How to use it

  1. Drop one PDF onto the page. Every page appears as a thumbnail.
  2. Choose JPG or PNG and the detail level. Leave Pages empty for all pages, or click thumbnails or type numbers such as 1-3, 5.
  3. Press the save button. Download pictures one by one, or all together as a ZIP.

Good to know

  • PNG is the better pick for pages with small text, charts and line art.
  • Good (150 DPI) suits screens and email. Choose Sharp (300 DPI) for printing.
  • JPG files are smaller. PNG keeps text and line art crisp but makes bigger files.
  • Very large pages are scaled down a little so your browser does not run out of memory. The result row says when that happened.
  • Up to 200 pages can be saved at a time. Type a range such as 201-400 for the next batch.
  • Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first.

Questions

When is PNG better than JPG for a PDF page?

PNG keeps small text, charts and line art crisp, while JPG can leave faint smudges around sharp edges. The cost is a larger file.

How do I save every page of a PDF as PNG?

Add the PDF, leave Pages empty, and press the save button. You can download the pictures one by one or all together as a ZIP.

Can I turn a PDF into a high resolution PNG?

Yes. Choose Sharp (300 DPI). Very large pages are scaled down a little so your browser does not run out of memory, and the result row tells you when that happens.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The work happens inside your browser, on your own device, so your files never reach our server. The page does load ads from third parties, but they cannot see your files.

What do the DPI choices mean?

DPI is the number of pixels per inch of page. A Letter page at 150 DPI comes out about 1275 by 1650 pixels. Higher numbers give sharper but larger pictures.

Can I save only some pages?

Yes. Click the thumbnails you want or type page numbers such as 2, 4-6. Leave the box empty to save every page.

Why is my picture smaller than I asked for?

Pages that would need more than about 16 million pixels are scaled down so phones and older browsers can draw them.
