PDF to image conversion renders PDF pages as rasterized image files (JPEG or PNG), turning the vector and type content of each PDF page into a pixel-based image at a chosen resolution. The result is an image that can be viewed in any image viewer, embedded in social media posts, used in presentations, or processed by image-recognition and OCR pipelines.
This tool uses PDF.js — Mozilla's open-source JavaScript PDF renderer — to render each PDF page onto an HTML Canvas at the requested DPI (resolution), then exports the canvas as a JPEG or PNG. Everything runs in your browser. At 150 DPI, pages render at a size suitable for screen display. At 300 DPI, output is suitable for print reproduction. Multiple output images can be downloaded as a ZIP archive.
How to Use PDF to Image Converter
Click "Select PDF" or drag and drop a PDF file onto the upload area
Choose your output format: JPEG (smaller, good for photos) or PNG (larger, lossless for text)
Select the DPI resolution: 96 (web), 150 (standard), or 300 (print-quality)
Specify which pages to convert — all pages, or enter page numbers/ranges
Click "Convert" — a single image downloads for one page, or a ZIP archive for multiple pages
Common Use Cases
- Sharing individual PDF pages as images on social media (LinkedIn posts, Instagram)
- Extracting slides from a PDF presentation to embed as images in a website or email
- Creating thumbnail previews of PDF documents for download pages
- Converting PDF proof documents to PNG for sharing in design review tools (Figma, Design Jira)
- Feeding PDF page images into OCR software (Tesseract, Google Vision API) for text extraction
- Converting product specification PDFs into embeddable images for product listings
- Archiving scanned document pages as standalone PNG images for long-term storage
- Creating screenshots of individual PDF form pages for documentation or training materials
Example Input and Output
Converting a PDF presentation to images for a social media campaign:

All PDF rendering uses PDF.js in your browser. Your PDF files are never uploaded to or stored on our servers — conversion is entirely local to your device.
Best Format for Text PDFs
For contracts, invoices, and other text-heavy PDFs, always choose PNG at 150+ DPI. PNG's lossless compression keeps text edges sharp and crisp. JPEG is best reserved for design-heavy pages with photos and gradients.
OCR Pipeline Tip
If you are converting PDF pages to feed into an OCR system (like Tesseract or Google Vision), use PNG at 300 DPI for the highest text recognition accuracy. OCR tools perform significantly better on higher-resolution, lossless images.
Frequently Asked Questions
What DPI should I choose?
Should I use JPEG or PNG output?
Can I convert a single page instead of the whole PDF?
Why does text in the converted image look blurry?
Are my PDF files sent to a server during conversion?
Can I convert PDFs with embedded forms or interactive elements?
How This Tool Works
The PDF file is loaded into PDF.js as an ArrayBuffer. For each requested page, PDF.js renders the PDF page to an HTML Canvas at the target resolution (default viewport scaled to match the requested DPI). The canvas pixel data is exported via canvas.toDataURL() as either JPEG or PNG. For multi-page outputs, JSZip packages all image Blobs into a single ZIP archive. Single page results download directly without compression.
