What DPI should I use for the output images?

72 DPI for web/email (small files). 150 DPI for laptop/projector display. 200 DPI for slide presentations. 300 DPI for printing. Higher DPI = sharper but bigger files; for a 100-page PDF, 300 DPI can mean 200+ MB.

Should I export as PNG or JPG?

PNG for documents with text (sharper edges, lossless). JPG for documents with photos (smaller files). Mixed content: try both and compare — PNG usually wins for white-background business docs.

Can I share a PDF as images on Instagram or LinkedIn?

Yes — render the PDF as JPGs at 1080x1080 or 1080x1350, post each page as a slide in a carousel. Standard format for sharing whitepapers, reports, and infographics on Instagram and LinkedIn.

Will it export each page separately or combined?

Each page exports as its own image file. Output is a ZIP containing page_001.png, page_002.png, etc. Useful for emailing 'just page 5' instead of attaching the whole PDF.

Can I extract just one specific page as an image?

Yes — select page ranges (e.g., 'just page 5' or 'pages 3-7') instead of converting the entire document. Faster and produces a smaller download.

Why is the image quality not as sharp as the PDF?

You probably used a low DPI. Increase to 200 or 300 DPI for text-heavy documents. Note: increasing DPI also dramatically increases file size — find the right balance for your use case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Upload the PDF, choose your target resolution (72 / 96 / 150 / 200 / 300 DPI), and a ZIP archive is generated containing one PNG per page named page-001.png, page-002.png and so on. The image dimensions match the PDF page size at your chosen DPI, so a Letter page at 200 DPI exports as 1700×2200 pixels.

usage

All five are available. 72/96 DPI is fine for screen previews and thumbnails, 150 DPI hits the sweet spot for general use and email-friendly file sizes, 200 DPI is recommended for archival and high-quality web display, and 300 DPI matches commercial print quality for posters, banners and magazine layouts.

technical

Yes. PNG is the default for lossless quality and transparency support, but JPG is available with a quality slider (60–95) for much smaller files, and WebP gives the best size-to-quality ratio for modern browsers. WebP is recommended for web thumbnails; PNG for print and archival.

features

The output sharpness depends on the source — if the original scan was 150 DPI, rendering at 300 DPI just up-sizes without adding detail. For best results match the rendering DPI to (or slightly below) the original scan resolution. The tool flags low-DPI sources so you do not waste storage on bloated upscales.

quality

Yes. Enter a page range (1-5, 12, 20-30) or pick pages from the thumbnail preview after upload. That way you only generate the pages you actually need — useful for sharing slide decks page-by-page or extracting just the cover and back of a long report.

features

Yes. PDFs are processed in temporary working memory and the file is deleted within minutes of the conversion completing. The generated image ZIP is also deleted from our servers automatically after a short window. No watermark is added — the PNG/JPG/WebP files are yours alone.
