How PDF pages become images
A PDF describes pages as text, shapes and pictures, not as pixels. To convert a PDF to images, each page has to be drawn, or rendered, at a chosen size, and the result saved as a picture. This tool uses the same open-source rendering engine as the Firefox PDF viewer to draw each page onto a canvas in your browser, then saves it as a JPG or PNG. Because the page is drawn on a white background, pages with transparent areas still come out looking right.
Resolution decides how sharp the result is. A page is measured in points, 72 to the inch, so 72 dpi gives an image about the size of the page on screen, 150 dpi is a good balance for sharing and reading, and 300 dpi is the usual choice for print. Higher numbers make larger files and take longer, and very large pages are scaled down automatically so the browser doesn't run out of memory.
Choose JPG for photos and scanned pages: files are small and the Quality slider trades size against detail. Choose PNG when you want lossless output for text, line art and screenshots, which is why people look for a PDF to PNG converter as often as a PDF to JPEG one. Images are named with the page number, such as report-page-01.jpg, so they sort in order.
Everything runs in your browser. The PDF is read locally, so contracts and personal documents are not uploaded, and there is no page limit. If a file is password-protected, the tool asks for the password and uses it only inside your tab to read the pages.
