PDF to Image
FreeConvert PDF pages to PNG or JPG images at the resolution you choose.
Convert each page of a PDF into a separate image directly in your browser. Choose PNG or JPG output and select the resolution that best matches how you plan to use the images.
PDF-to-image conversion is useful when you need page previews, thumbnails, graphics for presentations, image-based sharing, or individual page files instead of a PDF document.
Each PDF page is rendered as its own image, so a multi-page PDF produces multiple image files.

How it works
Upload your PDF
Upload a PDF file up to 100 MB.
Choose format & resolution
Choose PNG or JPG, then select 72, 108, 144 or 216 DPI depending on the image size and detail you need.
Download page images
Convert the PDF pages and download the generated images individually or use the available Download All option.
Why use this tool?
One image per PDF page
Convert every page into its own image file, making it easier to preview, share or reuse individual pages.
Choose output resolution
Select from 72, 108, 144 or 216 DPI depending on whether you need smaller screen images or higher-resolution output.
PNG or JPG output
Choose PNG when you want lossless image output, or JPG when smaller file size is more important than lossless encoding.
Preview each page
Review the rendered page images before downloading so you can confirm the chosen format and resolution suit your needs.
When Should You Convert a PDF to Images?
Thumbnails and previews
Convert PDF pages into images when you need visual previews for websites, document libraries, dashboards or content listings.
Presentations and documents
Turn a PDF page into an image when you want to place it inside slides, reports or other documents without embedding the full PDF.
Share individual pages
Export a specific page as an image when the recipient only needs that page and a PDF file is unnecessary.
Visual page copies
Create image versions of PDF pages when you need visual snapshots for reference, review or image-based workflows.
Understanding DPI, Resolution and Output Size
DPI controls how densely each PDF page is rendered into pixels. A higher DPI creates an image with larger pixel dimensions and more detail, while a lower DPI creates a smaller image that is faster to store and share.
Increasing DPI does not change the original PDF page itself. It only changes the resolution of the generated image.
72 DPI: Suitable for basic screen previews, thumbnails and lightweight sharing where smaller image dimensions matter more than fine detail.
108 DPI: A middle option for screen use when you want more detail than 72 DPI without generating very large files.
144 DPI: A practical high-quality choice for many digital uses, screenshots, detailed previews and presentation graphics.
216 DPI: Produces larger, more detailed images and may be useful when fine page detail matters or the output will be viewed at a larger size.
Higher-resolution output suitable for more detailed use.
Higher DPI also creates larger image files and uses more browser memory, especially for long or large-format PDFs.
Choosing PNG or JPG
PNG: PNG uses lossless image encoding and is a good choice for pages containing sharp text, diagrams, screenshots, interface elements or graphics where crisp edges matter.
PNG files can be larger than JPG, especially for photo-heavy pages.
JPG: JPG uses lossy compression and is often a practical choice for photo-heavy pages or situations where smaller image files matter more than exact pixel preservation.
Fine text and sharp graphics can show more compression artifacts in JPG than PNG, depending on the export settings.
The best format depends on the page content. A page full of text and diagrams may suit PNG, while a photographic page may be more efficient as JPG.
What Happens to PDF Text, Links and Layout
When a PDF page is converted to an image, the page is rendered into pixels.
The visual appearance is captured, but PDF features such as selectable text, searchable text, hyperlinks, form fields and other interactive elements do not remain interactive in the image output.
The image shows what the page looks like; it is not an editable PDF page.
Multi-Page PDFs
A multi-page PDF produces one image per page.
For example, a 12-page PDF creates 12 output images.
The page order is preserved, so the image sequence follows the original PDF from first page to last.
PDF to Image vs Other PDF Tasks
PDF to Image: Use PDF to Image when you want PDF pages rendered as PNG or JPG files.
PDF Splitter: Use PDF Splitter when you want selected pages to remain as PDF files rather than become images.
Image to PDF: Use Image to PDF when you already have image files and want to place them into a PDF document.
PDF Compressor: Use PDF Compressor when you want to reduce PDF file size while keeping the result as a PDF.
