PDF to PNG vs PDF to JPG: which to choose
Choose PNG when
- • PDF contains text, diagrams or charts
- • You need sharp edges and crisp lines
- • Quality matters more than file size
- • Working with screenshots
Choose JPG when
- • PDF contains mostly photographs
- • You need smaller file sizes
- • Uploading to platforms that prefer JPEG
- • File size is more important than perfect sharpness
If unsure, start with PNG. You can always convert the resulting PNG to JPG later using the PNG to JPG tool.

Why no-upload matters for PDF conversion
PDFs often contain sensitive information such as contracts, financial documents, medical records or identification. Most online PDF tools upload your file to a server, creating a privacy risk.
This tool uses PDF.js (Mozilla's open-source PDF renderer). Your PDF is processed entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server.
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose PNG or JPG output?
Choose PNG for PDFs with text, diagrams, charts or sharp edges. PNG is lossless and keeps text and lines crisp. Choose JPG for PDFs that are mostly photographs or scanned images where smaller file size is more important.
What resolution should I select?
Screen (72 DPI) is best for web sharing and quick viewing. HD (144 DPI) offers a good balance for presentations. Print (216 DPI) gives the sharpest results but creates larger files and takes longer to process.
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser using PDF.js. Your PDF never leaves your device and the tool works even if you disconnect from the internet.
How many pages can I convert?
There is no strict limit. Pages are processed one at a time and appear as they finish. Large PDFs or high resolution may take longer on slower devices.
Why convert PDF to images?
Common reasons include sharing a single page on social media or messaging apps, using a diagram in presentations, creating thumbnails for websites, or archiving specific pages as standalone images.
