Options

Lossless, and the only one that keeps transparency well.

dpi

Pixels per inch. 150 reads well on screen; 300 is print quality.

%

How much detail to keep. Ignored by PNG, which discards nothing.

Advanced

What shows through where the page draws nothing.

Which pages to render, and in what order: '1-3, 7, 9-'.

    What this does

    This draws each page as it would appear on screen and hands back the pixels: PNG for anything with text or flat colour, JPEG for photographs, WebP where you want both small and sharp. The density is yours to choose — 150 DPI is a readable screen image, 300 DPI is what a printer wants — and the file size follows it steeply, because doubling the density quadruples the pixels.

    What it will not do

    Every tool here says what it cannot do, in its own words, before you rely on it.

    Questions people ask

    What density should I choose?

    72 to 96 DPI for something to look at on screen, 150 for a good screen image or a rough print, 300 for print. Above that the file grows fast and the page rarely holds any more detail.

    Why is the text in the image not selectable?

    Because it is no longer text. Rendering a page turns everything on it into pixels — that is what makes it an image. If you want the words, use PDF to text instead.

    Is my file uploaded anywhere?

    No. The work happens in this browser tab, on your own machine. There is no server in this product to send a file to, which is why the promise is checkable rather than something you have to take on trust: open your browser's network panel and watch it do the work without making a request.

    Is there a size limit, or a limit on how many files?

    None that we impose. The limit is your own machine's memory, because that is where the work happens — a few hundred megabytes is comfortable on a laptop, and less on a phone. There is no daily task counter, no queue and no account.

    What does it cost, and what is the catch?

    Nothing, and there is no paid tier that unlocks features: the whole product is the free one. That is affordable because running it costs us nothing — your computer does the work — so there is no per-file cost to recover, no advertising and no data to sell.
