A page from a report into a slide, a diagram into a chat message, a form into something you can mark up — all of them start with getting the page out of the PDF as a picture.
The document never leaves your browser. The pages are drawn on a canvas here with the same engine that displays a PDF, which is what makes this usable on work documents that are not allowed to go to an outside service.
Pick the resolution by what the picture is for. Screen is enough to paste into a message; document suits a slide; print is worth it only when the result will be printed, because the files get large quickly.
How it works
- Choose a PDF.
- Pick the pages, the format, and the resolution.
- Save — one page arrives as an image, several as a ZIP.
Frequently asked questions
PNG or JPG?
PNG for pages that are mostly text, diagrams or screenshots: it is lossless, so small lettering stays crisp. JPG for pages that are mostly photographs, where the file is several times smaller and the loss does not show.
Which resolution should I choose?
96 DPI matches a screen and is enough for a message or a chat. 150 DPI is the useful middle and what a slide wants. 300 DPI is print resolution and roughly ten times the file size of screen — worth it only if it really will be printed.
Can I get the text back out of the images?
No. An image of a page is a picture; the characters are gone. If you want the words, use Read Aloud, which reads a PDF's text layer, or copy them from a PDF reader. This tool does the opposite conversion on purpose.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. It is rendered in your browser. The only thing fetched from Utilark is a character-mapping table, and only when a PDF uses an older Korean or Japanese encoding — your document is not sent with that request.
