Extract a PDF's pages as images.
Convert each page of a PDF into a JPG or PNG. Useful for pasting pages into a deck, sharing a single page from a longer document, or working with PDFs in image-editing software. Multi-page PDFs come back as a ZIP; single-page PDFs as one image. Stays in your browser the whole time.
-
Stays on your device
Contracts, financial documents, anything sensitive — the rendering happens in your browser tab using the same engine (pdf.js) browsers use to render PDFs natively. Open DevTools while it runs and watch the Network tab — no traffic carrying your file.
-
Pick your DPI
Low (72) for fast screen-sized previews. Medium (150) for the usual case — crisp on screen, reasonable file sizes. High (300) when the images will be printed or zoomed into.
-
JPG or PNG
JPG for smaller files when your PDF pages are photo-like. PNG when you need lossless quality (text-heavy pages, line art, diagrams that should stay crisp under zoom).
How it works
- 1
Drop your PDF
Single file. We read the page count so you know what to expect before converting — multi-page PDFs will produce a ZIP.
- 2
Pick format and resolution
JPG vs PNG, plus a DPI preset. Medium DPI / JPG is the right default for most uses (smaller files, crisp screen quality).
- 3
Save
For a 1-page PDF, the result is a single image. For multi-page, you get a ZIP with files named page_001.jpg, page_002.jpg, etc.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take?
About 1-2 seconds per page at Medium DPI on a modern desktop, longer on phones. High DPI roughly quadruples the work (300dpi has 4× the pixels of 150dpi). Very long PDFs (100+ pages) at high DPI can take a couple of minutes — the progress bar shows real per-page progress.
JPG or PNG — which should I pick?
JPG for photo-heavy PDFs and when smaller files matter. PNG for text-heavy documents, scans of forms, line art, or anything where you want the result to stay crisp under zoom. PNGs are lossless but bigger — for a multi-page PDF the JPG version can be a fraction of the PNG ZIP size.
What about password-protected PDFs?
Currently not supported — the decoder will say so explicitly if you try. Remove the password using a desktop tool (Adobe Acrobat or similar) and come back here. A "PDF password remover" tool may come later, but only for cases where you know the password already.
What DPI does each preset use?
Low = 72 dpi (the PDF's native unit). Medium = 150 dpi (2× scale). High = 300 dpi (~4× scale). 300dpi is the standard "print quality" threshold; most users can't tell the difference between 150 and 300 on screen.
Will text in the PDF stay readable in the images?
Yes, but as pixels — the output is a raster image, not searchable text. If you need to extract the actual text of a PDF (for copying, editing, or searching), that's a different tool we may add later. This tool is for when you want the visual page as an image.
What gets included in the ZIP filenames?
The pattern is page_001.jpg, page_002.jpg, etc.
The leading zeros adapt to the page count so files sort correctly in
file managers (a 200-page PDF will use 3-digit padding; a 12-page PDF
will use 2-digit). Each file uses the same DPI and format as the rest.
Can I just extract one specific page?
Not yet in this tool — it extracts all pages. To pull a specific page, first use PDF Splitter to extract just that page, then come back here.
