PDF to images

A screenshot is not the answer

It crops what is on the screen at the screen's resolution, so the picture comes out soft and fit only for viewing. Exporting directly gives the page at its own resolution.

Export the imagesJPG or PNG

There are two sides to this: turning a whole page into an image, or pulling out the images embedded inside the document. The first is for viewing and sharing, the second for when the picture itself is the point.

JPG or PNG

Choose JPG

For pages with photographs and smooth colour gradients. The file is lighter and the difference does not show in ordinary viewing.

Choose PNG

For pages with text, lines and drawings with hard edges. The edges stay clean and the file is heavier in exchange.

Resolution

The resulting image cannot exceed what the document already holds. A page built from a low-resolution scan comes out at that resolution whatever format you pick.
