How to use
- 1
Add PDFs
Drag and drop them into the box, or click to choose. You can add several PDFs at once.
- 2
Choose the format and resolution
Choose the output format and resolution. To convert only some pages, enter them in "Pages".
- 3
Convert and save
Press "Run" to create an image for each page. Save them one by one or together as a ZIP file.
About converting PDF to images
Choose the output format (JPG or PNG) and the resolution (72 to 300 dpi). Type pages into the "Page range" box, such as "1-3,5", to convert only those pages. Leave it empty to convert every page.
For PDFs with two or more pages, you can save the page images one by one or together as a ZIP file. Pages larger than your device can render are converted at a lower resolution, and a note tells you so.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF sent to a server?
No. Opening the PDF and creating the images all happen in the browser on your device. Statistics that help us fix bugs (the page count range, the range of how many pages were turned into images, error types and so on) are sent to this site's server. They do not include the content of the PDF, file names, passwords or the page ranges you enter. You can turn the statistics off with the "Send processing statistics" switch at the bottom of the page.
Can I convert password-protected PDFs to images?
Yes. Enter the open password to convert it. If the author has restricted copying and extraction, you cannot convert it to images until you enter the permissions password. This tool does not guess passwords, so if you do not know the permissions password, ask the person who created the PDF. Images cannot carry a password or restrictions, so anyone can open the images you create.
Should I choose JPG or PNG?
JPG suits photos and scanned documents, and PNG suits pages that are mostly text or diagrams. JPG files are smaller, and PNG keeps text edges sharp.
Can I select or search the text in the converted pages?
No. A page turned into an image has no text data, so you cannot select, copy or search its text. Links are not kept in the images either. To split pages while keeping the text, use "Split PDF".
Help us improve the service
If a conversion fails, sending us the circumstances helps us track down the cause. Knowing which devices and formats fail most often, and how long processing takes, lets us revise the supported formats and fix the bugs behind them. If you don't mind, leaving this on is a real help.
What is sent
- The tool you used and the settings you chose (output format, quality, etc.)
- Your device specs (GPU, memory, core count)
- The input format with a rough size
- How many files succeeded or failed and how long it took
- The error type and details when something fails
What is never sent
- The files themselves and file names
- Text, subtitles or prompts you add to a video
- The text to be read aloud, voice descriptions, the pronunciation dictionary and saved voices
- The text in PDFs, the text you rewrote or redacted, passwords, font names and the page ranges you enter
- IP addresses
The data goes only to this site's own server, never to a third-party service.
Details sent by specific tools (counts, times, kinds and yes/no only)
In addition to “What is sent”, text to speech and the PDF tools send the following details.
- PDF tools (all)This tool
- The page count range, whether editing is restricted, whether a permissions password was entered, and whether the PDF is signed or encrypted.
- PDF page operations and conversion between images and PDFThis tool
- The numbers of inputs and outputs, of pages rotated, deleted, duplicated or moved, of images inserted as they are, converted, in HEIC format or with corrected orientation, and of pages rendered at a lower resolution (all as ranges), whether the original was updated in place or a new document was created, and whether the original protection was reapplied, form fields were written into the page and bookmarks were added back.
- Text to speech
- The approximate number of characters and sentences, how many parts the text was generated in, and how long the AI model took to load.
- PDF text editing and redaction
- The numbers of rewrites, deletions, white-outs and redactions, the number of rewritten characters by source (original font or fallback font, the latter as a range) and the fallback typeface, the kinds of reasons why lines cannot be edited, and the number of pages turned into images by redaction and the reasons.
- PDF compression
- The numbers of inputs and outputs, of images downsized, not downsized and black-and-white, of downsized images whose transparency was also downsized, that stayed lossless or that were converted from CMYK to RGB, and how many times the file was compressed (all as ranges), the kinds of reasons images were not downsized, whether the target size was met and the kind of reason it was not met, the range of how much smaller the file got, whether the original protection was reapplied, and whether the original PDF was returned unchanged.
- PDF cropping and page numbers
- The numbers of inputs and outputs and of pages cropped, numbered or with their margins reduced (all as ranges), how the margins were set, how the pages to crop or number were chosen, the number format and position, the range of the starting number, that the original was updated in place, and whether the original protection was reapplied.
