PDF to Image
Save the pages of a PDF as pictures, to share one page on a phone, put it in a document or post it. Choose the pages, the format and the sharpness; it all happens in your browser.
How the pages are drawn
The page uses pdf.js, the open-source PDF reader made by Mozilla, running inside your browser. It is kept on this site and loaded the first time you choose a PDF, so the page itself stays light. Each page is drawn on a white background at the resolution you choose and saved as a picture; several pages come in one ZIP file, numbered in order.
PNG or JPG, and how sharp
PNG keeps text and lines perfectly sharp and is the right choice for documents, forms and screenshots. JPG makes much smaller files and suits pages that are mostly photos. 150 DPI is plenty to read on any screen and to send on a phone; choose 300 DPI to print. A page so large that the picture would be too big for the browser to hold, such as a poster at 300 DPI, is drawn smaller, and the page tells you.
Password-protected PDFs
If the PDF needs a password to open, as many bank statements do, the page asks for it. The password is used only to open the file in your browser and is never stored or sent anywhere. The pictures you save have no password, so keep them as carefully as the PDF.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert just one page?
Yes. Choose Some pages and type its number. One page comes as a single picture; several come together in a ZIP file.
Will the text in the picture be sharp?
At 150 DPI and above, yes, especially as PNG. At 72 DPI pictures are small and text can look soft when you zoom in.
Can I copy the text from the pictures?
No, a picture holds no text, only pixels. Keep the PDF if you need to search or copy its words.
Is there a limit?
Up to 300 pages at a time and PDFs up to 300 MB, since every picture is kept in your browser's memory until the ZIP file is made.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. On a phone, choose fewer pages or a lower DPI for a large PDF, as phones have less memory.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The PDF is read and drawn by pdf.js inside your own browser, and the pictures are saved straight to your device. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored - close the tab and it is gone.
