01 / Overview

How do I convert a PDF to an image?

Use this PDF to image converter to render each selected PDF page as a PNG, JPG, or WebP file. Choose all pages or a custom range, set the resolution and quality, then download one image or a ZIP. The PDF stays on your device throughout conversion.

How to use

  1. 01
    Add a PDF

    Drop a PDF onto the converter or choose one from your device. You can also load the three-page example.

  2. 02
    Choose the output

    Select PNG, JPG, or WebP, then choose 96, 150, or 300 DPI. Set image quality for JPG and WebP.

  3. 03
    Pick the pages

    Convert every page or enter a range such as 1-3, 5. The converter validates the range against the document.

  4. 04
    Convert and download

    Render the selected pages, preview each result, and download one image or all results in a ZIP file.

Who it's for

  • Design and marketing teams turning presentation pages into images for websites, social posts, and review threads.
  • Students and teachers sharing a worksheet page in apps that accept images but not PDF files.
  • Operations teams exporting selected invoice, receipt, or form pages for a visual archive.
  • Developers and QA teams creating stable page snapshots for documentation and visual comparison.

A PDF page contains text, vectors, images, and layout instructions rather than one fixed bitmap. This converter uses PDF.js to draw the complete page onto a browser canvas, preserving everything visible in the page. PNG keeps text and diagrams crisp, while JPG or WebP can make photo-heavy pages much smaller.

Resolution changes the actual pixel dimensions. Because PDF page dimensions use points at 72 points per inch, a US Letter page rendered at 300 DPI becomes about 2550 by 3300 pixels. Conversion happens locally, and the finished images are created as browser downloads without sending the source document to a processing server.

FAQ

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Your browser reads the PDF, renders its pages, and creates the image downloads on your device. CanDoYa does not receive the source PDF or the finished images. PDF.js is delivered as a static site asset and starts only after you choose Convert pages.

Is the PDF to image converter free?

Yes. You can convert PDF pages without payment, an account, or a watermark. Safety limits protect the browser from unusually large rendering jobs: PDFs can be up to 100 MB and 200 pages, with an additional pixel budget based on the selected pages and resolution.

What are the PDF conversion limits?

A PDF can be up to 100 MB and 200 pages. Each rendered page can be up to 12,000 pixels on either edge or 50 megapixels, and one conversion can total 120 megapixels. If a job exceeds that budget, choose fewer pages or a lower DPI.

Should I convert PDF to PNG or JPG?

Choose PNG for text, diagrams, line art, or screenshots where sharp edges matter. Choose JPG for pages dominated by photographs when a smaller file is more important than lossless detail. WebP is also useful for compact website images when the destination supports it.

What DPI should I use for PDF to image conversion?

Use 96 DPI for quick screen previews, 150 DPI for readable sharing and common web use, or 300 DPI for print and close inspection. A higher DPI creates more pixels but cannot recover detail that was absent from a scanned or low-resolution source image.

Can I convert only selected PDF pages?

Yes. Choose Custom pages and enter individual pages or ranges, such as 1-3, 5, 8-10. The results stay in the original document order, duplicate page numbers are removed, and every value must fall within the PDF page count.

Can I convert a password-protected PDF?

Not while the PDF requires a password. Remove the password in a trusted PDF application, then add the unlocked copy. The converter reports protected documents without uploading them or trying to bypass their security settings.

Does PDF to image conversion keep selectable text?

No. The output is a raster image of each complete page, so text looks the same but is no longer selectable or searchable. Use PDF to Text when you need editable text, or OCR for scanned pages that must become machine-readable.
