PDF ↔ Image
Render PDF pages to PNG, or assemble images into a single PDF.
What is PDF to Image Conversion?
PDF to image conversion renders the pages of a PDF as raster images (PNG or JPEG). This is useful for embedding PDF content in presentations, creating thumbnails, or sharing PDF content in an image-only format. The reverse — image to PDF — is also common for archiving scanned documents.
How to convert PDF to image online
- Upload your PDF file.
- Choose the output format (PNG or JPEG) and the resolution (DPI).

Frequently Asked Questions
What resolution should I use?
72 DPI is screen resolution. 150 DPI is suitable for general display. 300 DPI is the standard for printing. Use 300 DPI if you plan to print the converted image.
Does the conversion preserve text sharpness?
PDF-to-image conversion rasterises text — at low DPI, text may appear blurry. Use 200 DPI or higher for readable text in the output image.
Can I convert multiple pages?
Yes. Multi-page PDFs are converted to multiple images, one per page.
What is the difference between PDF and image?
A PDF is a vector-based document format that preserves fonts, links, and selectable text at any zoom level. An image (PNG or JPEG) is a raster — text becomes pixels and is not selectable or searchable.
