150 suits reading on screen. 300 is print quality and roughly four times the pixels.

Rendering is the slow part, so naming only the pages you need is the fastest way to speed it up.

    How it works

    Each page is drawn by pdf.js onto an OffscreenCanvas at a scale derived from the resolution you pick, then encoded as JPEG by the browser. The renderer normally expects a main thread with a document, so it is given a canvas factory built on OffscreenCanvas and told not to load fonts through CSS. Pages are rendered one at a time and their canvases released immediately, because an A4 page at 300 dpi is around 35 MB of pixels on its own.

    What to watch out for

    Text stops being text

    A rendered page is a picture of a page. Nothing in the result can be selected, searched or read aloud by a screen reader, and the file size grows with resolution rather than with content. If you need the words rather than the look, this is the wrong direction.

    Resolution costs memory squarely, not evenly

    Doubling the dpi quadruples the pixels. A4 at 150 dpi is about 9 MB in memory; at 300 it is 35 MB, and at 400 it passes 60 MB for a single page. On a phone a long document at 300 will run out of memory, which is why the range stops at 400 and the pages render one at a time.

    Some colour effects are dropped

    PDFs can describe colour transfer functions that readers apply through filters needing a browser document, which a Web Worker does not have. Those functions are skipped, so a document using them renders with its plain colours. Ordinary text and images are unaffected.

    Unusual fonts that were never embedded may be substituted

    A document carrying its fonts inside itself renders exactly, and the fourteen standard faces every reader knows are handled too. A file that names some other font without embedding it has to be approximated, so the letters are right and the shapes may not be. Text-heavy documents from unusual software are where you will notice.

    Limits

    Files up to about 100 MB work reliably. Beyond that, the ceiling is your device's memory rather than any rule we impose — the work happens on your own machine. Tested in Chrome 140, Firefox 143, Safari 18.

    When a picture of the page is what you want

    Converting a PDF to images sounds like a downgrade, and often it is. There are a few cases where it is exactly right.

    Uploading to somewhere that refuses PDFs — application forms, marketplace listings, printing services and a great many older web systems accept images and nothing else. Putting a page into a slide deck or a document, where an image behaves predictably and an embedded PDF does not. Sending a single page from a long file without sending the rest of it.

    Choosing a resolution

    The number is not decoration. A PDF page is measured in points, 72 to the inch, and the resolution decides how many pixels each point becomes.

    72 reproduces the page at its nominal size, which is fine for a thumbnail and too coarse to read comfortably. 150 is the sensible default: text is clear on a screen and the files stay manageable. 300 is what print work needs, and it produces images four times the pixel count of 150 — an A4 page becomes roughly 2480 by 3508.

    Going higher rarely helps. Beyond 300 you are enlarging the renderer’s own output rather than recovering detail, because the source is instructions rather than pixels.

    Why the pages come one at a time

    Rendering is the expensive step, in time and in memory. A single A4 page at 300 dpi occupies about 35 megabytes as raw pixels before it is compressed, and a sixty-page document rendered all at once would ask for two gigabytes.

    Each page is therefore drawn, encoded and released before the next one starts. That is slower to watch than a progress bar that fills instantly, and it is the difference between finishing and crashing the tab on a phone.

    If you only need part of the document, naming a page range is by far the most effective way to speed things up — it is the only setting that reduces the work rather than the output.

    Everything happens on your machine

    The rendering engine, the canvas and the encoder all run inside a Web Worker in your browser. Contracts, medical letters, statements and exam papers are exactly the documents people turn into images, and exactly the ones that should not be uploaded to a stranger’s server to do it.

    Once the page has loaded, the tool keeps working with the network switched off.
