PDF to Images

What this tool does

Turns a PDF's pages into images. Each page is genuinely rendered the way a PDF reader draws it, then exported as its own image at the format and resolution you choose.

When to use it

• You need a page from a document to drop into a slide deck or a text document that will not take a PDF.
• You want to post a page or two somewhere that only accepts images.
• You need a quick visual preview of a document's pages without opening a reader.
• You want to feed a page into something that works on images — OCR, or an image editor.

How to use it

1. 1Drag a PDF onto the drop area or choose it; its page count appears once it loads.
2. 2Pick the image format: JPEG for smaller files, or PNG to keep text and fine lines perfectly sharp.
3. 3Set the scale — higher means more detail and a correspondingly larger image.
4. 4Convert, then download an individual page, or use "Download all (ZIP)" to get every page at once.

A practical example

Limitations

• The output is images, so the text in them is no longer selectable or searchable. If the text itself is what you want, use the PDF to Text tool.
• Pushing the scale high on a long document uses a lot of memory and can slow or fail on weaker devices.
• JPEG has no transparency, so transparent backgrounds come out white; choose PNG when transparency matters.
• Password-protected files need to be unlocked first.

Privacy and processing

Conversion happens inside your browser: pages are rendered and images generated on your device, and neither the PDF nor any resulting image is uploaded.

Technical notes

• Rendering uses pdf.js, the same engine Firefox uses to display PDFs, so the output matches what you would see in a reader.
• The scale factor multiplies the image's pixel dimensions relative to the page's natural size — that is where both the extra detail and the extra file size come from.
• For JPEG there is a quality control, which trades image clarity against file size.
