PDF to Image

PDF to image is a PDF tool that converts each page of a PDF into a JPEG or PNG image. It renders pages with Mozilla's PDF.js, supports adjustable resolution scaling, and lets you download individual pages or all images at once. The tool runs in your browser.

How to convert a PDF to images

  1. Drop your PDF onto the upload area or click to browse.
  2. Choose the output format: JPEG for smaller files, PNG for higher quality and transparency.
  3. Adjust the resolution scale if needed, higher resolution gives sharper images.
  4. Download individual pages or click "Download all" to get all pages at once.

Common uses

  • Converting PDF slides to images for embedding in presentations or websites, then compress the images to reduce file size before uploading
  • Extracting pages from a PDF for use in image editing tools, use split PDF first if you only need specific pages
  • Creating thumbnails or previews of PDF document pages

Technical specification

  • Algorithm or formula: pdfjs-dist renders each page to an off-screen HTMLCanvasElement at the requested resolution scale, then canvas.toBlob() encodes the bitmap as JPEG or PNG.
  • Browser API or library: pdfjs-dist (Mozilla's PDF.js) for page rasterization; Canvas 2D API for the render target; Blob API for download.
  • Input limits: PDF up to 100 MB. Render scale 1× to 4×; higher scales produce sharper images but use more memory.
  • Output: JPEG (with quality 0.92 default) or PNG (lossless, alpha-capable). Each page is a separate file; "Download all" zips into a single batch.
  • Known limitations: Output is a raster image; text becomes pixels and is no longer selectable. Very high scales on large PDFs may exceed browser memory.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. PDF rendering uses PDF.js (Mozilla's PDF engine) running entirely in your browser.
What output formats are available?
You can download pages as JPEG (smaller file size) or PNG (lossless, supports transparency). PNG is better for diagrams and text-heavy pages.
How do I improve the image quality?
Increase the resolution scale. Higher resolution produces sharper images at the cost of larger file sizes and longer processing time.
Can I convert a specific page, not the whole PDF?
Yes. Each page has an individual download button. Click it to save just that page as an image.
