How to Convert PDF to Image

Converting PDF to image is essential for sharing individual pages, embedding in presentations, posting on social media, or extracting visuals from documents.

PDF files are the standard for document sharing, but they're not always the most practical format. When you need to share a single page on social media, embed a page in a presentation, extract product images from a supplier catalog, or simply view content without a PDF reader, converting to an image format is the solution.

This tool renders each PDF page at high resolution using the same rendering engine that browsers use to display PDFs (PDF.js by Mozilla). The result is pixel-perfect images that look exactly like the original PDF pages, including all text, graphics, photos, and formatting.

PNG vs JPG Output

Choose PNG for lossless quality — perfect for documents with text, logos, or graphics where sharp edges matter. Choose JPG for smaller file sizes, ideal for pages that are primarily photographs or when you need to minimize storage. JPG at quality 90 produces excellent results for most use cases.

Resolution Settings

The resolution multiplier controls the output image size. 1x renders at screen resolution (72 DPI) — suitable for web use. 2x (144 DPI) is the default and produces sharp images suitable for most purposes. 3x (216 DPI) creates high-resolution images ideal for printing or when you need to zoom into details.

PDF to Image Use Cases

E-commerce Product Catalogs

Suppliers often send product catalogs as PDFs. Convert them to images to quickly extract product photos for your online store, marketplace listings, or social media posts without needing photo editing software.

Social Media Sharing

Share pages from reports, infographics, or documents on Instagram, Twitter, or LinkedIn. Social platforms don't support PDF uploads, so converting to JPG or PNG is the only way to share visual content from PDFs.

Presentations & Documents

Embed PDF pages directly in PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Word documents as images. This preserves the exact appearance regardless of the viewer's installed fonts or PDF reader version.

Website & Blog Content

Convert PDF charts, graphs, or infographics to images for embedding in web pages and blog posts. Web browsers render images natively and faster than embedded PDFs, improving page load times and user experience.

Print & Design

Extract individual pages for printing, proofing, or incorporating into design layouts. Use 3x resolution for high-quality print output. PNG preserves sharp text and vector graphics for professional results.

Archive & Backup

Convert important documents to images for easy backup and long-term archival. Image files are viewable on any device without special software, making them a universal format for document preservation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. All conversion happens in your browser using PDF.js (Mozilla's open-source PDF rendering library). Your PDF never leaves your device — completely private and secure.

What resolution should I use?

2x (144 DPI) is ideal for most uses — sharp enough for screens and light printing. Use 1x for the smallest file sizes (web thumbnails). Use 3x for high-quality printing or when you need to zoom into fine details.

Should I choose PNG or JPG?

PNG for documents with text, logos, line art, or graphics — it preserves sharp edges perfectly. JPG for pages that are mostly photographs — it produces much smaller files with negligible quality loss at quality 85-95.

Is there a page limit?

No enforced limit. The tool converts every page in your PDF. Very large PDFs (100+ pages) may take longer to process since everything runs in your browser, but there is no hard limit.

Can I convert password-protected PDFs?

No. Password-protected PDFs cannot be rendered without the password. You'll need to unlock the PDF first using the original password before converting to images.

Will text in the PDF be selectable in the image?

No. When you convert a PDF to an image, the text becomes part of the image — it's no longer selectable or searchable. The image is a visual representation of the page, not a text document.

Can I convert specific pages only?

The tool converts all pages, but you can download individual pages by clicking the download button on each page card. Only download the pages you need.

What's the maximum file size?

There's no enforced size limit. However, since processing happens in your browser, very large PDFs (over 200 MB) may be slow. Modern browsers handle most PDFs efficiently.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes, fully responsive. Works on iPhone, Android, iPad, and any device with a modern browser. Convert PDFs directly from your phone.

Are fonts rendered correctly?

Yes. PDF.js renders fonts using the font data embedded in the PDF file. If the PDF has embedded fonts (most do), the output will look identical to the original. System fonts are substituted when not embedded.

How do I convert a PDF to JPG for free?

Upload your PDF to this page, select JPG as the output format, choose your resolution (2x recommended), and click Convert. Each page becomes a separate JPG image. Download individually or all at once. No signup, no watermarks, completely free.

What DPI should I use for printing PDF pages?

For standard printing (flyers, documents), 2x (144 DPI) is sufficient. For high-quality printing (photography, fine art), use 3x (216 DPI). Professional print shops typically want 300 DPI — for that, use the 3x setting on standard letter-size PDFs, which produces images at approximately 2550x3300 pixels.

Can I convert a scanned PDF to an image?

Yes. Scanned PDFs are essentially images embedded in a PDF container. This tool renders them perfectly since there is no text reflow or font rendering needed — it is already a visual representation. The output quality matches the scan resolution.

How do I convert a PDF to PNG with transparent background?

PDF pages always have a background (usually white). This tool renders the page exactly as it appears, so the output will include the white background. To get transparency, you would need to convert to PNG first, then use a background removal tool to make the white areas transparent.

