📸 What is PDF to Image Conversion?
PDF to image conversion is the process of extracting pages from PDF documents and converting them into standard image formats like JPG or PNG. This transformation allows you to work with PDF content in image editing software, embed pages in websites, or share document content as visual media.
Our advanced PDF to image converter uses PDF.js technology to render each PDF page at high quality, maintaining text clarity and image fidelity while providing flexible output options including format selection, quality adjustment, and resolution scaling.

- 4. Quality Scaling: Resolution is adjusted based on user settings
- 5. Format Encoding: Canvas data is encoded to JPG or PNG format
- 6. File Generation: Individual image files are prepared for download

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What's the maximum PDF file size supported?
The tool processes files entirely in your browser, so the limitation depends on your device's memory. Most modern devices can handle PDFs up to 50-100MB. For larger files, consider reducing the PDF size first.
Can I convert password-protected PDFs?
Currently, password-protected PDFs are not supported. You'll need to remove the password protection first using PDF editing software before using our converter.
Which format should I choose for text documents?
PNG is recommended for text documents as it provides lossless compression, ensuring crisp text rendering. JPG can make text appear blurry due to compression artifacts.
How do I maintain text clarity in the converted images?
Use PNG format with a resolution scale of 2x or higher. This ensures text remains sharp and readable. For professional documents, consider 3x-4x scaling.
Can I convert specific pages instead of the entire PDF?
The current version converts all pages automatically. Each page is provided as a separate download, so you can choose which specific pages to download after conversion.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes! Our PDF to image converter is completely free with no limitations on the number of conversions, file size (within browser limits), or output quality.
