Render PDF pages to images in your browser

Extracting images from a PDF is useful any time you need a visual representation of a page — thumbnails for a document preview, slides converted to images for a presentation, or scanned pages pulled out for editing. This tool renders each page using PDF.js and the browser's Canvas API, producing accurate pixel representations without server involvement.

Choose PNG for lossless output where text sharpness matters, or JPG with an adjustable quality slider for smaller files where some compression is acceptable. The resolution selector scales the render: 2x (144 DPI) is a good default for screen and email use; 3x (216 DPI) is suitable for printing. Multi-page PDFs are bundled into a ZIP with sequentially numbered files.

Note that the output is a raster snapshot — text is not selectable in the resulting images. If you need vector output with editable paths, use the PDF to SVG tool instead.

Frequently asked questions

How does resolution work?

The scale setting multiplies the PDF's native resolution. 1x renders at 72 DPI (screen resolution), 2x at 144 DPI, and 3x at 216 DPI. For print-quality images, 2x or 3x is recommended. Higher scale means larger file sizes.

What is the difference between PNG and JPG output?

PNG is lossless — every pixel is preserved exactly. JPG uses lossy compression, which produces smaller files at some quality cost. For documents with text, PNG is usually preferable. For photos, JPG at 80-95% quality is typically indistinguishable from PNG at a fraction of the size.

What do I get for a multi-page PDF?

Single-page PDFs download as one image file. Multi-page PDFs are packaged as a ZIP archive with one numbered image per page (e.g., page-001.png, page-002.png).

Are my files uploaded?

No. The PDF is rendered page-by-page in your browser using PDF.js and the Canvas API. No data leaves your device.

Will text remain selectable in the exported images?

No. The output is a raster image — a pixel snapshot of each page. Text is not selectable in the resulting PNG or JPG. If you need vector output with editable text, use the PDF to SVG tool instead.
