About PDF to Image
This tool renders each page of a PDF as a separate PNG image using pdf.js, the same PDF rendering engine used inside Firefox, running entirely in a background worker in your browser. Rather than extracting embedded images from the PDF, it draws the fully composed page — text, vector graphics, and any embedded images together — onto a canvas at 2x scale, which produces a sharper result than a 1:1 render and holds up reasonably well if you need to zoom in afterward.
Every page becomes its own downloadable PNG, shown in a grid so you can preview all of them before deciding which pages to save; there's no bundling into a single combined image or ZIP, so multi-page PDFs mean multiple individual downloads.
Because rendering happens through pdf.js's actual layout engine rather than a simplified text/image extractor, it handles PDFs with complex layouts, rotated pages, and mixed content correctly, but it can't process encrypted or password-protected PDFs, or files that aren't valid PDF structure — those fail with an error rather than a partial render.
How to use PDF to Image
- Upload a PDF.
- Each page is rendered to a PNG at 2x scale for a sharp result.
- Download pages individually, or all of them.
Worked examples
Input: A 5-page PDF
Result: Five PNG images, one per page, with text, vectors and embedded images combined.
Background
Pages are drawn with pdf.js, the PDF renderer used in Firefox, onto a canvas. The result is a picture of the page, not the images embedded inside it, so text becomes pixels and is no longer selectable.
A 2x scale gives crisper text than a 1:1 render, at the cost of larger files. Very long PDFs use more memory in your browser, so convert large documents in sections if the tab becomes slow.
Common mistakes
- Expecting extracted original images. The tool renders whole pages.
- Trying to convert a very large PDF in one go on a low-memory device.
- Forgetting that PDFs with passwords need to be unlocked first.
