PDF to PNG vs PDF to JPG: which to choose

Use PDF to PNG when

  • The PDF contains text , PNG keeps it sharp
  • The PDF has diagrams, charts or line art
  • The PDF is a screenshot or has sharp edges
  • File size is less important than quality

Use PDF to JPG when

  • The PDF is primarily photographs or scans
  • You need smaller file sizes for sharing
  • Uploading to platforms that prefer JPEG
  • The visual difference at 92% quality is acceptable

If you are unsure, start with PNG. You can always convert a PNG to JPG later using the PNG to JPG tool, but you cannot reverse JPG compression once applied.

Common use cases

Sharing on social media

PDF attachments cannot be posted to most social platforms. Converting a page to an image lets you share it anywhere.

Presentations

Extract a diagram or chart from a PDF to embed directly in a PowerPoint or Google Slides presentation.

Website thumbnails

Create preview images of PDF documents to display on a website before the user downloads the full file.

Archiving individual pages

Store specific pages as standalone image files for reference or record-keeping without requiring a PDF reader.

Messaging apps

Share a page from a PDF as an image in WhatsApp, Telegram or any app that does not support PDF attachments.

Document verification

Extract an ID page, certificate or form page as an image for submission where an image is required.

Why no-upload matters for PDFs

PDFs commonly contain sensitive content: contracts, financial statements, medical records, identification documents. Most online PDF tools upload your file to a server for processing, where it may be stored or logged.

This tool uses PDF.js, Mozilla's open-source PDF rendering engine. Your PDF is read directly from memory, rendered page by page onto a canvas, and converted to image files all within your browser tab. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a PDF to an image online?

Drop your PDF file into the converter above. Choose PNG or JPEG as the output format and select a resolution. The tool renders each page as an image directly in your browser. Pages appear one by one as they are processed. Download each page individually or all pages as a ZIP file.

Should I convert PDF to PNG or PDF to JPG?

Use PNG for PDFs containing text, diagrams, charts or screenshots. PNG is lossless and preserves sharp edges exactly, making text readable even at small sizes. Use JPEG for PDFs that are primarily photographs or scanned documents where a smaller file size is more important than perfect sharpness.

What resolution should I choose?

Screen (72 DPI) produces compact files for web use and quick sharing. HD (144 DPI) is a balanced choice for presentations and documents. Print (216 DPI) produces the largest, sharpest images for printing or archiving. Higher resolution means larger file sizes and longer processing time.

Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using Mozilla's PDF.js library. Your PDF file never leaves your device. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet after the page loads, conversion still works because everything runs locally.

How many pages can I convert at once?

There is no hard limit. Pages render one at a time and appear progressively as they complete. For large PDFs at high resolution, rendering may take a few seconds per page. Very large PDFs at Print quality may be slow on older devices due to memory usage.

Why would I convert a PDF to images?

Common reasons include: sharing a specific page on social media or messaging apps where PDF attachments are not supported, using a page as a slide or presentation image, creating thumbnails of PDF pages for a website, archiving individual pages as standalone image files, and embedding PDF content in documents that do not support PDF insertion.

Can I convert an encrypted or password-protected PDF?

Not currently. The tool supports standard PDFs without encryption. If your PDF is password-protected, you will need to unlock it with another tool first.
