How to Convert a PDF to Images

A PDF is great for sharing documents, but it is awkward to drop into a slideshow, post to a forum, or pop onto a landing page. Converting pages to images gives you files that fit anywhere a picture fits.

With ThothBox's Convert PDF to Images tool you can render your pages as image files right in the browser. Your PDF stays on your device, and each page comes out as a separate image you can download in a moment.

When are images more useful than a PDF?

Images are the right format when the recipient only needs to view the content, not edit it. That includes quick previews, social media posts, presentations, and email when a lightweight picture behinds better than a multi-megabyte document.

A page-to-image conversion also lets you send just a single page as a picture, or use one as a thumbnail or cover. If a page contains only a simple chart or a form, an image is often the fastest way to get that one visual out of the document.
