Free PDF to Image Converter — Instant PNG, JPG or WEBP

Convert PDF documents to high-quality images in seconds. Extract all pages or specify a custom range (e.g. 1-4, 7, 9-12) to download only the pages you need. Select output formats from PNG, JPG, or WEBP, adjust resolutions from 72 to 300 DPI, and convert in colour or greyscale.

Running completely client-side in your browser, your files are never uploaded to any server. This ensures 100% privacy and security for confidential documents, contracts, and scans.

How to Convert PDF to Images

  1. Drag and drop your PDF file onto the upload zone, or click to choose a file from your device.
  2. Your PDF will load locally, and preview thumbnails for all pages will appear.
  3. Configure your settings: choose between All pages or Custom range, select the output format (PNG, JPG, or WEBP), resolution (72, 150, or 300 DPI), and color mode.
  4. (Optional) Click the × button in the top-right corner of any page thumbnail to remove individual pages from the export.
  5. Click Extract images. If exporting a single page, it downloads directly. For multiple pages, a ZIP archive containing all images is generated.

Frequently Asked Questions

To convert your PDF to images with ShiftTools, simply drag and drop your PDF file onto the upload zone or click “choose a file” to browse. ShiftTools uses PDF.js — Mozilla's open-source PDF rendering engine — to process the document entirely inside your browser without uploading anything to a server. Once the PDF loads, all pages appear as preview thumbnails. Choose your format, resolution, and color mode, then click “Extract images” to download a ZIP of your image files instantly.
DPI (dots per inch) controls the pixel density — and therefore the file size and sharpness — of the exported images. 72 DPI is screen resolution, suitable for web thumbnails or previews where small file size matters. 150 DPI is a good all-purpose setting: images are crisp enough for most digital uses and moderate-size prints. 300 DPI is professional print quality — the industry standard for brochures and posters — and produces the largest, most detailed images.
Yes. Switch the page selector from “All pages” to “Custom” and a text field will appear where you can type any combination of individual pages and ranges. For example, entering 1-4, 7, 9-12 will extract pages 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 12. Commas separate individual selections; hyphens indicate inclusive ranges. Page numbers must be within the total page count of your document.
Your PDF never leaves your device. ShiftTools uses the PDF.js library which runs entirely inside your web browser using client-side JavaScript. There is no server involved, no file transfer over the internet, and no account required. This makes the tool completely safe for confidential documents such as contracts, medical records, financial statements, and personal identification documents.
ShiftTools supports three formats: PNG, JPG, and WEBP. PNG is a lossless format where every pixel is preserved exactly, making it ideal for documents with sharp text or diagrams. JPG uses lossy compression to produce smaller files, which is great for photographs or pages that contain mostly images. WEBP is the modern web format that achieves better compression than both PNG and JPG at similar quality — ideal for website display.
When “Greyscale” is selected, ShiftTools renders each PDF page normally and then applies a greyscale conversion filter to the canvas before exporting. The result is a black-and-white image with all colour information removed. This is useful for saving file size (greyscale images are typically 30–40% smaller than colour equivalents), preparing documents for black-and-white printing, or creating archival scans.
Yes. After your PDF loads, each page appears as a thumbnail in the page grid. Click the × button in the top-right corner of any thumbnail to remove that page from the export set. Removed pages are excluded from the ZIP download but your original PDF file is not modified — you can reload it at any time.
When you extract more than one page, ShiftTools packages all the exported images into a single ZIP archive using the JSZip library (which also runs entirely in your browser). The ZIP is named after your PDF file (e.g. report-images.zip). If you extract only a single page, a direct image file download is triggered instead of a ZIP.
