PDF to images

Turn the pages into pictures so a PDF can go somewhere that only accepts images. A higher setting gives sharper text and much larger files, so choose based on where the pictures are actually going.

How to use it

1 Add the PDF.
2 Choose PNG for the sharpest text or JPG for smaller files.
3 Choose how sharp they should be. The lower setting suits screens, the higher one suits print.
4 Render and download the images as a ZIP.

Questions about pdf to images

What resolution should I use?

150 dots per inch produces roughly 1240 by 1754 pixels for an A4 page, which is comfortable on screen. 300 dpi doubles each dimension and quadruples the file size, and is worth it only for print or character recognition.

PNG or JPG?

PNG for pages that are mostly text and line art, because it keeps edges exact. JPG for pages dominated by photographs, where it is much smaller and the artefacts do not show.

Will the text still be selectable?

No. Rendering to an image turns text into pixels, so it can no longer be selected, searched or copied. Keep the PDF if you need those.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The whole thing runs inside the browser tab you already have open. Your file is read straight from your own disk, worked on there, and handed back as a download. Nothing is sent anywhere, nothing is stored, and there is no account and no queue.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no server-side limit because there is no server. The practical ceiling is your device memory, since the file and its output both have to fit in the tab. Files up to a few hundred megabytes are usually fine on a desktop machine, while phones and older laptops will struggle sooner. If a large file fails, close other tabs and try again.

Does it work offline?

Yes, once the page has loaded once. The engine is cached by the browser, so you can turn off your connection, reload the page and keep working. That is a useful side effect of doing the processing locally rather than a separate offline mode you have to enable.
