How to use PDF to JPG / PNG

  1. Open the PDFThumbnails confirm it is the right file.
  2. Pick format and resolutionJPG for photos, PNG for sharp text and diagrams, WebP for the web.
  3. ConvertDownload each image or all of them as a ZIP.

Choosing resolution

PDF pages have no pixels until they are rendered. 72 dpi equals the page’s size in points (a Letter page becomes 612×792 px) — fine for previews. 150 dpi is a good screen size, 200 dpi works for most printing, and 300 dpi gives print-shop quality at the cost of large files.

Choosing a format

PNG keeps text edges perfectly sharp and is the safe choice for diagrams and screenshots. JPG is much smaller for photo-heavy pages. WebP gives the smallest files for web publishing and is supported by all modern browsers.

Only some pages

Type page numbers or ranges in “Pages” (for example 1, 4-6) to skip the rest. To pull out only the pictures embedded inside a page, use Extract images instead.

Images for slides and social posts

To drop a PDF page into a presentation, PNG at 150 dpi is crisp on screen and keeps line art sharp. For a web page or social post, JPG or WebP keeps files small; WebP is typically a third smaller than JPG at the same quality. When a document has many pages, every image is offered separately and as one zip download.

Questions about PDF to JPG / PNG

Why do my images have a white background?

PDF pages are painted on white paper, so rendered pages are opaque. Use Extract images for original transparent graphics.

How big will the images be?

At 150 dpi a Letter page is 1275×1650 px; JPG files are typically 150–400 KB.

Are fonts rendered correctly?

Yes, pdf.js renders embedded fonts and substitutes standard fonts if the PDF doesn’t embed them.
