How PDF-to-image rendering works: The tool loads pdf.js from CDN, renders each selected page onto an HTML canvas at the chosen scale, then exports the canvas as a PNG or JPEG blob. At 1x scale, output is approximately 100 DPI. At 2x, approximately 200 DPI retina. At 3x, approximately 300 DPI print quality. Vector text rasterizes fresh at the chosen resolution, so 3x output prints cleanly with sharp edges.
Resolution and scale options: 1x screen at approximately 100 DPI is for web thumbnails and email previews. 2x retina at approximately 200 DPI is for retina displays and high-quality web images. 3x print at approximately 300 DPI is for professional printing. Austin teams use 2x for $10,000 pitch-deck websites. Miami agents use 3x for $20,000 print brochures. Denver engineers use 2x for $50,000 presentations. New York publishers use 3x for $15,000 print catalogs.
Page selection and batch limits: Enter specific pages like 1,3,5-7, or leave as all. Maximum 20 pages per run to protect browser memory. A full-bleed A4 at 3x is approximately 30 megapixels per page. Austin teams processing 20-page pitch decks hit the limit. Chicago educators extracting 15 lecture slides stay within it. Miami agents rendering 10 property pages process in one batch. Denver engineers extracting 8 blueprint pages finish quickly. Seattle designers exporting 12 portfolio slides stay under the cap.
PNG versus JPEG format: PNG is lossless and ideal for text, diagrams, charts, and line art. JPEG is lossy but far smaller for photo-heavy pages. At 2x or higher, JPEG compression artifacts are imperceptible for most uses. Austin teams use PNG for $10,000 diagram-heavy pitch decks. Miami agents use JPEG for $20,000 photo-rich property brochures. Denver engineers use PNG for $50,000 blueprint details. New York publishers use JPEG for $15,000 catalog photos. Both formats preserve text sharpness at 2x and above.
Browser memory and performance: Large pages at 3x scale consume significant memory. If the browser slows, drop to 2x or reduce the page count. Processing takes 2 to 5 seconds per page depending on complexity. The output downloads directly to your device. Files stay in your browser with no uploads. The tool is free, works instantly offline, and requires no signup ever.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why cap at 20 pages per run?
- Memory. A full-bleed A4 at 3x is approximately 30 megapixels per page. Browsers throttle or crash beyond that in one run.
- PNG or JPEG?
- PNG for text and line art. JPEG for photo-heavy pages. Both are sharp at 2x and above.
- Does this preserve vector quality?
- Text rasterizes at the chosen scale. At 3x, print output is sharp. At 2x, screen output is retina-crisp.
- Can I convert scanned PDFs?
- Yes, but the output is rasterized from the scan. Text is not selectable unless OCR was applied first.
- Is this free and private?
- Yes. It works instantly offline with no signup required ever. No files leave your browser.
- What is the maximum file size?
- 50 MB. Larger files may exceed browser memory limits during rendering.
