PDF to Image — Extract Pages as JPG or PNG

Guide: saving PDF pages as JPG or PNG images

How pages are turned into images

The tool uses Mozilla's pdf.js library, which loads in your browser the first time you use it. Every page of your PDF is drawn onto a canvas at twice the page's natural size. For an A4 page, which is 595 by 842 points, that gives an image of about 1190 by 1684 pixels, or roughly 144 pixels per inch at the printed size. All pages are rendered as soon as you open the file, and each appears with its own Download button.

You can switch between PNG, the default, and JPG at quality 0.92. Single pages download as page-1.png, page-2.png and so on, and Download all as ZIP packs every page into pdf-pages.zip. Your PDF is not uploaded.

Where the images get used

• Uploading a certificate, marksheet or ID page to a portal that accepts images but not PDFs.
• Sharing a single page of a bill, ticket or circular on WhatsApp without sending the whole document.
• Placing a chart or diagram from a report into a presentation.
• Getting the text out of a scanned PDF: convert the page here, then run it through Image to Text.
• Using the first page of a report or brochure as a cover image on a website.
• Keeping a page of a train or flight ticket in your phone's gallery for quick access.

Getting a file a form will accept

Forms often ask for a JPG under a set size such as 100 KB, and a full page rendered at 2x is usually larger than that. Choose JPG, download the page you need, trim the white margins with the Crop tool if the form only wants the document itself, set the width with the Image Resizer if dimensions are specified, and finish with Compress to Size or Compress to 100 KB. Check that small print is still readable before you submit.

What the images contain and what they lose

Each image is a picture of the whole page as it looks. Text becomes pixels, so it is no longer selectable or searchable, and links stop working. The tool does not pull out the photos embedded in a PDF at their original resolution; a small photo on a page stays small in the page image. If you only need the text, copying it from a PDF reader is more accurate than converting and reading it back.

Large and protected PDFs

Password-protected PDFs cannot be opened here, and the tool will show an error. If you are allowed to, remove the password in your PDF reader first. Very long PDFs take time, because every page is rendered and kept in memory before the list appears, and on a phone a long, image-heavy document may be slow or run out of memory. If a page fails to render, the tool skips it and continues with the rest, so compare the page count shown with the original.

Before you convert

• Choose PNG for pages that are mostly text or line drawings, and JPG when you need smaller files.
• Use a computer for documents with many pages.
• Check the page count after rendering.
• Rename the downloaded pages if you convert several PDFs, since every file uses the same page-1, page-2 names.
• To turn images back into a single PDF later, use Image to PDF.
