How to convert PDF to images
- Drop a PDF into the box above, or click it to choose one. Password-protected PDFs open once you enter the password.
- Choose the output format and resolution. 150 DPI is right for screens; use 300 DPI for printing.
- All pages start selected. Click a page to leave it out.
- Click Download selected. A single page is saved as an image; several pages come as one zip file.
Good to know
- 300 DPI is sharp but can be several MB per page. For sharing in a chat, 150 DPI is plenty.
- Text in the converted images cannot be selected or edited, because each page becomes a picture.
About the formats
PDF (Portable Document Format) looks the same on every device and printer, which is why it is the standard for documents, forms and scans. A PDF can hold text, vector graphics and images, and several pages in one file.
JPG
JPG (JPEG) is the most widely supported photo format. It uses lossy compression, so files stay small, but it has no transparency and quality drops a little every time it is re-saved.
PNG
PNG uses lossless compression and supports transparency. It is ideal for screenshots, logos and graphics with sharp edges, but photos saved as PNG are much larger than JPG.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I convert only some pages?
- Yes. Every page is shown as a preview when the PDF opens. Untick the pages you do not need before downloading.
- Which resolution should I use?
- 72 DPI is for small previews, 150 DPI for viewing on screen and sharing, and 300 DPI for printing or when small text must stay sharp.
- Should I choose JPG or PNG?
- JPG keeps files small and suits scans and pages with photos. PNG has no compression artifacts, so text and charts look sharper.
- Does it work with password-protected PDFs?
- Yes. Enter the password and the PDF opens. The password is only used on your device to open the file; it is never sent or stored anywhere.
- Are my files uploaded to a server?
- No. Everything happens inside your browser. Once the page has loaded, it keeps working even if you go offline.
- Is it free? Is there a page limit?
- It is completely free, with no sign-up and no watermark. There is no page limit; it can handle as much as your device’s memory allows.
- Does it work on my phone?
- Yes, in current versions of Chrome, Safari, Samsung Internet and other modern browsers. Very long documents or high resolutions may take a while on a phone.
