Sometimes you don't need a PDF — you need a picture. Maybe you want to drop a single page into a slide, share a page somewhere that doesn't accept PDFs, or grab a chart as a standalone image. PDF62's new PDF to Image tool turns any page of your document into a crisp PNG or JPEG, and it does it entirely on your device.
When You Need a PDF as an Image
- Pasting a page into a slide deck, document, or chat message.
- Posting a page where PDFs aren't supported — social media, forums, or image-only fields.
- Creating a thumbnail or preview of a document.
- Pulling a single figure, chart, or signature page out as an image.
How PDF62 Converts Locally (and Privately)
Like every PDF62 tool, conversion runs completely inside your browser. Each page is rendered with a self-hosted copy of the open-source pdf.js engine — the same rendering technology used by Firefox — and exported straight to an image file.
- Zero uploads: Your PDF never leaves your machine.
- Instant: No waiting on a server round-trip; rendering happens on your device.
- Private: Contracts, statements, and ID scans stay yours alone.
Because nothing is uploaded, the tool keeps working even when you're offline.
Convert a PDF in Five Steps
- Open the PDF to Image tool from the top navigation.
- Drag your PDF onto the drop zone (or click to browse). PDF62 reads it locally and shows how many pages it has.
- Choose your settings — output format, resolution, and which pages to convert.
- Click Convert to Images. A progress bar shows each page as it renders.
- Download a single page by clicking its thumbnail, or grab everything at once with Download All.
PNG or JPEG? Choosing the Right Format
- PNG is lossless and keeps text and line art razor-sharp. Files are larger, but quality is perfect. Best for documents, diagrams, and screenshots you'll zoom into.
- JPEG produces much smaller files and is ideal for scanned pages and photo-heavy content. You can also dial in the quality to balance size against clarity.
Picking the Right Resolution (DPI)
Resolution controls how detailed — and how large — your images are:
- 72–96 DPI (Screen): Small files, great for on-screen previews and web use.
- 150 DPI (Standard): A balanced default that looks clean almost everywhere.
- 300 DPI (Print): Maximum sharpness for printing, at the cost of bigger files.
A quick tip: converting many pages at 300 DPI creates large images and takes longer, so if you only need a few pages, set a page range first. For everyday sharing, PNG at 150 DPI is a great place to start.
