Save pages as PNG or JPEG, at the resolution you need.
About converting to images
Pick the pages you want, choose a resolution, and each one downloads as its own image. 72 dpi matches the PDF's own coordinate system and suits the screen. 150 is a good default for slides and documents. 300 is print resolution and produces large files.
PNG is lossless and right for text, line art and charts. JPEG is smaller and better for photographs or scans, at the cost of some compression artefacts around sharp edges.
Pages are rendered by MuPDF inside this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, and a rotated page is rendered the way you turned it.
PDF to image: common questions
- Which resolution should I choose?
- 150 dpi suits most documents and slides. 72 dpi matches the PDF’s own coordinate system and is right for the screen. 300 dpi is print resolution and produces much larger files. An A4 page comes out around 1240 by 1755 pixels at 150 dpi and 2480 by 3509 at 300.
- Should I pick PNG or JPEG?
- PNG is lossless, so it is the right choice for text, line art, charts and anything with sharp edges. JPEG makes smaller files and suits photographs and scans, at the cost of some compression artefacts around crisp type.
- Will the images have a transparent background?
- No, the background is rendered white. A transparent background reads as black in most image viewers and in slide software, which is almost never what you want from a page of a document.
- Can I convert only some of the pages?
- Yes. Click the pages you want so they are marked and only those are rendered. Each page downloads as its own numbered image file.
- Does converting a PDF to images upload it?
- No. The pages are rasterised by MuPDF inside the browser tab, so the document never leaves your computer. A page you have turned is rendered the way you turned it.
