Frequently asked questions
What DPI should I choose?
72 DPI matches on-screen size and makes small files; 150 is the sweet spot for slides, web embeds, and sharing; 300 is print-grade — a US letter page becomes 2550×3300 pixels, so expect multi-megabyte files. If text looks fuzzy after converting, the fix is almost always stepping up a DPI tier.
JPG or PNG for PDF pages?
PNG for pages that are mostly text, line art, or diagrams — it's lossless and keeps edges crisp. JPG for photo-heavy pages, where its compression saves a lot of space and the artifacts hide in the photo detail. JPG also flattens transparency onto white, which is what you want for documents anyway.
Is the text in the images still selectable?
No — conversion to an image rasterizes everything into pixels; that's inherent to the format, not a limitation of this tool. If you need the text, extract it before converting, or run the resulting image through our image-to-text OCR tool, which also works locally.
Why do password-protected PDFs fail?
Encrypted PDFs are designed to resist being opened without the password. Open the file in any viewer with the password, save or print an unlocked copy, and convert that. Files that fail without a password prompt are usually corrupted or aren't actually PDFs despite the extension.
About this tool
The PDF to image converter renders every page of a PDF to a downloadable JPG or PNG using Mozilla's pdf.js — the same engine Firefox uses to display PDFs — entirely in your browser. Choose 72 DPI for screen-size images, 150 for sharp general use, or 300 for print quality, then download pages individually from the thumbnail grid or grab them all at once. Because rendering is local, bank statements, contracts, and IDs never touch a server. Output is pixels, so pair it with the image-to-text tool if you need the text back.
Like most tools on UtilityBase, the pdf to image runs entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded or stored on a server. It's free to use with no account required. Browse more productivity tools here.
