How to convert PDF pages into JPG or PNG images

Sometimes you need one page of a PDF as an image for a slide or a set of pages as separate image files. Choosing the right page range and resolution helps you avoid unnecessary file size.

Open PDF to image converter

Step-by-step

  1. 01

    Choose a PDF file

    Open the “PDF to Images” section of the HanCutTool PDF converter, then select a file or drag it into the drop area.

  2. 02

    Select JPG or PNG

    JPG is generally practical for photographic pages. PNG may better suit diagrams and text-heavy pages when you want to avoid lossy JPEG compression.

  3. 03

    Set DPI and page range

    The default setting is 150 DPI. You can choose 200 or 300 DPI for finer rendering at the expense of processing time and file size. Enter a range such as “1, 3-5” to export selected pages only.

  4. 04

    Convert and download

    Start conversion, inspect the previews and download individual images or a ZIP archive containing multiple results.

Things to know

  • Text inside the exported image is no longer selectable or searchable as it was in the original PDF.
  • Password-protected PDFs may require the opening password; damaged or unusual documents may not convert.
  • The tool limits a conversion to 100 pages and a 100 MB PDF. Split very large jobs into smaller page ranges.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose JPG or PNG?

Try JPG for photographic pages and compare PNG when you have sharp text, charts or line art.

Does this converter include OCR?

No. It renders PDF pages as images; it does not recognize text or create editable text layers.
