Process up to 200 images per job — pick your settings once, run them all.
Render every page of a PDF as a high-resolution image. Useful when you've got a PDF and need to embed individual pages in a slide deck, edit them in Photoshop, post a single page to social, or generate thumbnails for a document library. Pick a DPI (72 web / 150 standard / 300 print), download a zip with one image per page.
Why convert PDF to image
PDFs are great containers for documents but bad embeds for casual sharing. Most social platforms can't preview PDF inline (Twitter, Instagram, most messaging apps). Slides and presentations need raster imagery; pasting a PDF page never works the way you want. Image-editing tools want pixel data, not vector PDFs. Document libraries want thumbnails for visual browsing.
Image extraction solves all of these. The result is one PNG (or JPG) per PDF page, named sequentially (document_p1.png, document_p2.png, etc.). Drop them anywhere a regular image would go.
How to convert PDF to images
- Drop your PDF file. Up to 50 MB free; 200 MB Premium. Up to 100 pages free; unlimited Premium.
- Pick output format. JPG for smaller files (default — quality 90); PNG for transparency / lossless preservation.
- Pick a DPI. 72 (web thumbnail), 150 (standard / on-screen viewing), 300 (print quality). Higher DPI = larger image dimensions.
- Optionally select a page range (e.g. "1-3, 7, 10-15"). Default exports every page.
- Download the zip. One image per page, sequentially numbered.
DPI vs file size
The DPI setting controls how many pixels per inch of the original PDF the renderer produces. A US Letter page (8.5×11") rendered at:
- 72 DPI → 612×792 pixels — fine for inline web previews
- 150 DPI → 1275×1650 pixels — Retina-quality on-screen display
- 300 DPI → 2550×3300 pixels — print quality, useful for posters
Pick the lowest DPI that meets your display target. Higher DPIs produce larger files but no visible benefit if you'll only view the result on a normal monitor. For text-heavy pages, 150 DPI is the sweet spot — text stays crisp without bloating the file.

Frequently asked questions
Does it extract text or just render the page?
Renders the page as an image. For OCR / text extraction, that's a separate tool (coming soon). Use the image route for embedding, the OCR route for parsing.
Can I extract just one page?
Yes — type a page range like '5' or '1-3, 10-15' before converting. Default is all pages.
What's the maximum PDF size?
50 MB free, 200 MB Premium. Most documents are well under either limit.
Will the result be searchable?
No — images aren't searchable. The result is pixel data only. PDFs themselves are usually searchable; convert only when you need image format.
Best DPI for web display?
150 — Retina-quality on most screens. 300 only matters for print.
Can I convert a password-protected PDF?
Not in the free tier — Premium users can supply the password.
How long does it take?
Roughly 0.5–1 second per page at 150 DPI. A 20-page document converts in 10–20 seconds.
Output format JPG or PNG?
Both supported. JPG is smaller (default), PNG is lossless and supports transparency from the source PDF.
