How does this tool work?
PDF to images turns the pages you choose from a PDF into PNG files, one image per page. It helps when you need to insert a page into a presentation or a document that does not accept PDF, post a preview on a website or social network, or share a single page with someone who has no PDF reader. Pages are rendered in your browser, without uploading the document.
After import, all pages appear as thumbnails and are selected by default. Deselect the ones you do not need, or use Clear selection and then pick the pages you want.
Each selected page is drawn by the PDF.js engine at a scale of 1.5, about 108 dots per inch: an A4 page gives an image of 893 × 1,263 pixels. PNG keeps text sharp and flat colours free of compression artefacts. The files are downloaded one after another as page-1.png, page-2.png…, numbered after the page’s number in the document.
The image is a snapshot of the page: its text is no longer selectable and links are no longer clickable. To get the photos contained in the PDF without the rest of the page, use Extract images from PDF instead.
How to use this tool
Import the PDF
Thumbnails appear with every page selected.
Choose the pages
Click a thumbnail to remove it from or add it to the selection; the counter shows how many images will be created.
Convert and download
One PNG image is downloaded for each chosen page. Allow multiple downloads if your browser asks.
Use cases
Publish a preview
Share the cover of a white paper or a menu on a website or social network.
Send a page in a chat
Share a readable page directly in a conversation, without a PDF attachment.
Examples
An A4 page
At a scale of 1.5, each PDF point becomes 1.5 pixels: 595.28 × 1.5 ≈ 893 and 841.89 × 1.5 ≈ 1,263. A Letter page would give 918 × 1,188 pixels.
Input
Page 1 of an A4 document (595.28 × 841.89 points)Result
page-1.png, 893 × 1,263 pixelsTips and best practices
- For full-screen display or printing, about 108 dpi can look a little soft: share the PDF itself in that case.
- Select only the pages you need: a long document would produce just as many files to sort.
- If the browser only saves the first image, allow multiple downloads for this site.
Frequently asked questions
Which image format is produced?
PNG, a lossless format that keeps text and lines sharp. For JPEG or WebP, convert the images afterwards with a tool from the Images category.
What resolution are the images?
About 108 dpi, or 1.5 pixels per PDF point: 893 × 1,263 pixels for an A4 page. It cannot be changed in this tool.
Can I convert a single page?
Yes. Use Clear selection and click the page you want: only one image will be downloaded.
Can I edit the text in the image?
No. The image is a fixed rendering of the page; you would need OCR to get text out of it again.
Are images inside the PDF extracted at their original resolution?
No, here each whole page is redrawn. To recover embedded images as they are, use Extract images from PDF.
Is the PDF uploaded for the conversion?
No. Your browser renders the pages to PNG; no page passes through a server.
