Why convert a PDF to images?
PDFs are great for printing and archiving, but not always for quick sharing. You can't post a PDF page straight to a WhatsApp status or an Instagram post, and it's awkward to drop into a slide deck or web page. Converting PDF to images solves that: every page becomes a standalone JPG, PNG or WebP you can use anywhere.
How to use it
- Choose or drop a PDF; its page count appears.
- Pick an image format: JPG for the smallest size, PNG for the sharpest text and graphics, WebP for the web.
- Set the resolution: “High” (144 DPI) suits screens, “Print” (288 DPI) when you need to enlarge or print.
- Leave the pages field empty to convert the whole file, or type something like
1-3, 5. - Click “Convert to images”, then click any image to download it — or grab everything as a ZIP.
Which format should I choose?
| Format | Size | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| JPG | Small | Pages with photos, sharing through messaging apps. |
| PNG | Large | Text pages, tables and diagrams where crisp lettering matters. |
| WebP | Smallest | Modern web pages with excellent quality. |
Resolution and image size
Output dimensions depend on page size and resolution. An A4 page at 72 DPI is about 595 px wide, at 144 DPI about 1,190 px, and at 288 DPI about 2,380 px. Higher resolution means sharper images, larger files and longer conversion time.
Privacy
Pages are rendered with Mozilla's open-source PDF.js inside your browser, so your file is never uploaded. That matters especially for bank statements, contracts and personal documents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert just one page?
Yes. Type the page number (for example 4) in the pages field; only that page is converted and downloaded automatically.
What resolution is best for social media?
High (144 DPI) in JPG gives a clear image at a share-friendly size.
Is the text still selectable in the image?
No — the image is a visual copy of the page. Copy text from the original PDF if you need it.
Why are PNG files so large?
PNG is lossless and preserves every pixel. It is perfect for text but bigger than JPG.
Does it work with password-protected PDFs?
Files encrypted with an open password cannot be opened. Remove the protection first.
