PDF to Image Converter

Open a PDF, pick the pages you want from the previews or type a range such as 1-3, 5, and convert them to images at screen or print resolution. Password-protected PDFs open once you enter the password.

    Step by step with the PDF to Image Converter

    1. Add a PDF by dragging it in or choosing it.
    2. Wait for the page previews, and enter the password if the PDF asks for one.
    3. Tick the pages you want, or type a range such as 1-3, 5 and press Enter.
    4. Choose JPG, PNG or WebP and a resolution: 150 DPI for screens, 300 DPI for print.
    5. Select Convert pages, then download each page or all of them as a ZIP.

    A real example

    A 12-page A4 brochure, pages 1, 6-7, JPG at 150 DPI:

    brochure-page-1.jpg   1240 × 1754
brochure-page-6.jpg   1240 × 1754
brochure-page-7.jpg   1240 × 1754

    At 300 DPI the same pages come out at 2480 × 3508, the size print shops expect for A4.

    What happens to your image

    Pages are drawn by pdf.js, the open-source PDF engine built by Mozilla for Firefox, released under the Apache 2.0 licence. It is served from this site together with the page and is only downloaded when you open a PDF; it then runs in your browser, so the PDF never leaves your device. It is configured not to evaluate code found in PDF files, and not to run forms or scripts embedded in them.

    A PDF describes pages in points, 72 to the inch, so the resolution you choose is the scale: 150 DPI draws each point as about two pixels. Previews are drawn small, and only when they scroll into view, so a document of hundreds of pages opens quickly. Each selected page is then drawn at full resolution on a white background and saved in the format you chose. A page too large to hold in memory at that resolution is drawn at the largest size that fits, and the result says so.

    When the PDF to Image Converter helps

    • Posting one page of a brochure or a slide deck on social media.
    • Inserting a page of a PDF into a presentation or a document as a picture.
    • Getting a JPG of a certificate or a form for an upload that accepts only images.
    • Making page previews for a website.

    If the result is not what you expected

    This PDF is protected and asks for a password
    The file is encrypted with an open password. Enter it and select Unlock; it is used only by your browser to open the file. PDFs that restrict only printing or copying open without one.
    Some text looks slightly different from the original
    Fonts that are not embedded in the PDF are replaced with similar standard fonts, as in any PDF viewer. The layout is kept, but the letter shapes can differ a little.
    A very large page came out at a lower resolution
    At 300 DPI a poster-sized page would need more memory than a browser tab can use, so it is rendered at the highest resolution that fits, and the result says when that happened.

    Questions about the PDF to Image Converter

    Which resolution should I choose?

    72 DPI matches a page at 100 % on a basic screen, 150 DPI is sharp on modern screens and in documents, and 300 DPI is print quality. An A4 page at 300 DPI is about 2480 × 3508 pixels.

    Is the PDF uploaded to a server?

    No. The pages are rendered in your browser by pdf.js, Mozilla's open-source PDF engine, which this site serves alongside the page. The PDF itself never leaves your device.

    Can I convert only some pages?

    Yes. Untick the pages you do not want, or type a selection such as 1-3, 7, 10- and press Enter.

    Why are the JPG files smaller than the PNG files?

    JPG compresses photographs and scanned pages efficiently by discarding detail you are unlikely to notice. PNG is lossless, which keeps text perfectly crisp but makes larger files; choose it for pages that are mostly text and line drawings.
