How each page becomes an image
Each selected PDF page is rendered onto an HTML canvas at your chosen resolution — 1x for screen use, 2x for most printing and general sharpness, 3x for fine detail or further editing — then exported as JPG or PNG. This is a rasterization — text becomes pixels — so the output is a snapshot of how the page looks, not an editable document.
JPG vs PNG for a converted page
JPG produces smaller files and suits pages with photos or scanned content. PNG is lossless — better for pages that are mostly text, line art, or diagrams, where JPG's compression can introduce visible fuzziness around sharp edges. Both options render the same way; only the final compression differs.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get PNG instead of JPG?
Yes — pick PNG in the Format setting before converting. PNG is lossless, which suits text-heavy or line-art pages better than JPG's compression.
Can I convert just some pages instead of the whole PDF?
Yes — leave the Pages field blank to convert everything, or enter a range like 1-3,8,10-12 to convert only specific pages. This also speeds things up on long documents, since only the pages you list get rendered.
Why does text look slightly different than in the PDF?
Converting to a raster image turns vector text into pixels — at typical screen resolutions this is imperceptible, but zooming in far enough will show the difference between crisp vector outlines and a fixed-resolution image. A higher resolution setting (2x or 3x) narrows this gap.
Is my PDF uploaded when I use this tool?
No. Rendering happens entirely in your browser using a JavaScript PDF library — nothing is uploaded.
