Short answer
A PDF can be converted to images directly in a web browser. Each page is rendered at a chosen resolution — 72, 144 or 300 dpi — and saved as a JPG or PNG, with one image per page. A single page comes back as the image itself and several come back as a ZIP. The rendering runs locally, so the document is never uploaded.

Turning a page into a picture is the one thing on this site that genuinely throws information away, and it is worth knowing why you are doing it. An image cannot be searched, its text cannot be selected or copied, a screen reader cannot read it, and it will not reflow on a phone. What it can do is open anywhere, paste into a slide or a chat window, and look exactly the same to everyone — which is often precisely the point.
Resolution is the decision that matters. 144 dpi is twice the PDF's own 72 and is where text stops looking soft on a normal screen; 300 dpi is what a printer wants and produces files several times larger. Very large pages are rendered slightly below the requested resolution rather than failing, because browsers cap how big a canvas can be.
How to use it
- 1
Add the PDF
Drop the document onto the box, or click to choose it.
- 2
Pick a format and resolution
JPG is smaller; PNG keeps text edges sharper. 144 dpi suits the screen, 300 dpi suits printing.
- 3
Choose the pages
Leave the box empty to convert the whole document, or name a range — 1-3, 7.
- 4
Download
One page downloads as an image. Several arrive as a ZIP, with the pages numbered in reading order.
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose JPG or PNG?
JPG for anything with photographs or scans, where the files come out several times smaller. PNG for pages that are mostly text, diagrams or screenshots — it is lossless, so thin strokes and small type stay crisp instead of picking up the soft halo JPEG leaves around hard edges.
Why do I get a ZIP file?
Because one page becomes one image, and a browser can only hand back a single download. A one-page selection is given to you as the image itself; anything longer is packed into a ZIP, with the pages numbered so they stay in reading order.
Can the text still be selected afterwards?
No. An image is pixels, so the text layer, the links and the ability to search or copy are all gone. That is inherent to converting a document into pictures, not a limitation of this tool — keep the original PDF if you need any of it.
Which resolution should I use?
144 dpi for reading on a screen, which is the default. 300 dpi if the images will be printed or you need to zoom into fine print. 72 dpi only for thumbnails — it is the PDF's own internal scale and looks soft on any modern display.
How many pages can be converted at once?
Up to 200 in a single run. Every rendered page is held in memory until the ZIP is built, so a longer document is refused rather than crashing the tab — convert it in batches by naming a range like 1-100, then 101-200.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The renderer runs inside your browser, and it is served from this site rather than from a third-party CDN, so nothing about the document is transmitted anywhere.
