How to use the
PDF to Images

  1. 01

    Choose a PDF and selection

    Enter physical page positions or ranges. One source PDF and up to 60 selected pages are rendered per job.

  2. 02

    Set the output format and DPI

    Use PNG for crisp lossless page images or JPEG/WebP for more compact photographic content. DPI controls output pixel dimensions.

  3. 03

    Inspect and download

    Review the first page preview and download the page files or ZIP. Check diagrams and small text at the final display size.

02UNDERSTAND THE RESULT

DPI determines how many pixels represent the page

PDF dimensions are expressed in points, with 72 points per inch. Rendering at 144 DPI creates two pixels per PDF point in each direction. Doubling DPI multiplies the pixel count by four, which increases memory and usually increases the output file size.

This tool rejects a rendered page above 24 megapixels or 12,000 pixels on either dimension. It asks you to reduce DPI instead of silently changing the requested resolution. Rotated page appearance is respected.

03IN PRACTICE

Estimate a letter-sized page export

THE STARTING POINT
US Letter page: 612 × 792 points
Rendering DPI: 144
THE RESULT / NEXT STEP
Approximate image: 1224 × 1584 pixels
Each PDF point becomes two image pixels.
Actual pages can have different crop dimensions; the renderer uses the page viewport.
04PUT IT TO WORK

Match the image format to the next destination

01

Prefer PNG for sharp diagrams

Lossless output avoids JPEG ringing around small text and thin lines, at a possible size cost.

02

Use JPEG for broad compatibility

JPEG has no transparency and introduces compression loss. Check small text before publishing.

03

Keep the PDF when structure matters

A page image does not retain selectable text, hyperlinks, forms or PDF accessibility tags.

THE QUESTIONS THAT COME NEXT

PDF to Images:
questions, answered.

Can I export just one page as a picture?

Yes. Enter its physical page number in the selection field.

Why does a higher DPI use much more memory?

Pixel count grows with the square of the scale: doubling DPI multiplies the image pixels by four.

Are PDF links clickable in the PNG?

No. The image contains visual pixels, not PDF hyperlink or form behavior.

What if WebP export is unavailable?

Choose PNG. The tool reports an unsupported encoder rather than disguising a PNG with a WebP filename.
