Turn PDF pages into pictures
Chat apps, slide decks, web editors and online forms often take a picture but refuse a PDF. This page draws the pages of your PDF as PNG, JPG or WebP images at the resolution you choose. One page gives one image, several pages give a ZIP file. The drawing happens in your browser, so the PDF never leaves your device.
Convert a PDF to images in five steps
- Drop the PDF onto the drop zone or click it to choose the file. On first use the page renderer loads, about half a megabyte.
- Type the pages you want, for example
1-3, 7, or leave the field empty to convert every page. - Choose the format and the resolution. 150 dpi reads well on screen, 300 dpi is for printing.
- Press Convert to images. A progress line names the page being drawn, and Cancel stops the run.
- Download the image, or the ZIP when you converted several pages.
Choosing format and resolution
Text and line art stay sharpest as PNG, which is lossless but makes larger files. JPEG suits photos and scans and is several times smaller. WebP is smaller still, but not every browser can save it; in that case the tool saves PNG and says so. An A4 page has about 1240 × 1754 pixels at 150 dpi and 2480 × 3508 at 300 dpi, and doubling the resolution quadruples the pixel count.
What gets drawn
Pages are drawn the way a viewer shows them, on a white background: text, images, vector graphics and annotations that carry their own appearance. Form fields are not interactive, and scripts inside the PDF do not run. When a page would need more than 16 megapixels, which is the limit of some phone browsers, it is drawn smaller, and the result tells you how many pages that touched.
Limits and privacy
A PDF may have up to 100 MB, a run covers up to 200 pages, and the images may add up to 400 MB. An encrypted PDF asks for its password, which is used only in memory. The renderer is pdf.js, served from this site, and no request carries the content of your document.
