A basic screenshot or a low-quality export leaves text fuzzy and lines jagged. This tool exports each page at a resolution you control rather than a fixed setting. Upload a PDF and pick your format, either PNG or JPG, along with a DPI value between 72 and 300, with 150 as the default. Higher DPI means sharper detail and a larger file, which matters when a page is heading to print rather than a screen. PNG keeps crisp lines and text cleanest, while JPG produces a smaller file, handy for photos or when size matters more than sharpness. Processing runs on our servers over a secure connection, and the uploaded PDF is removed within 60 minutes. A few practical notes: - Choose a higher DPI for anything you plan to print or enlarge, since low DPI images look soft when scaled up. - Pick PNG when the page has text or line art, and JPG when it is mostly photographic content. - This tool works on one PDF at a time, so plan accordingly with several documents. - For a quick, lower-detail preview instead of a print-ready export, PDF to JPG is the simpler choice. ## How to use the PDF to Image (HQ) tool 1.
