Browse FilesWhat Is PDF to Image?
PDF to image conversion is the process of turning each page of a PDF document into a raster image file, such as JPG (JPEG) or PNG. Instead of keeping the content as vector-based PDF data, the tool renders each page at a chosen resolution and exports it as a standard image format that can be opened in any image viewer, used in presentations, or embedded in websites and design software.
This is useful when you need to work with PDF content in contexts that expect images rather than documents — for example, inserting a diagram into a slide deck, using a PDF page as a thumbnail, or editing individual pages in an image editor. Because the conversion happens on your device at OnlinePCTools, your files never leave it, which keeps your documents private and secure.
Image formats are universal: almost every platform and app can open JPG and PNG. If you need to share a single page or a diagram without sending the whole PDF, or if you want to edit a page in an image editor, converting to image is the right approach. Using an online tool like this one avoids installing desktop software and works the same on Windows, Mac, or any device.
The tool lets you choose output format (JPG or PNG), resolution (72dpi, 144dpi, or 216dpi), and for JPG a quality slider. You can download a single page or every page at once in a ZIP file. All processing is done privately on your device; no uploads and no account required.

Convert PDF pages to high-quality images with full control over format, resolution, and quality
JPG and PNG Output
Export each PDF page as JPEG for smaller file sizes and photos, or PNG for graphics and text where you need lossless quality and transparency. Choose the format that fits your workflow and the tool renders every page accordingly.
Adjustable Resolution
Select from 72dpi, 144dpi, or 216dpi to match the output to screen use, printing, or high-quality archival. Higher resolution produces sharper images and larger files; lower values keep file size down for web or thumbnails.
JPG Quality Control
When using JPG, a quality slider lets you reduce file size by lowering quality or keep detail by using higher values. You get full control over the trade-off between clarity and file size for every conversion.
Per-Page or Bulk Download
Download one image at a time for the page you need, or download every page at once in a single ZIP file. The tool names each file with the PDF name and page number so you can find any page quickly.
100% Private & Secure
Conversion happens entirely on your device. Your PDFs stay private and your data is protected. Sensitive documents never leave your machine.
No Registration
Use the tool without creating an account or signing in. Just open the page, add your file, choose format and options, and convert. No watermarks, no limits, and no sign-up walls.
How to Convert PDF to Image
Follow these four steps to turn your PDF pages into JPG or PNG images
Upload Your PDF
Open the PDF to Image tool and drag your PDF file onto the drop zone, or click to browse and select it from your computer. The tool accepts the file and shows its name once loaded; only one PDF is processed at a time.
Choose Format and Quality
Select your output format (JPG or PNG). For JPG, use the quality slider to balance file size and clarity. Use the resolution options (e.g. 72dpi, 144dpi, 216dpi) to control how sharp the images will be.
Convert to Images
Click “Convert to Images.” The tool renders each page on your device and displays progress. When finished, you will see a grid of thumbnails for all converted pages ready to download.
Download Your Images
Download a single page by clicking its thumbnail, or use “Download All as ZIP” to get every page in one archive. Each image is named with the original PDF name and page number (e.g. document_page_1.jpg).

User Q&A / Reviews
Verified questions from real users and expert answers from the OnlinePCTools team
“I need to turn PDF slides into images for a PowerPoint deck. Can I get high enough quality for a professional presentation?”
Sarah Mitchell
Marketing Director, London, UK
Yes. Select PNG for lossless quality, or JPG with the quality slider at or near 100%. Use the 216dpi resolution option for crisp, professional results on screen and when presenting. The tool preserves the layout and clarity of each slide so your deck looks sharp. Download each page individually or use Download All as ZIP to get every slide at once, then insert the images into PowerPoint as needed.

“Are my PDFs uploaded to a server? I'm converting documents that contain confidential client data.”
James Wong
Legal Associate, Singapore
No. Conversion happens entirely on your device. Your PDF is read privately and never sent anywhere, so your files stay safe. We have no external processing or storage for your documents. Once you're done, nothing remains. Your data stays completely safe and private.

“What's the difference between JPG and PNG? I'm not sure which to pick for diagrams and text.”
Elena Vasquez
Technical Writer, Madrid, Spain
JPG (JPEG) is best for photos and complex images where smaller file size matters; it uses lossy compression so fine text or sharp edges can look slightly soft. PNG is lossless and supports transparency, making it better for graphics, diagrams, and text where you need sharp edges and no compression artifacts. Use JPG for general use and photos; use PNG when you need crisp diagrams, logos, or transparency.

“Can I convert a password-protected PDF to images, or do I need to unlock it first?”
David Okonkwo
IT Manager, Lagos, Nigeria
The tool cannot open PDFs that are password-protected or restricted. You need to unlock the PDF first — for example with our PDF Unlocker tool — and then use the unlocked file in the PDF to Image tool. Both tools process everything on your device, so your documents never leave it. Once the PDF is unlocked, you can convert it to JPG or PNG as usual.
