About PDF to images

How Can You Verify That Your Files Never Leave This Browser?

You do not have to take our word for it. Browser developer tools list every request a page makes, so you can watch 2pdf work and confirm that your document is never sent anywhere. The check takes about a minute.

  1. Open your browser developer tools with F12, or Cmd+Option+I on a Mac, and select the Network tab.
  2. Reload the page and let it finish. You will see the page's own files, its web fonts, the PDF engine, and one anonymous page-view request. No file has been chosen yet, so none of them can contain your document.
  3. Click the clear icon in the Network tab so that the log is empty.
  4. Choose a PDF in the PDF to images tool above and press its button, then save the result.
  5. Look at the Network tab again. It is still empty, or it shows only files fetched from 2pdf.app itself, such as a standard font or an image decoder the PDF engine needed to draw a page. Click any of them: each one is a request for a file, and none carries your document. For extra proof, turn on offline mode after the page loads and the tools keep working.

Your file is read into this tab's memory with the browser's own file reader, processed by code that is already on the page, and handed back to you as a download. It is never uploaded, never stored in the browser, and gone when you close the tab. The only other request the site can make is the feedback form, and only when you submit it.

The production site also sends a Content-Security-Policy header that tells your browser to refuse connections to anywhere except this site and the anonymous analytics endpoint, so even a bug could not send a file elsewhere.

Should You Choose PNG or JPG?

  • PNG is lossless: text, lines, and charts stay crisp. Choose it for documents, slides, and anything with text.
  • JPG makes much smaller files for pages that are mostly photos or scans, with a small loss of sharpness around text.

If you are not sure, PNG is the safe choice for documents.

Which Resolution Do You Need?

  1. 72 dpi: the page at its natural screen size. Good for previews and thumbnails.
  2. 150 dpi: sharp on most screens, and the right size for slides, websites, and chat apps.
  3. 300 dpi: print quality. A Letter page becomes about 2550 x 3300 pixels.

Very large pages at 300 dpi would exceed what a browser can draw at once, so those pages are drawn at the largest size the browser allows, and the result says so.

Can You Convert a Password-Protected PDF?

Yes. This tool only reads the file, so it can open a password-protected PDF if you type the password. The password stays in this tab, is used to open the file here, and is never sent anywhere or saved. The images you get are not protected, so treat them with the same care as the original.

Why Turn PDF Pages Into Images at All?

To post a page where PDFs are not accepted, such as a chat app, a slide, or a web page; to use a page as a thumbnail; or to flatten a document completely. An image of a page carries none of the PDF's metadata, form fields, or hidden layers, so it is also a blunt but reliable way to share exactly what is visible and nothing more.

What Else Can You Do With a PDF Here?

  • Merge PDF: Combine PDFs, JPG and PNG images, and text files into one PDF, in the order you choose.
  • Split PDF: Extract a page range, or cut a PDF into single pages, fixed-size parts, or your own ranges.
  • Organize PDF pages: See every page as a thumbnail, then reorder, rotate, delete, or insert blank pages.
  • Rotate PDF: Rotate every page or just the pages you list by 90, 180, or 270 degrees, losslessly.
  • PDF metadata editor: View and edit title, author, subject, keywords, and dates, or strip all document metadata.
  • Fill PDF form: Fill text boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons, and dropdowns in a PDF form, then flatten if you like.
  • Images to PDF: Turn JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, or BMP images into one PDF, with Letter, A4, or fit-to-image pages.
  • Extract text from PDF: Pull the text out of a PDF page by page, then copy it or save it as a plain .txt file.

All nine tools are on the 2pdf home page. Part of the 2suite.io privacy-first ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I get a ZIP file?

When you convert more than one page, the images come together in one ZIP so your browser makes one download. A single page downloads as a plain image.

Are the images exactly like the PDF?

They are drawn by the PDF engine used in Firefox, so they match what most viewers show. Rare features, such as some printer-specific colors, can look slightly different.

Can I convert only one page?

Yes. Choose Some pages and type its number.

Is there a page limit?

No. Long documents at 300 dpi take a while and use a lot of memory, so convert them in batches on a phone.
