PNG or JPG · pick the DPI · one ZIP per source file

Drop PDFs and rasterise every page to PNG or JPG. Each input file produces a ZIP containing the page images. Pick a higher DPI for print-quality output, lower for thumbnails.

When to use this tool

Convert PDFs to PNG / JPG when you need the pages as images — to embed in slides, post on social media, drop into a CMS that doesn't accept PDF, or to feed into an image-based pipeline (OCR, computer vision, manual cropping). Pick the right DPI for the destination: 72-100 for web/screen, 150 for everyday previews, 300 for print quality, 600 only if you absolutely need it.

Step by step

1. Drop the PDFs. Each file becomes one ZIP of images.
2. Pick PNG or JPG. PNG is lossless and best for diagrams or text-heavy pages. JPG is smaller, fine for photos and busy graphics.
3. Pick the DPI. See "Picking DPI" below.
4. Click "Render & download ZIP". Status updates as each page renders.

Picking DPI

• 72 / 100 — web thumbnails, social media previews. Small, fast, fuzzy if zoomed.
• 150 — default. Sharp on typical screens, manageable file size.
• 200 — preview quality, intermediate file size.
• 300 — print quality. Use this when the images will be physically printed.
• 600 — high-resolution OCR / archival. File sizes balloon (several MB per page); tab may run out of memory on long PDFs.

Common use cases

• Slide screenshots. Pull every page of a deck as a PNG to drop into Notion, Confluence, or a Google Doc.
• Social previews. Page 1 of an article as a 1080×1920 image for an Instagram Story.
• OCR pipeline. Many OCR tools want one image per page rather than a multi-page PDF — render at 300 DPI and feed in.
• Web embeds. CMSes that don't accept PDFs but love PNGs.
• Quick visual review. Convert a 12-page report to JPGs and scroll through them in a folder previewer.

Common mistakes

• Picking too high a DPI. 600 DPI on a 100-page PDF can use 2 GB of memory — the browser tab will freeze. Start at 300 and go higher only if you genuinely need it.
• JPG for diagrams or screenshots. JPG compression makes hard edges blurry. Use PNG for line art and text-heavy pages.
• Forgetting that the output is rasterised. The PNGs/JPGs lose all the underlying text and selectability — they're just pixels.
