PDF → PNG / JPEG converter

Drop one or more PDFs, pick the pages and the resolution, and take the images back — one file per page or a single ZIP. Rendering happens in your tab with pdf.js, so the document is never uploaded.

pdf.js is fetched on demand and runs in this tab; your files are never uploaded. The outputs are raster images, so the text stops being selectable.

Why render PDFs in your own tab

Search for “pdf to jpg” and the top of the page is a wall of upload boxes: iLovePDF, Adobe, PDF24 and the rest all want the file on their server before you get a single page. For a payslip, a contract, an ID scan or an internal report that is a real decision, not a formality — and the free tiers add watermarks, page caps or a queue.

This page is the same job without the upload. pdf.js — the renderer behind Firefox’s PDF viewer — runs in your tab, draws each page onto a canvas and hands you PNG or JPEG files. The differences that matter are not the conversion itself but the control around it:

Nothing is uploaded and there is no share link: the PDF is read with the File API, rendered on a canvas in your tab, and packaged with a local ZIP writer. The renderer itself is fetched on demand, so the page stays light until you actually drop a file. Two honest limits: the output is a raster image, so the text stops being selectable (that is what “to image” means), and extremely large pages at high DPI can exceed what a browser canvas can allocate — in that case you get the exact page and pixel size rather than a mystery failure.

FAQ

Are my PDFs uploaded?
No. The file is read with the File API and rendered by pdf.js inside your browser tab; there is no backend endpoint that accepts documents and no copy is stored anywhere. You can confirm it in the Network panel — nothing fires when you render.
Which DPI should I choose?
72 DPI reproduces the PDF’s own units (small files, screen-sized), 150 DPI is the sweet spot for reading and sharing, and 300 DPI is print-grade. Doubling the DPI quadruples the pixels, so a 300 DPI A4 page is about 8.7 megapixels — the tool shows the exact size before rendering.
Why did one page fail to render?
Browsers cap a single canvas at roughly 16384 px per side and at a memory-dependent total area. A very large page (A0 posters, engineering drawings) at 300 DPI can exceed that. The tool computes the pixel size first and reports the page and the numbers instead of skipping it quietly — lower the DPI for that page or split the file.
Can I still select the text in the images?
No — PNG and JPEG are raster formats, so the text becomes pixels. If you need a searchable document, you want OCR rather than rasterisation, and this tool deliberately does not pretend to do it.
What about password-protected PDFs?
They work: type the password in the field and pdf.js decrypts the file locally. A wrong password is reported as such instead of failing silently, and the password is never stored or transmitted.
