| Requirement | Value |
|---|---|
| Input | One or more PDFs |
| Output | One image per page |
| DPI | 72 to 300 |
| Size target | Per image, optional |
Each page becomes its own image. If there are several, you can download them individually or as one ZIP.
DPI decides how many pixels each page becomes, and it is the setting that matters most here. 72 gives the smallest files and is enough for a thumbnail. 150 is the sensible default for reading on a screen and for most portal uploads. 300 is what a printer expects and produces files several times larger.
Picking 300 when the image is only going to be uploaded wastes size you will then have to compress away, which loses more quality than choosing 150 in the first place.
Some upload slots accept only JPEG even for documents. Police verification is one — its supporting documents must be images between 75 and 100 KB, not PDFs. Converting here and then fitting the band is the two-step answer, or use the document tool, which does both at once.
The target applies to each page separately, not to the set. That is usually what a form wants, since each slot has its own limit.
An image cannot hold selectable text, so the result is not searchable and cannot be copied from. A digital signature is also gone, because the signature belongs to the PDF and not to the picture of it. If the document is digitally signed and the portal accepts PDFs, submit the PDF.
Password-protected PDFs cannot be read here. Remove the password in the application that created it first.
Add the PDF, choose a DPI, and press Run. Each page comes out as its own image, and several pages can be downloaded together as a ZIP.
150 for reading on screen and for most portal uploads, 72 for the smallest possible files, and 300 only if the image is going to be printed.
Some upload slots accept only images. Police verification, for example, wants its supporting documents as JPEG between 75 and 100 KB.
No. Remove the password in the application that created the file first, then convert it here.
