Expert Tips
Higher DPI = better quality but larger file sizes
Use Split PDF first to extract only the pages you need as images
JPG format works best for photos; for diagrams or text use the highest DPI for sharpness
The ZIP option is much faster than downloading pages individually for large PDFs
Frequently Asked Questions
What image format does it output? ▼
The tool outputs JPEG (.jpg) images. Each PDF page becomes one image file.
How do I control image quality? ▼
Adjust the DPI (dots per inch) setting — higher DPI gives sharper images but larger files.
Can I convert just one page? ▼
Yes — after rendering, you can download individual pages rather than the full ZIP.
How PDF-to-Image Rasterisation Works
PDF.js renders each PDF page onto an HTML canvas element in your browser. The canvas is then exported as a JPEG using the browser's canvas.toDataURL() API. A higher scale factor means more pixels — sharper image, larger file. For screen sharing and web use, 1.5–2× is sufficient. For printing, use 3× or higher.
JPEG is the default output because it produces smaller files than PNG for most PDF content. For pages with predominantly sharp text and line art, the highest quality JPEG setting minimises compression artefacts. Individual pages can be downloaded separately, or the entire set downloaded as a ZIP archive for convenience. Your PDF never leaves the browser — all rasterisation is done locally.
