page_1, page_2 and so on, so they stay in order when you unzip them.Rendering happens on your own machine. The PDF is never uploaded, and neither are the images that come out of it.
PDF pages are measured in points, at 72 to the inch, so the scale multiplier maps directly onto a resolution:
Higher is not automatically better. Going up a step roughly doubles the pixel count and the memory needed to produce it, and a page rendered at 3× for a slide deck looks exactly like the same page at 2× once it has been scaled down to fit. Pick for the destination, not by reflex.
One practical note on resolution: rendering is a fresh draw of the page at the scale you chose, independent of whatever resolution the images inside the PDF happen to be. If a page contains a 300 DPI scan and you render at 2×, the output is 144 DPI — a downscale. When the aim is to recover embedded scans at their original resolution, render at 3× and crop, or work from the source images if you still have them.
The two formats fail in opposite directions, and the page content decides which one you want.
Lossless, so every pixel is exactly what was rendered. Black text on white stays razor-edged, thin rules stay thin, and logos keep clean boundaries. Files are larger, sometimes considerably, but nothing is thrown away. This is the safe default for a document page, and the only sensible choice for anything with small type.
Lossy, exported at high quality, and typically several times smaller than the equivalent PNG. Excellent for pages that are mostly photographic, and for large batches where total size matters more than pixel-perfect edges.
The one combination to avoid is JPG on a page of small black-on-white text. JPEG compression works on blocks of pixels and struggles with the abrupt light-to-dark transitions that letterforms are made of, so characters pick up a faint grey halo. It is subtle at a glance and obvious once you zoom. PNG at the same scale has no such trouble.
Mixed document, unsure which? Convert one page each way and compare at full size. It takes twenty seconds and settles it.
Rendering is the memory-hungry part of the job: every page becomes a full-resolution bitmap before it is encoded. A 50-page document at 3× is a lot of pixels for a phone to hold, and mobile browsers cap how large a single canvas can be.
Each canvas is released as soon as its image has been produced, rather than being kept alive for the whole run, which is what lets long documents finish on modest hardware. If a very large job does feel sluggish, two things help immediately: drop to 2×, which quarters the pixel count against 3×, or split the document with Split PDF and convert it in halves. On a desktop machine, hundred-page documents at 2× are routine.
Going the other way — images into a PDF — is Image to PDF, which takes JPG, PNG and HEIC and builds a single document from them.
PNG for any page with text, tables, diagrams or logos; it is lossless, so edges stay crisp. JPG for pages that are mostly photographic, or when you need a large batch to stay small. Avoid JPG on small black-on-white text — compression blocks put a faint halo around characters that shows up as soon as you zoom.
2× (144 DPI) unless you have a reason to change it — sharp on screen, sensible file size, right for slides, web and documentation. Go to 3× (216 DPI) when the image will be printed, cropped into or zoomed. Drop to 1× (72 DPI) for thumbnails and previews.
Yes. Run the conversion, then click that page's thumbnail in the grid to download only it. The other pages stay in the grid and you can ignore them, or take them later with Download All.
Rendering redraws the page at the scale you chose, independent of the resolution of images embedded in it. A 300 DPI scan rendered at 2× comes out at 144 DPI. Use 3× when you want to stay closer to a high-resolution original, or crop from a 3× render of the page.
Switch from 3× to 2× — it quarters the number of pixels being produced — or use Split PDF to convert the document in two halves. Each page's canvas is freed as soon as its image is ready, so long documents do complete; the scale is simply the biggest lever you have on a phone.
PDF pages are composited onto a white background before export, which is what you want for a document page — text on transparency is unreadable in most viewers. For a logo or graphic that needs a transparent background, extract it in a graphics editor from a PNG render.
Remove the password first with Protect PDF, then convert. The renderer needs to read the page content, which encryption is specifically there to prevent.
No. Pages are rendered by PDF.js inside this browser tab and exported by the browser's own canvas encoder. Neither the PDF nor the images are transmitted, and closing the tab clears everything. Turn off your network connection before you start and the conversion still runs.
Privacy: All rendering happens in your browser through PDF.js into HTML canvases. The images are handed to you directly — nothing passes through a server.
