PDF to Image Converter

Drop an image or click to upload Drop up to 200 images, or click to choose them

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

1. Drop your PDF file. Up to 50 MB free; 200 MB Premium. Up to 100 pages free; unlimited Premium.
2. Pick output format. JPG for smaller files (default — quality 90); PNG for transparency / lossless preservation.
3. Pick a DPI. 72 (web thumbnail), 150 (standard / on-screen viewing), 300 (print quality). Higher DPI = larger image dimensions.
4. Optionally select a page range (e.g. "1-3, 7, 10-15"). Default exports every page.
5. 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 (×ばつ11") rendered at:

• 72 DPI → ×ばつ792 pixels — fine for inline web previews
• 150 DPI → ×ばつ1650 pixels — Retina-quality on-screen display
• 300 DPI → ×ばつ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.

Going the other way? Use our Image to PDF Converter to combine multiple images into a single PDF. For shrinking the resulting JPGs, run them through our JPG Compressor in a second pass. For text extraction (OCR) from scanned PDFs, that's coming as a separate tool.
