Frequently asked questions

Which image formats can I export to?

JPG and PNG are both supported — pick whichever suits your needs.

Can I control the image quality or resolution?

Yes, set the DPI for resolution and, for JPG, the compression quality.

Do I get one image per page?

Yes, every page of your PDF is exported as its own image file.

How do I download all the images at once?

Use 'Download all (.zip)' to get every page's image in a single archive.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No, every page is rendered to an image locally in your browser.

Will the text in the images still be searchable?

No. Rendering a page to an image turns its text into pixels, so nothing in the output can be searched, selected or read by a screen reader. If you need the words rather than a picture of them, use PDF to Text or PDF to Word instead.

Should I pick JPG or PNG?

JPG for scanned or photographic pages, where it is far more efficient. PNG for pages of text, diagrams or flat colour, where it keeps edges perfectly sharp and often produces smaller files anyway. If the images will be cropped, annotated or re-saved later, PNG avoids compounding losses.

What DPI do I need?

144 for normal on-screen use, 300 if it will be printed or zoomed into, 72-96 for thumbnails. Remember that doubling DPI quadruples both pixel count and file size, so pick for the destination rather than taking the highest available.

How do I get all the pages at once?

A document with more than one page is packaged as a ZIP automatically, with the images numbered in page order, so a single download gives you everything. Single-page documents download as a plain image.

Can I convert the images back into a PDF later?

You can, with Images to PDF, but the result will be a stack of pictures rather than a document — the text layer, vectors and structure are lost the moment the pages are rendered and cannot be recovered. Keep the original PDF if you might need it.

This is one of the few PDF conversions that is genuinely pixel-exact. Each page is rendered by the same engine your browser uses to display PDFs, at whatever resolution you ask for, and saved as a picture. Fonts, spacing, vector artwork, tables, background colours — everything appears exactly as it does on screen, because it is drawn the same way.

The trade-off is the one inherent to any image: what comes out has no text layer. The words are pixels, so nothing in the output can be searched, selected, copied or read aloud. That is the correct behaviour for a rendering tool, and it is why converting a PDF to images and back is a lossy round trip you should avoid unless the pictures are what you actually wanted.

Rendering happens in your browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, and the whole document is processed locally however many pages it has.

How to convert a PDF to images

Add the PDF
Drop it in or choose it from your device. Thumbnails of the pages appear once it loads so you can confirm you have the right file.
Choose JPG or PNG
JPG for anything photographic or scanned, PNG for pages that are mostly text, diagrams or flat colour. The difference matters more than people expect — see below.
Set the resolution
DPI controls how many pixels each page becomes. 144 is a sensible default for on-screen use; raise it for print or for anything that will be zoomed into, lower it for thumbnails or previews.
Convert and download
A single-page document downloads as one image. Multiple pages are packaged as a ZIP so you get them all in one action, with the files numbered in page order.

JPG or PNG

The quality setting applies only to JPG. PNG has no quality control because there is nothing to trade away — it stores exactly what was rendered.

JPG: Lossy, and very efficient on photographic content. It is the right choice for scanned documents and pages dominated by images. Its weakness is sharp, high-contrast edges: fine text and thin lines pick up visible halos, which is why a text page saved as a low-quality JPG looks subtly dirty. The quality slider controls this directly.
PNG: Lossless, so text edges stay perfectly crisp and flat colour areas stay flat. Files are considerably larger for photographic pages but often smaller for pages of plain text and line art. Choose PNG whenever the output will be read closely, cropped, annotated or re-encoded later.

Choosing a resolution

DPI here means dots per inch of the original page, so an A4 page at 144 DPI comes out around 1190×1684 pixels. Doubling the DPI quadruples the pixel count and roughly quadruples the file size, so it is worth choosing deliberately rather than reaching for the maximum.

72-96 DPI: Thumbnails, previews, and images that will be displayed small. Text is legible but not comfortable to read.
144 DPI: The default, and right for most uses — viewing on a normal screen, dropping into a slide deck, attaching to a message.
300 DPI: Print quality, and the point at which text looks genuinely sharp when zoomed. Files get large quickly; a colour A4 page at 300 DPI is several megabytes as PNG.
600 DPI and above: Only for archival scanning or when the output will be reprocessed. A long document at this resolution can exhaust a browser tab's memory.

This conversion is one-way

Rendering a page to an image discards its structure permanently. The text is no longer text, the vector logo is no longer vector, and the invisible OCR layer on a scanned document — if it had one — is gone. Feeding those images back into Images to PDF gives you a PDF that looks the same and behaves like a stack of photographs.

So if your actual goal is an editable or searchable document, this is the wrong tool. PDF to Word, PDF to Text and the other extraction converters read the text layer out instead, and Extract PDF images pulls out the embedded pictures at their original resolution rather than a rendering of the whole page.

The right reasons to render to images are the ones where a picture is genuinely what you need: putting a page into a presentation, posting a preview, sending something to a system that only accepts images, or producing a version that cannot be trivially copy-pasted.

Long documents and memory

Pages are rendered one at a time, but the finished images accumulate in the tab until you download them, and the ZIP is built in memory too. A 500-page document at 300 DPI is several gigabytes of pixels and will not survive a browser tab.

Lower the DPI first if a long document struggles — it is the setting with by far the largest effect. Failing that, use Split PDF to cut the document into sections and render each one separately.
