~288 DPI): retina/HiDPI displays, presentations, large monitors
- 4× (~384 DPI): print-quality output, archival
Higher scale = sharper images = larger files. 2× is the sweet spot for most uses.
How to Use
- Choose output format — PNG (sharp text, larger files) or JPG (smaller, photo-friendly).
- Set scale — 2× is the recommended default.
- Upload your PDF (drag & drop or click to browse).
- Click Convert — each page becomes a separate image.
- Download individual pages or use Download All for ZIP.
Privacy: Conversion runs entirely in your browser via PDF.js (Mozilla). No upload.
FAQ
What scale should I use?
1× for web thumbnails, 2× for general web/social use, 3-4× for retina displays or print. Higher scale produces larger files but sharper images.
Can I convert password-protected PDFs?
No — encrypted PDFs are not supported. Remove the password first using a desktop tool (Preview on Mac, qpdf on Linux/Windows), then convert.
How many pages can I convert?
No hard limit, but very long PDFs (1000+ pages) take significant memory. For huge documents, split first using the PDF Split tool.
Why is my output image blurry?
Either you used 1× scale, or the PDF itself contains low-resolution embedded images. Higher PDF scale doesn't fix already-blurry source images. For print-quality output, use 3-4× scale on PDFs with vector content.
Can I convert just specific pages?
Currently the tool converts all pages. To extract specific pages, use the PDF Split tool first to isolate them, then convert.
