Are the converted images sent to a server?
No. Conversion uses your browser's Canvas API and PDF.js, both of which run locally on your device. Nothing is uploaded, and the converted images never leave your browser.

About This Tool
PDF to Images converts every page of your PDF into a separate image file. Choose JPG for the smallest file size, PNG for lossless transparency support, or WebP for the best balance of quality and size. Set the resolution in DPI to match your use case, preview all pages, then download the full set as a ZIP or save individual pages.
Everything runs in your browser using PDF.js from Mozilla and the browser's built-in Canvas API. Your PDF is never uploaded to any server. The conversion happens on your own device, making this safe for confidential documents.
DPI (dots per inch) controls the output resolution. 72 DPI is optimized for web and screen display — fast and compact. 150 DPI is suitable for presentations, social media, and standard printing. 300 DPI produces print-quality output suitable for professional printing, archiving, or high-resolution digital display.
The JPG quality slider (available for JPG and WebP) lets you fine-tune the compression. A setting of 92% (the default) is virtually indistinguishable from 100% at a fraction of the file size. Reduce to 75–80% for social media or web use where smaller files are more important than perfect quality.
Each page renders as a thumbnail you can inspect before downloading. Hovering over a thumbnail reveals a download icon — click it to save that single page without downloading the rest. This is useful when you only need a specific page from a long document.
How To Use
- 1. Drop your PDF onto the upload area, or tap Choose PDF to browse your files.
- 2. Wait for the page thumbnails to render. A progress bar tracks rendering for each page.
- 3. Select your output format: JPG (smallest file size), PNG (lossless, supports transparency), or WebP (modern format, excellent compression).
- 4. Choose a DPI setting: 72 DPI for screen use, 150 DPI for presentations and standard printing, or 300 DPI for professional print quality.
- 5. For JPG or WebP, adjust the quality slider if needed. 92% is the recommended default.
- 6. Hover over any thumbnail and click the download icon to save just that one page.
- 7. Click Download all as ZIP to convert all pages at the selected DPI and quality and download them bundled in a ZIP file.
Which DPI Should I Choose?
DPI directly controls both the output image size (in pixels) and the resulting file size. Choose based on your intended use.
- 72 DPI — Screen & Web — Fastest conversion, smallest files.
Output resolution matches typical screen pixel density. Ideal for embedding PDF content in websites, emails, or messaging apps. - 150 DPI — Presentations & Standard Print — Good balance of quality and file size.
Suitable for PowerPoint slides, Google Slides, standard A4 printing, and most social media platforms. Text remains sharp and legible. - 300 DPI — Professional Print Quality — Largest files, maximum sharpness.
Matches the resolution requirement for professional printing services, publication layouts, and archival-quality digital storage. A 300 DPI A4 page produces an image of approximately 2480×3508 pixels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between JPG, PNG, and WebP output?
JPG (JPEG) is the smallest format and is best for PDFs with photographs or complex images. It uses lossy compression, which means very high quality settings produce no visible difference. PNG is lossless and supports transparency — ideal for PDFs with diagrams, logos, or areas that need a transparent background. WebP is a modern format that produces smaller files than JPG at equivalent quality and is supported by all modern browsers.
Can I convert just one page instead of all pages?
Yes. Hover over any page thumbnail and click the download icon that appears to download just that single page at your selected DPI and quality setting. You do not need to download the full ZIP to get one page.
What DPI is needed for professional printing?
Most professional print services require 300 DPI at the final print size. Select the 300 DPI option and the output image will be at print-ready resolution. For a standard A4 page (210 × 297 mm), 300 DPI produces a 2480 × 3508 pixel image.
How do I convert a PDF to an image for use in PowerPoint or Google Slides?
Select 150 DPI (sharp enough for presentations without being overly large) and JPG or WebP format. Download the ZIP, extract the images, and insert them into your slide deck. Each slide-sized PDF page will become one image.
Can I convert a scanned PDF to images?
Yes. Scanned PDFs are fully supported. The pages are rendered via PDF.js, which handles both native text PDFs and scanned image PDFs identically.
Why is the 300 DPI conversion slow?
Higher DPI means higher pixel counts — a 300 DPI A4 page contains roughly 8.7 million pixels per page. Canvas rendering at that resolution is CPU-intensive. A 10-page PDF at 300 DPI typically takes 15–30 seconds on a modern laptop.
Is the output quality affected by the original PDF quality?
Yes. If the original PDF contains low-resolution images, those images will appear blurry at high DPI settings — increasing DPI does not add detail that wasn't in the source. For PDFs created from native vector text and graphics (not scans), any DPI setting will produce sharp output.
Can I use the converted images commercially?
The conversion tool adds no restrictions. Commercial use depends on the copyright and licensing terms of the original PDF content — those terms are unchanged by the conversion.
How do I convert PDF to image on my phone without an app?
Open this page in your phone's browser (Chrome on Android, Safari on iOS). Tap Choose PDF, select your file, choose your format and DPI, then tap Download all as ZIP. No app installation required.
