Turn each PDF page into a picture you can use anywhere
A PDF is a self-contained document format — great for printing and sharing, awkward the moment you need a single page as a plain image. Plenty of tools only accept images. This converter rasterizes every page of your PDF into a standalone PNG or JPEG and hands them back as one ZIP, so a 12-page document becomes 12 numbered image files in a single download.
When converting to images is the right move
- Pasting a page into a deck or doc. You want page 4 of a report inside PowerPoint or Google Slides exactly as it looks, with no risk of fonts re-flowing. An image always renders identically.
- Posting a document where only images upload. Marketplaces, social platforms, and many forums reject PDFs but accept JPG/PNG.
- Thumbnails and previews. A quick visual of each page — for a gallery, a print-on-demand proof, or an email preview — without a PDF viewer plugin.
- Annotating in an image editor. You want to draw on a page in Photoshop, GIMP, or Procreate, which work on raster pixels, not PDF objects.
How the rendering actually works
Each page is drawn (rasterized) at a chosen DPI, then encoded as PNG or JPEG. DPI — dots per inch — is the real quality control here, not an abstract "low/medium/high" slider. A standard A4 page is 8.27 × 11.69 inches, so:
- 150 DPI (high) ≈ 1240 × 1754 px on A4 — crisp enough for on-screen detail and light printing.
- 100 DPI (medium) ≈ 827 × 1169 px — a sensible default for web and previews.
- 72 DPI (low) ≈ 595 × 842 px — smallest files, fine for thumbnails.
Pick the format to match the page:
- PNG is lossless and keeps text edges and thin lines razor-sharp. Use it for pages full of text, diagrams, or screenshots.
- JPEG is lossy and far smaller. Use it for photo-heavy or scanned pages where a little softness is invisible but the size saving is large.
Practical tips
- Vector PDFs (text, CAD-style line art) look best in PNG at 150 DPI; JPEG can add faint halos around sharp black text.
- If the ZIP is huge, switch to JPEG and/or 100 DPI — doubling DPI roughly quadruples pixel count and file size.
Honest limits and what to use instead
Rasterizing throws away the text layer — the output is pixels, so you cannot search, select, or re-edit the text. If that's not what you want, choose a different tool:
- Need the words back as an editable file? Use [PDF to Word](/pdf-to-word), which extracts the text layer into a DOCX instead of flattening it to an image.
- Just want a smaller PDF that stays a PDF (and keeps text selectable)? Use [Compress PDF](/compress-pdf) — its "smart" mode downsamples images while leaving text crisp.
- Only need certain pages as images? Pull them out first with [Split PDF](/split-pdf) or [Extract PDF](/extract-pdf), then convert.
- Going the opposite direction — stitching JPGs/PNGs back into a PDF? That's [Images to PDF](/images-to-pdf).
This tool also doesn't OCR anything; it captures pages as they look, so a scanned page stays an un-searchable image.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get one combined image of all pages stacked together?
No. Each page is rendered as a separate file inside the ZIP by design. To make a single tall image, export to PNG here and then stitch the pages in an image editor.
Why is my exported text slightly blurry?
You likely exported at 72 or 100 DPI, or as JPEG. Re-run at 150 DPI in PNG for the sharpest text — rasterized type only stays crisp with enough pixels and no lossy compression.
Should I pick PNG or JPEG for the output?
PNG is lossless and keeps text edges and thin lines razor-sharp, so use it for text, diagrams, or screenshots. JPEG is lossy and much smaller, ideal for photo-heavy or scanned pages where slight softness is invisible.
What resolution will the images be?
Quality maps to DPI: 150 DPI (high) is about 1240×1754 px on A4, 100 DPI (medium) about 827×1169 px, and 72 DPI (low) about 595×842 px. Doubling DPI roughly quadruples the pixel count and file size.
Can I search or re-edit the text after converting?
No. Rasterizing flattens each page to pixels and discards the text layer, so the output cannot be searched, selected, or re-edited. For editable text use PDF to Word, or Compress PDF to keep a smaller PDF with selectable text.
Does this tool OCR scanned pages?
No. It captures pages exactly as they look, so a scanned page stays a non-searchable image. Use the OCR PDF tool first if you need a searchable text layer.
