Why convert a PDF to an image?
There are many situations where an image is more useful than a PDF: embedding a PDF page into a presentation, sharing a document preview on social media, using a page as a thumbnail, inserting content into a Word document, or making a PDF page viewable on platforms that don't support PDF embedding.
Which image format should I choose?
- JPG — best for documents with photos or complex visuals. Smaller file size, slight quality loss. Best for sharing and web use.
- PNG — lossless quality, larger file size. Best when you need pixel-perfect output or the image contains text you want sharp.
- WEBP — modern format, excellent compression with high quality. Best for web use where you control the display environment.
For most purposes, PNG gives the best quality for text-heavy documents. Use JPG when file size matters more than perfect sharpness.

Frequently asked questions
Can I convert just one page instead of the whole PDF?
Yes — you can select which pages to convert before clicking download.
Will the text in my PDF be sharp in the image?
Yes, as long as you choose a high enough resolution scale. PNG format at 2× or 3× scale gives very sharp text output suitable for printing or presentations.
Can I convert a scanned PDF to an image?
Yes. Scanned PDFs are essentially images already — they convert perfectly. Note that text in scanned documents is not selectable in the output image (it was never selectable in the original either).
Is there a page limit?
No hard limit. Very large PDFs may take longer to process depending on your device speed, but all pages will be converted.
