About PDF to Image Conversion
When do you need PDF pages as images?
Common use cases include creating document thumbnails, embedding PDF content into presentations, sharing individual pages on social media, or extracting diagrams and charts from a PDF for use in other documents. Image formats are also more universally viewable than PDFs in some contexts.
JPG vs PNG — which is better for PDFs?
JPG is ideal for most documents: it produces smaller files and renders quickly. PNG is preferable when the PDF contains sharp vector graphics, fine text that must stay crisp at small sizes, or any content with transparency. For archiving purposes, PNG's lossless compression is the safer choice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which image format should I choose — JPG or PNG?
JPG is best for most PDFs: smaller file sizes and universal compatibility. Choose PNG if your PDF has transparent elements or you need lossless quality (e.g. documents with fine text at high zoom).
What do the 1×, 2×, and 3× resolution options mean?
These are render scale multipliers applied to the PDF's native page size. 1× gives screen-quality output (72–96 dpi equivalent). 2× doubles the pixel dimensions for sharper text and clearer images. 3× is suitable for print-quality output — files will be significantly larger.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. All rendering is done in your browser using pdf.js. Your file never leaves your device.
Can I convert a multi-page PDF?
Yes. Every page is rendered and shown in the grid. You can download individual pages or click 'Download All as ZIP' to get every page in one file.
Why does 3× take longer to convert?
Higher scale means larger canvas dimensions — a 3× render produces 9× as many pixels as 1×. pdf.js renders each page individually, so large or complex pages can take a few seconds per page at 3×.