Can I convert a PDF with multiple pages to a single long image?

This tool converts each page to a separate image file. To combine multiple pages into one long image, convert all pages first, then use our Merge Images tool to stack them vertically. This is useful for creating scrollable previews or single-image summaries of multi-page documents.

Why is my converted PDF image blurry?

The most common cause is using 1x resolution, which renders at 72 DPI — fine for thumbnails but soft for detailed viewing. Switch to 2x or 3x for sharper results. If the source PDF itself is low quality (a low-resolution scan, for example), no amount of resolution increase will add detail that was not captured originally.

Is PDF to JPG or PDF to PNG better?

PNG is better for documents with text, diagrams, logos, or sharp edges — it preserves every pixel perfectly with no compression artifacts. JPG is better for PDF pages that are mostly photographs — it produces files 5-10x smaller with minimal visible quality loss. When in doubt, use PNG for quality or JPG for smaller file size.

Can I convert a PDF form with fillable fields?

Yes, but only the current state of the form is captured. Filled-in fields will appear in the image as they look in the PDF. Empty form fields will appear as blank spaces or with their default placeholder text. Interactive elements like checkboxes and dropdowns are rendered in their current state.

How do I extract a single image from a PDF?

This tool converts entire pages to images. To extract a specific image embedded within a PDF page, convert the page at 3x resolution for maximum quality, then use our Crop Image tool to select and cut out just the image you need. This gives you a clean extraction at the highest possible quality.

Can I convert PDF to WebP format?

This tool outputs PNG and JPG. To get WebP, convert your PDF to PNG first (for maximum quality), then use our Convert Image tool to convert the PNG to WebP. WebP files are typically 25-35% smaller than equivalent JPGs, making them ideal for web use.

PDF to Image for Business and Documentation

Converting PDFs to images is essential for presentations, social media sharing, archival, and cross-platform compatibility.

Sharing Documents on Social Media

Social platforms like Instagram, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn do not support PDF uploads. Converting PDF pages to JPG or PNG images lets you share document content as visual posts. This is common for infographics, reports, certificates, event flyers, and resume highlights. Convert at 2x resolution for crisp text on high-DPI phone screens, and use PNG format for documents with sharp text and graphics.

Embedding PDFs in Presentations

PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Keynote do not natively embed PDFs. Converting PDF pages to high-resolution images lets you insert them as slides or visual references. Use 3x resolution for presentation use — when projected on large screens, lower resolutions become noticeably soft. PNG format preserves text clarity better than JPG for slides.

Creating Thumbnails and Previews

Websites, document management systems, and file browsers often need thumbnail previews of PDF content. Convert the first page at 1x resolution for small thumbnails (ideal for file listings and search results) or 2x for larger preview cards. JPG format keeps file sizes small for fast loading when generating thumbnails for hundreds of documents.

Archival and Long-Term Storage

Images are more universally readable than PDFs — every device and operating system can display JPG and PNG files without specialized software. For archival purposes, convert important documents to PNG at 3x resolution. PNG is lossless, so the conversion preserves every detail. Store both the original PDF and the image versions for maximum accessibility and future-proofing.

PDF to Image Quality and Resolution Guide

Understanding DPI, resolution, and format choices helps you get the best results for your specific use case.

Understanding DPI and Resolution

DPI (dots per inch) determines how many pixels represent each inch of the PDF page. A standard US Letter page (8.5 x 11 inches) at 72 DPI (1x) produces a 612x792 pixel image. At 144 DPI (2x), it produces 1224x1584 pixels. At 216 DPI (3x), it produces 1836x2376 pixels. Higher DPI means more detail but larger file sizes — a 3x image is roughly 2.25x the file size of a 2x image.

Choosing the Right Resolution by Use Case

For web thumbnails and email previews, 1x (72 DPI) is sufficient and keeps files small. For screen reading, document sharing, and social media posts, 2x (144 DPI) provides excellent clarity on both standard and retina displays. For printing, professional use, and archival, 3x (216 DPI) captures maximum detail. Going beyond 3x has diminishing returns for most documents.

PNG vs JPG: Making the Right Choice

Text-heavy documents (contracts, reports, articles, code) should always use PNG. JPG compression creates visible artifacts around sharp text edges, making letters look fuzzy — especially at smaller font sizes. Photo-heavy documents (catalogs, magazines, photo albums) should use JPG at 85-95% quality, where compression is nearly invisible but file sizes drop dramatically. Mixed content (brochures, presentations with both text and photos) are best as PNG if text clarity is the priority, or JPG at 95% quality as a compromise.

File Size Expectations

A single letter-size page at 2x resolution produces roughly 200-500 KB as JPG (quality 90) or 1-3 MB as PNG, depending on content complexity. Photo-heavy pages produce larger JPGs; text-only pages produce very small files in both formats. For a 50-page PDF, expect approximately 10-25 MB total as JPG or 50-150 MB as PNG at 2x resolution.
