Features

  • JPG or PNG

    JPG has an adjustable quality from 50 to 100 percent. PNG is lossless.

  • Three resolutions

    72 DPI gives the page’s natural size, 150 DPI is the default and 300 DPI suits print. An A4 page is 1239 × 1754 pixels at 150 DPI.

  • Choose pages

    Convert every page, or click thumbnails to select some. Select all and Clear help with long documents.

  • Sortable file names

    Files are named like report-page-01.jpg, with zero-padded numbers so they sort correctly.

How to use PDF to JPG/PNG

  1. Choose a PDF or drop it onto the page.
  2. Select JPG or PNG, a resolution, and click the pages you want, or leave all pages selected.
  3. Select Convert and wait for the progress bar.
  4. Download the images individually or as one ZIP.

Supported formats

ProducesJPG, PNG, ZIP of images (when several pages are converted)

Pages are drawn on a white background. PNG output does not have transparent pages.

Limits and things to know

  • One PDF at a time, up to 100 MB.
  • Each image is limited to 40 megapixels and 16,384 pixels per side. Larger pages are scaled down, and the result tells you so.
  • A single run can produce at most 400 megapixels in total, which is about 180 A4 pages at 150 DPI or about 45 at 300 DPI. Convert big documents in batches.
  • Fonts that are not embedded in the PDF are replaced by the browser’s fonts, so some pages can look slightly different from other viewers.
  • Password-protected PDFs cannot be converted.

Privacy and processing

Pages are drawn by PDF.js on a canvas in your browser and encoded as images there. The finished images stay in the browser’s memory until you download them or leave the page. FilesKit has no server that receives your PDF or the images.

Common uses

  • Slides and posters as pictures

    Turn a presentation exported as PDF into images for a website or a chat.

  • Preview thumbnails

    Create a cover image of the first page of a document.

  • Print-ready images

    Render pages at 300 DPI for a print shop that asks for images.

  • Share one page

    Send a single page as a picture instead of the whole PDF.

How this differs from other approaches

Online PDF-to-image services upload your document to a server and render it there. This tool renders on your device, so the document is not sent anywhere. Screenshots give lower quality and fixed sizes, while desktop programs can handle very large or unusual PDFs.

Frequently asked questions

Which resolution should I choose?

150 DPI is a good default for screens. Use 300 DPI for printing and 72 DPI for small previews.

Why does PNG take so much space?

PNG is lossless, so page images with photos or gradients become large. Use JPG when file size matters.

Can I convert only some pages?

Yes. Click the thumbnails of the pages you want before converting.

Is my PDF uploaded to convert it?

No. Conversion happens in your browser, and FilesKit has no server that receives files.
