How to use

  1. Drop a PDF or click browse to select one.
  2. Pick a format: PNG (lossless) or JPG (smaller).
  3. Pick a DPI. 72 is screen-size, 150 is a good default, 300 is print-quality.
  4. Optionally limit pages with a range like 1-3, 5, 8-10, or leave blank to render all pages.
  5. Click Render, then download individual pages or use Download all (ZIP).

What does it do?

Each selected page is rendered to a canvas at your chosen DPI, then encoded as either PNG or JPG. Output dimensions scale with DPI: a US Letter page (8.5 × 11 in) renders to roughly 1275 × 1650 pixels at 150 DPI, or 2550 × 3300 pixels at 300 DPI. JPG gets a white-background fill first because JPG cannot hold transparency.

Example

Input — a 3-page PDF invoice-pack.pdf, PNG format, 150 DPI, all pages: 

invoice-pack.pdf (3 pages, US Letter)
  → render all pages
  → invoice-pack-page-001.png (1275×1650)
  → invoice-pack-page-002.png (1275×1650)
  → invoice-pack-page-003.png (1275×1650)

Same PDF, JPG format at quality 85, page range 1, 3:

invoice-pack.pdf (3 pages)
  → render pages 1 and 3
  → invoice-pack-page-001.jpg  (smaller file)
  → invoice-pack-page-003.jpg  (smaller file)

Common errors and pitfalls

Most surprising results come from mismatched DPI expectations or page-range mistakes.

  • Blurry or pixelated output. Using 72 DPI for printing or high-res display. Bump to 150 or 300 DPI. Note: you cannot exceed the resolution of the source — a 72 DPI scanned PDF rendered at 300 DPI just makes the blur bigger.
  • JPG output has a black or strange background. JPG cannot hold transparency. The tool fills with white before rendering, but if a source page has a transparent background and you expected dark-mode, switch to PNG instead.
  • Tab freezes or runs out of memory. Rendering 300 DPI across 100+ pages can allocate several gigabytes of canvas memory. Render in batches using the page-range field (1-25, then 26-50, etc.), or drop to 150 DPI.
  • Invalid range. Invalid range: "1 through 5" — only hyphens and commas are supported. Use 1-5 format.
  • Huge JPG at "quality 100". JPG quality above 95 barely saves anything over lossless PNG but runs slower. Start at quality 85.
  • Encrypted PDF. Encrypted PDFs throw a password error. Open the file in your PDF viewer, remove the password with Save As, then load the unprotected copy here.

Is my data private?

Yes. We don't save the PDF you drop here, or the rendered images and ZIP you download. Nothing is stored, logged, or retained — everything is discarded the moment you close or refresh the tab. There's no record on our side of what you converted. Feel free to verify in your browser's developer tools.

Frequently asked questions

Should I pick PNG or JPG?

Use PNG for pages with text, charts, diagrams, or line art — lossless compression keeps edges crisp. Use JPG for pages that are mostly photographs or scanned documents where slight quality loss is fine and file size matters. PNG files are usually 2–5x larger than JPG at the same DPI for text-heavy content.

Why do my rendered pages look blurry?

DPI is probably too low. 72 DPI matches screen pixels 1:1 and looks fine in a browser but blurry when zoomed or printed. Bump to 150 for general use or 300 for print-quality output. Also check that your source PDF is not itself a low-resolution scan — you cannot add detail that is not there.

What page range syntax does the tool accept?

Comma-separated page numbers and ranges. "1-3, 5, 8-10" renders pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10. Leave the field blank to render every page. Pages outside the document range are silently skipped, so "1-9999" on a 20-page PDF is safe and renders all 20 pages.

Can the tool handle password-protected PDFs?

No. Encrypted PDFs fail to load with an error. Unlock the file in your PDF viewer by opening it, entering the password, and using File > Save As to export an unprotected copy. Then load that copy here.

Why is rendering slow or freezing my tab?

High DPI on many pages is expensive. A 100-page PDF at 300 DPI allocates over 800 megapixels of canvas data, which can stall low-memory devices. Try 150 DPI first, or render in smaller page-range batches. Mobile browsers in particular may crash above roughly 50 pages at 300 DPI.

Do you save the PDFs I convert to images here?

No. We don't save the PDF you drop in, and we don't keep the rendered pages or ZIP you download either. Everything is discarded as soon as you close or refresh the tab — no logs, no record on our side of what you converted. If you want extra reassurance, your browser's developer tools will confirm.
